PRESS RELEASE: “News Platoons Taking Internet by Storm” Virginia News Platoon is Launched!
On Tuesday, January 20th the Virginia News Platoon will be joining four other state Platoon sites. The website, www.Virginia.NewsPlatoon.com, will work to promote local government transparency and accountability, provide a news platform for local activism networks, and aggregate the top news stories happening across the state.
State Representative Manoli Loupassi (VA-68) says, “I am excited to see the launch of the Virginia News Platoon. Conservatives need to find creative and innovative ways to spread our message. This is a great tool to outreach to the internet generation and share our policy ideas for positive change. I applaud them for their efforts to expand the parameters of debate by promoting conservative, market-oriented solutions to the serious problems we face in Virginia and across our nation.”
The News Platoons are a product of the #dontgo Movement (www.dontgomovement.com) which uses web-based strategies and tactics to advance free-market values. Its mission is to develop a fifty state strategy of blogs and internet social networks that would activate more free market conservatives in their communities leading into the 2010 elections.
#dontgo was created by Eric Odom and Allen Fuller.
