Blog for Democracy was launched in January of 2004 as a way to help demystify the process of political involvement for new activists. Originally, this site was an informal, online extension of Georgia for Democracy, but has since taken on a life of its own.
Although a few of the original and current authors serve(d) in elected or appointed positions within state and/or county Democratic Party organizations, this website is not, and has never been, affiliated with any political party organization. The political content herein, as well as our core readership, is generally progressive.
The views expressed by individual authors do not necessarily represent the views of any group, organization, business or entity with which they may be affiliated or employed.
In the Spring of 2009, Blog for Democracy was expanded to include nine departments, in addition to the front page. As part of this expansion, we are now pleased to feature the writings of professional journalists Tom Crawford, Mike Tierney and Eleanor Ringel Cater.
In addition, our blog team includes: attorneys, small business owners, IT specialists, a political consultant, a fashion maven, a teacher, a labor leader, and an active duty soldier. You can read more about the authors here, and link up with them via social apps.
If you have problems commenting (and this site has a history of comment problems), please email Melanie and she will create a special login for you. It is nothing personal, but a software glitch from the initial installation that we've never been able to completely fix.
Speaking of comments, we reserve the right to delete any comment for any reason whatsoever. If this happens to you, you will know it. In place of all or part of your comment will appear [comment deleted by "admin name".] We've had to delete very few comments since 2004, and those were considered spam, hate speech or libelous content. We have also banned a couple of commenters for spreading same.
If you're new to blogs, please know the views of commenters are not necessarily representative of the group. Site comments are open, and anyone can sign up and leave a comment.
We now accept limited display advertising on all blogs. For size and pricing information, please see the advertise page here.
If you have comments, suggestions or concerns about this website, please email Melanie or Catherine.
Thank you for visiting Blog for Democracy.org.
