Pete:
Donald Wildmon is the founder of American Family Assn, , has a big Action Alert network and is very effective at getting members to communicate to politicians.
Lou Sheldon is chairman of Traditional Values Coalition.
I don’t know about TVC’s grassroots success or effect, because Sheldon is a very big media hog and gives the impression that his is a one-man show; Wildmon started out that way, and still signs a lot of press releases, but otherwise keeps more to the background now. (Wildmon was originally a Methodist, Sheldon originally a Presbyterian. But both are now much more fundamentalist than those denominations.)
Wes Boyd is, of course, cofounder of MoveOn
townhall.com (“The Conservative Movement Starts Here”) reports on
conservatives using Meetup.
