RightOnline is a project of Americans for Prosperity Foundation dedicated to advancing liberty and prosperity for all Americans through greater citizen participation online. The project began as the "brainchild" of then newly hired Erik Telford who was newly hired to coordinate Americans For Prosperity's new media outreach. AFP President Tim Phillips says back then he had learn learn from young Erik about the power of the new media. Erik Telford is now AFP's Director of Membership and Online Strategy. This month, Telford was named by Campaigns & Elections magazine as one of 2011 Rising Stars in politics.
The first ever RightOnline was in July of 2008, with more than 600 activists and bloggers attending in Austin, Texas. It was the first conservative event to ever counter the leftwing Netroots Nation Convention (formerly known as YearlyKos), an annual gathering of what the media called the most concentrated gathering of high-profile progressive bloggers to date.
