“Onward Netroot Soldiers”
Over at Jaybird’s Jottings, Netroots Rising gets a nice mention:
Moulitsas, who co-authored Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics, has also written a new book titled Taking on the System, Rules for Radical Change in a Digital Era. The timing was perfect for me, coming on the heels of reading Lowell Feld and Nate Wilcox’s excellent, Netroots Rising: How a Citizen Army of Bloggers and Online Activists Is Changing American Politics. Their book piqued my interest in the netroots movement and as someone steeped in old school, I felt a strong need to learn more about the new ways.
I’m currently reading Markos’ book, and hopefully will have a review shortly. One thing both books - Markos’ and ours - certainly have in common is that they both demonstrate “how ordinary citizens can make a difference.” Another is that they both tell “the stories behind the movement.” They’re great stories, too…check ‘em out!
