Joe Trippi helped rock democracy when he, Joe Costello, and Zephyr Teachout created “The Big Bat” for Howard Dean.  He is one of the 24 co-founders of the Earth Intelligence Network, and specifically responsible for visualizing how individual citizens can eliminate corporate and other special interest money from all political and advocacy campaigns.  His book, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, is one of the standards in the field and preceeded the many other books about bottom-up public power.
