33. The online home of conservatism is still Usenet
Surprisingly the tech-savvy among the Freepers were light-years ahead of us for about a decade in terms of online organizing, but they didn't make the leap to the newer technologies until recently.

On Usenet, good examples are:
talk.politics (umbrella, but heavy conservative influence)
alt.politics.republicans
alt.rush-limbaugh

These were early and powerful examples of political virtual online communities, and they did some incredibly impressive organization work. Go and learn, but shower up after.
