A story in the Times Caucus Blog about Nancy Robinson who is a gun-control advocate from Boston and came to the blogging convention YearlyKos seeking support for her issue and Andrew Rasiej who co-founded TechPresident. Robinson found little support from the blogosphere and Rasiej gave her (and the paper) an understanding of why and how to resolve it.

The basic idea? Bloggers are trying to unite the party, avoid the divisiveness over an issue like gun-control and many are gun-owners themselves. Rasiej’s suggestion, start blogging yourself and tie the site into a database of gun-deaths around the country to put a personal face to the issue. Read the article for a recap of the conversation and some thoughts about blogging and lobbying in general.
