Online Activism -- that’s a hot topic right now. I know that because a New York Times reporter called me about it… which proves that it’s hot. This was about three weeks ago. And what she wanted to know is what we conservatives are going to do, now that The Amazing Doctor Dean has demonstrated that the Internet can be used for political activism. I asked her… have you ever heard of Free Republic? --No, what’s that? You ever hear of Town Hall? -- No. You ever hear of ConservativeHQ.com? -- No. She never heard of any of this stuff....

The week leading up to the DC Chapter's first year as a paying exhibitor at CPAC was hectic, with everyone working long into the night at their homes, printing up flyers, burning DVDs, compiling PowerPoint presentations, printing photos and business cards, and in Doctor Raoul's case, organizing his bags of tricks and getting t-shirts printed.

Angelwood brought a wide assortment of...
