More BOR Press
By Byron LaMasters
I was quoted in the Atlanta Journal Constitution here:
Like Kos, Byron LaMasters can participate immediately in politics through his blog. No waiting. Just type and click the mouse.
"Formerly, if you were an activist and you wanted to get involved, how would you get involved?" asked the 22-year-old University of Texas government major who runs the Burnt Orange Report. "You contact the county coordinator who then contacts the state coordinator, then the regional coordinator then the national coordinator. A lot of stuff happens and by the time they get back to you, it's out of date.
"Blogs allow anyone to have a stake in the campaigns. Blogs are basically just online diaries, but politics has found a way to use that technology."
Meanwhile, Karl-Thomas made it into a story in the Austin American Statesman:
"It's another element of your lifestyle," said delegate Karl-Thomas Musselman, 19, a government major at the University of Texas in Austin. "It provides a connection that I think didn't exist just from watching TV or reading editorials in your local paper — it's someone I can relate to."
If no one from the Texas delegation blogged, Musselman said, "I think there would be real dissatisfaction."
