January's Citizen Hero: Lane Hudson

Submitted by Matt Stoller on Wed, 2007-01-24 22:11.

Blogpac's core mission is to support the internet activists that make progressive politics work. We'd be hard-pressed to find a better example of this than Lane Hudson, the guy who pushed the Mark Foley story into the national news through his 'Stop Sex Predators' blog. Because of his independent activism that created immense progressive change, Lane is the first recipient of a Blogpac Citizen Hero award (and more importantly a $2000 check for rent, liquor, food, health care, or anything else). Congrats, Lane, and thanks for what you do.

Freeze Out Fox News: Democrats in Nevada are going to have a Presidential candidate debate forum hosted by Fox News. Blogpac is taking action against this egregious granting of credibility to what we all know is a partisan propaganda outfit.

Exposing the right-wing front group Catholic League: When right-wing blogs and a front group called the Catholic League smeared John Edwards and two of his bloggers, Blogpac helped organize and lead a campaign to expose the antisemitic and bigoted nature of the attacks. As a result, Edwards chose to retain the bloggers on staffer, and media coverage included exposition of right-wing conflicts of interest.

Use it Or Lose It: When a Democratic wave looked likely, we decided that putting everything into this election was the most appropriate strategy. Use it or Lose It was a campaign to pressure Democratic lawmakers in safe districts to donate part of their warchest to the DCCC so it could be used in competitive races.

Google Bomb the Elections: Despite the prevalence of search in American life, search engines are not well-used by campaigns. We worked with liberal blogs to elevate credible mainstream on political candidates content in search rankings so that when users searched for certain political candidates, appropriate content would show up high in the results.

Netroots Survey: Who are the people doing politics on the internet? It's hard to tell without data, so what we've done is the first scientific survey on the composition of the 'netroots'.

Netroots Survey Part One
Netroots Survey Part Two

This new progressive movement is shaping up on the internet, and we will continue to try and find data on the shape of the movement and the people in it.
