Wednesday, I blogged about the launch of Liberty.com, which will officially go live Sept. 1. David Catanese reports at Politico:

A new conservative group created to harness the energy of the tea party into a national financial force has set a lofty goal for itself: match or eclipse the influence of MoveOn.org in campaigns across the country.
Liberty.com plans to launch its independent expenditure political committee Sept. 1, with the intention of becoming an all-encompassing conservative grass-roots organization that weighs in on federal and state political races and issue-oriented movements.
Launching under the umbrella of the group Americans for New Leadership, Liberty.com will be led by tea party organizer Eric Odom and begin its venture with $700,000 and 70,000 members, according to a spokesman. Odom previously built conservative coalitions under the American Liberty Alliance and The Patriot Caucus.
“We’re looking to compete directly with MoveOn.org. We’re looking to be a player for a long time. No one else on the right is doing what we’re doing,” said Liberty.com spokesman Yates Walker, who remains a consultant on Christine O’Donnell’s U.S. Senate campaign in Delaware. . . .

You can read the rest of that. Eric, Yates and Steve Foley hosted a Blog Talk Radio program about it:

  1. Is such a central concept misguided? It seems to me that the Tea Party movement has been more successful in pushing Liberty related issues as each come up (dontgo, etc…).
