2010 Front Range Objectivism Media Output Posted: 12 Jan 2011 07:00 AM PST For calendar year 2010, Front Range Objectivism (FRO) members continued their activism and publishing. In particular, FRO members published the following at the regional and national level: Articles: 5 OpEds: 68 LTEs: 27 Some of the topics covered include the Tea Party movement, gun rights, environmentalism, health care, abortion and "personhood", Islam, Social Security, education, voting systems, and Colorado politics. For comparison, our total 2009 output was 3 articles, 57 OpEds, and 48 LTEs. (Basically, we ramped up our output of articles and OpEds, but didn't write quite as many LTEs.) The majority of this writing was done by people working in their spare time, in addition to their day jobs. This list does not include citations and interviews in local and national media, participation in Tea Party events, letters to elected officials, postings to Facebook and Twitter, and blogging. I'd like to thank my fellow FRO activists for their hard work during 2010. If I have inadvertently omitted someone's piece, please let me know so I can update this tally.
