The State of Our Values
This week's featured campaign (conveniently displayed on our homepage) is great for a couple reasons. Sojourners
has always been innovative in encouraging offline action, and meet-ups
have proven successful not only for engaging core activists but
building lists. Judging by the response to past meet-ups, people really

E-xemplar: Chris Bell's Blog
If you don't already know the name Chris Bell, take note now: between the Texas GOP's ethical Hindenburg act and the prospective development of a three- or even four-way race splintering the Republican vote, he might just be Tom DeLay's next governor.

But even if mass e-mailing and write-to-Congress pages are now standard-issue kits on the NGO toolbelt, the continuing fecundation at the edges offers startling glimpses of the altered world in which corn farmers two years hence will assume their doubtful prerogative of annointing front-runners to palliate the lacerations of the Bush presidency.
DemocracyInAction
is lucky enough to count among its members a communard salon's worth of
truly brilliant initiatives to redefine the ways people meet and

Growth Chart Time for Online Supporters
For e-strategists pushing grenadiers around the 2006 theater in the war room, it's time to survey the online organizing scene from the commanding heights.
DoubleClick has a year-end survey of consumer e-mail usage, reporting -- no surprise -- that consumers are "increasingly reliant on the channel" and "increasingly sophisticated in their use of e-mail and ... more comfortable with marketers leveraging data to make communications more relevant."
