Conservatives "GAIN" Netroots
Tom DeLay, former Republican majority leader, has announced the launch of a conservative Internet grassroots organization.
The organization, called GAIN - Grassroots, Action, and Information Network, aims to raise money and unite the conservative base to take back Congress. GAIN, which has been likened to the left's Move On will be hosted on at www.TomDeLay.com, a blog that will feature posts from DeLay as well as other conservative bloggers and activists.
According to The Hill, the site was supposed to be launched prior to the midterm
elections but DeLay, anticipating we suppose, altered the original concept to "reflect the need for Republican's to change course."
According to the Web site, members of GAIN will receive weekly notices and event alerts,
insider political information on the 110th Congress, and the opportunity to participate in "monthly online strategy sessions" with DeLay and others.
"As the Democrats have clearly figured out, grassroots activism and communication are
critically important components of any successful political movement. If the past two
election cycles have taught us anything, it’s that a strong, focused, and activated
grassroots network is key to achieving victory," DeLay said.
