The Family Research Council is a good example of an organization the has harnessed the capabilities of blogging to increase the effectiveness of their efforts:

As the pro-life message continues to advance, so too does the technology that carries the message. For the past year, FRC has been on the cutting-edge of the blogging movement, extending its influence on life and family issues to the online mainstream. On Monday, January 22, FRC is hosting its second Blogs for Life conference, featuring a star-studded line-up of congressional, media, and Internet leaders.

The event is free and highlights speakers such as: Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS); Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA); David Prentice, Senior Fellow, FRC; Ramesh Ponnuru, Senior Editor, National Review; Peter Samuelson, President, Americans United for Life; Joe Scheidler, Founder, Pro-Life Action League; Jill Stanek, columnist, WorldNetDaily; Rob Bluey of The Heritage Foundation; and many more. For those of you who can't make it to Washington but want to develop a better understanding of how technology can be used to promote life, log on to our website for special live coverage of the event.

As a participant in the conference, the FRC's support and sponsorship is greatly appreciated and I hope that other forward looking organizations will take advantage of this phenomenal opportunity to learn about the capabilities of weblog technology and network with individuals representing the new media.
