Bloggers for 2007

Local elections produce the most candidates and the least publicity. Now more than ever, we need bloggers.

If you have a special issue, such as land use policies, transportation, education, or some other issue, blogging offers a great opportunity to educate your readers and track legislation during the 2007 session.

Blogging about the election for Board of Supervisors, General Assembly, School Board, or any other election, gives our candidates an opportunity to ge their message out that is not otherwise available.

If you speak a language other than English, you have a special opportunity to explain local government to your community.

Don’t worry about getting readers. With regular posting you will find your audience. Send Waldo an email and he will put you on the Virginia Political Blogs aggregator. I assume the same is true of the BlogNetNews aggregator. Lefty Blogs has a page where you can add your blog. It takes them a few months to approve you, they have to make sure you write about local politics from a Democratic point of view and that you are not a troll blog.

I look forward to seeing more fine Virginia Democratic bloggers.

Note - use WordPress.
