Why We Blog

I wanted to introduce a new political blog that I've added to the links: Virginia's 5th District blog by the Jefferson Area Tea Party's Bill Hay. The Jefferson Area Tea Party is perhaps the last best hope of organizing conservatives in the Charlottesville area and I'm happy to see Hay continue his online activism. Blogging is an important part of engaging the people in the political process. It's why I'm thankful that there are candidates out there like Bradley Rees who tweet and answer questions posed to them by the people. And it's also why I'm happy to see bloggers like Hay pick up the slack when our traditional media fails to cover the news.
