Popular Bloggers to Cover Right Nation 2010

August 27th, 2010

[This post originally appeared on Illinois Review.]

Ever want to meet that person you know well simply by just reading their daily blog updates?  They’re those people who have slugged away, hour after hour, most of them without compensation, at their keyboards and video cams to bring you the news from their neighborhoods and counties.  Some of them are best at spouting off the very things you’re thinking. Sometimes their news is welcomed, but lots of times it’s not.

They’re the 21st century’s Paul Reveres.  And their value in our modern day lives is immeasurable.  They are helping us clean up the messes lame stream media has ignored or refused to expose.  They are making a difference.  And in our opinion, it’s time they were given the recognition due.

Well, at least ten of Illinois’ most talked about bloggers have agreed to make public appearances at Right Nation 2010′s Activist Training Conference in the afternoon hours leading up to the Right Nation 2010 Convention Saturday night, September 18th.  They’ll be joining the controversial Andrew Breitbart, founder of BigGovernment.com and reporting on Glenn Beck’s keynote later in the evening.

These gutsy, opinionated bloggers (who’ve agreed to leave their pjs at home) are the writers of the St. Louis area’s Gateway Pundit, Chicago’s Marathon Pundit,American PrincessPublius Forum, McLean Co’s McLean County PunditChicago News BenchGOP USA-IL Daily ClipsCao’s Blog, our own Illinois Review and Bill Baar’s West Side blog.  These great people may even sign autographs if you want!

Four major national organizations have committed to sharing a little bit of their exceptional expertise during the afternoon hours on September 18th at the Right Nation 2010 Activist Training Conference.
