A Compass for Conservative Politics on the Web
Join the Conservative Netroots Revolution!
The following roster lists groups that are developing the conservative netroots online. Each group has its own take on how to rebuild and develop American conservatism. They are listed in ALPHABETICAL order, not by importance, size or any other subjective criterion.
This list is always UNDER CONSTRUCTION and will be continually updated. Due to the rapid growth of the online conservative community, it is difficult to keep current. If (1) your group is not listed here and you would like it to be, (2) you have additional information to post about your group or (3) don't want your group on this list, please send us an email.
List launched on 12/14/08.

"The Republican brand is damaged and in need of change. In order to lead the Grand Old Party to greatness once again, fresh young faces need to step up and take the lead. We are young, active Republicans with real political experience, and we are ready and willing to be a part of this. We are convinced that the Republican Party is the only party of freedom, economic prosperity, and national security. We believe that the GOP can return to eminence sooner rather than later. We are the The NextGenGOP. We are the future of the Republican Party. NextGenGOP.com will provide analysis into the everyday happenings of our world. But more importantly, we will look to the future. We will bring new ideas to the table, and we will triumph over these trying times."

Smart Girl Politics
"SGP formed in the aftermath of the 2008 US Presidential Elections as a mechanism to join like-minded conservatives together in several unique ways:
1. To strengthen support for those political candidates demonstrating a keen and unapologetic commitment to our conservative principles and values.
2. To support individual and collective efforts that improve our local, state and national conservative communities.
3. To debate and develop clear positions that encourage conservative activism and consumerism in order to counter the negative or injudicious activity of popular culture via the mainstream media.
4. To strengthen our community economic development in ways that reflect fiscal conservatism and responsible capitalism.
5. To empower women every where to stand against the nefarious 'ism's' plaguing the world.
6. To celebrate our differences, challenge our paradigms through accountable and responsible thoughts and actions."
Social Media Platoon

Our bloggers are here to share ideas and thoughts on how collaboration through social media can advance the free-market agenda online."
"The Tennessee ConserVOLiance is committed to the idea that by working together, sharing information and strategy, the Conservative bloggers and New Media members from Tennessee can impact our cities, our state and our nation! The ConserVOLiance is not intended to be a place from which orders are issued but rather a place from which issues are ordered. It is a place where like minded people can exchange ideas and thoughts, plans and events, dreams and the means to make them come true! "
Top Conservatives on Twitter
Founders: Michael P. Leahy and Rob Neppell
"This list was first placed on the web on November 28, 2008. In the short time since then, it has become a bit of a rallying point for conservatives on Twitter. I think all of us who are on the list can conceive of many additional ways to improve the list to strengthen and grow the conservative community on Twitter. You must primarily tweet on conservative themes and cannot be merely a "campaign profile" "political office holder profile" or a "radio or television program or publication promotional profile" to be on this list. New participants are welcome. Just nominate someone you follow or yourself and show that you are primarily on Twitter as a conservative."
