The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Democracy, the Internet and the overthrow of everything
Joe Trippi, Regan Books, 2004
Through Trippi's innovative use of the internet for small-donor fundraising, Dean for America ended up raising more money than any Democratic presidential campaign in history, all with donations averaging less than $100 each. Trippi's innovations have brought fundamental change to the electoral system and will be the model for how all future political campaigns are run. This is the man who 'reinvented campaigning'.
Joe Trippi began his political career working on Edward M. Kennedy's presidential campaign in 1980. His work in presidential politics continued with the campaigns of Walter Mondale, Gary Hart and Richard Gephardt. In 2004, he was National Campaign Manager for Howard Dean's presidential campaign, pioneering the use of online technology to organize what became the largest grassroots movement in presidential politics.
Trippi was a speaker in the AMSU course Political Campaigns, Internet and Democracy 2005.
