For the first quarter of 2010, Front Range Objectivism (FRO) members continued their activism and publishing.
In particular, FRO members published the following at the regional and national level:
Articles: 2
OpEds: 22
LTEs: 11
Some of the topics covered include the business regulations, energy, environmentalism, health care, religion, education, and the “Amazon Tax”.
We should be on pace to equal or exceed our 2009 output of 3 articles, 57 OpEds, and 48 LTEs.
The majority of this writing was done by people working in their spare time, in addition to their day jobs.
This list does not include citations and interviews in local and national media (and one overseas publication!), participation in Tea Party events, letters to elected officials, postings to Facebook and Twitter, and blogging.
I’d like to thank my fellow FRO activists for their hard work during the first three months of 2010. If I have inadvertently omitted someone’s piece, please let me know so I can update this tally.
The detailed list of our published output includes the following:
