We just added a new page listing videos posted by and about some of the top Liberty Congress candidates. With the Ron Paul campaign being such a creature of the internet, it only makes sense for serious candidates to take advantage of the new media to get their message out.
It turns out that the list of candidates running active campaigns correlates highly with the list of candidates posting videos on the web. We took advantage of this situation by posting some donation links on that page. If you visit B. J. Lawson's Campaign Website, you will notice that he has posted an interactive widget much like Ron Paul's that includes a realtime update on donations and names of recent donors. Very nice!
Meanwhile I had the opportunity to talk a little bit about this website on the "Rule of Law" internet radio program. Here is a link to the show archives. I am the featured guest during Hour 1 of the January 11, 2008 show. I hope it's not too boring!
There are two new pages at Liberty Congress. One lists all the politicians in our database and presents them in alphabetically order by last name. The other groups the politicians by state. These pages, as well as our Ron Paul Endorsers page, now include thumbnail photos of the candidates. Also in development is a map-based interface to our candidates.
This blog has been updated too. There is now a functional feed, a search capability and a facebook app that you can use to put blog entries on your facebook profile. (We are working on a facebook app that will provide our standard candidate listings under facebook as well as an option to list selected candidates, such as the candidates from your home state, on your facebook profile.)
We still need more moderators as the number of candidates needing attention is mounting. At this moment we have listed over 50 candidates, but there are another 100 or so that need to be added right away. There should be hundreds more filing for office in the next month or so. If you would like to help moderate the content on this site, please send an email to moderator@libertycongress.org and tell us a bit about yourself.
