SamSphere Chicago 2008

The ARRA News Service will be represented at SamSphere Chicago 2008 this weekend. As identified by Jenn Sierra at Fort Hard Knox: "In some ways, this is a “right” counter to groups on the left. But mostly, it will be an opportunity for (mostly state level) bloggers to share ideas, and network." The host of the event, Sam Adams Alliance, defines SamSphere as:

. . . a new media forum where bloggers and e-activists from across the country can gather together to network and share ideas. Samsphere will be specifically geared toward bloggers and e-activists who focus on local and state-level politics, and who are dedicated to the principles of individual freedom and limited government.
