I've had an idea for a long time. I have yet to sit down and think it through. The idea is based on the following:

1. News, information, a message that is closest to the people is most trusted
2. Every small community, town, has a community news paper
3. Most small counties have a local county news paper
4. These small circulation papers are ran mostly by residents of local small community.
5. Majority of these papers/editors are patriotic conservative Americans. They are grass roots journalist.

What if we could organize these small papers and the editors to speak with one voice. What if we revived the concept of the "Committees of Correspondence."

"Adams seized the opportunity to found committees of correspondence throughout the colony, so set as to link all of Massachusetts into a "phalanx" against Britain."

Phalanx!! That is a good word.

Back when the revolutionists started resting British tyranny, the colonies, indeed not even the whole of individual colonies were united in purpose. So what if the British are burning your towns, and blockading your ports, that does not affect the security of the people here was the dominate thinking at the time.

Samuel Adams letters and the Committees of Correspondence formed the unified message that an attack on one, was a attack on all. I unified message formed a unified resistance. I think that by uniting all small town community/county papers the same might be accomplished.

Update: I just did some searching, and was very surprised to discover that I am not the only one thinking like this. I have no idea if this effort is using the power of small town papers/journals to magnify a message, but perhaps I will join and see.
