RockyMountain Resister: On the heels of the right-wing hacking of rockymountain.indymedia.org comes the newest alternative news service for the front range. www.rockymountainresister.org offers a newswire, links to groups and alternative media resources for activists in the area to network and keep informed on the area. All networks, organizations, groups and individuals are encouraged to create an account and help contribute to this effort of making media relevant and useful to our lives. The site is new so we need as much public participation as possible in providing timely articles, announcements, op-eds, etc. as well as spreading the word about the resister's existence. Any ideas, suggestions, offers of assistance are strongly encouraged and can be so at theresister@riseup.net
