This has been another good week for FreedomWorks in the media. First check out my interview on NPR’s The Diane Rehm Show about the conservative revolution sweeping the country. Diane has more than 2.5 million listeners a week, and was kind enough to invite me to her studio in Washington for the interview.
Second, check out George Bennett’s piece in the Palm Beach Post about the origins of the tea party movement in Florida. George highlights the role that FreedomWorks activist Mary Rakovich played in sparking the protests in early 2009. As I say in the piece, Mary was the first person to protest the stimulus bill in the streets, and did so when president Obama joined Gov. Charlie Crist to stump for this colossal waste of money in Fort Myers, Florida.
Finally, ABC News has a story up about the Contract From America, which is making the rounds among conservative activists. It’s the idea of Ryan Hecker, from Houston, and its purpose is to provide a platform for candidates to run on in 2010.
