The resulting pressure on members of the House and Senate resulted in many members announcing their opposition to the bills, effectively stopping their progress. On this episode of NationBuilder's Leaders and Creators, Adriel Hampton talks with Colin Delany, founder and editor of e.politics and director of online communications and outreach for the National Women's Law Center, about the historical online action, former Sen. Chris Dodd's old-school lobbying efforts to push the SOPA/PIPA bills on behalf of the Motion Picture Association of America, and what this battle between traditional entertainment industry interests and the web means for the future of tech industry lobbying in DC. 00:46:00nationbuildernosopa,organizing,colindelaney,nationbuilder,leadersandcreatorsIn what's being called the largest protest in the history of the Internet, web giants like Google, Wikipedia and Mozilla helped drive Internet users to the phohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/nationbuilder/2011/12/18/im-proud-of-my-work-with-acorn--nathan-henderson-jamesCurrent Eventshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/nationbuilder/2011/12/18/im-proud-of-my-work-with-acorn--nathan-henderson-james/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/nationbuilder/2011/12/18/im-proud-of-my-work-with-acorn--nathan-henderson-jamesSun, 18 Dec 2011 14:00:00 GMT"I'm proud of my work with ACORN" - Nathan Henderson-James Lifetime community organizer and long-time ACORN leader Nathan Henderson-James describes how external pressure and lack of internal controls brough down the organizing giant - and offers lessons for other advocacy groups looking to expand their influence.

Torrance is one of the digital strategists who helped lead the Scottish National Party to its most sweeping victory in history this past spring. Newspapers in the U.K. called the SNP's win a "Facebook revolution."  On "Leaders and Creators," Kirk tells NationBuilder's Adriel Hampton that his plan for the parliamentary elections started with a message he wrote on his bathroom mirror - "SNP Everywhere." The roll out included a digital organizer with each SNP candidate and twice-daily conference calls to discuss the campaign's social media messaging.  Kirk's background includes education in how to monetize technology innovation, which he now uses to turn tech innovation into votes and political muscle. After leaving a job in the Los Angeles film industry to help the SNP take power in Scotland, he's recently founded Industrial New Media and is working on a referendum to restore Scottish sovereignty for the first time in 300 years. Political organizing online will also impact the future of social media itself, Kirk says, with individuals developing a kind of collective consciousness that means, "revolutions will take place very rapidly online." 00:59:00nationbuildernosnp,organizing,nationbuilder,kirkjtorrance,scotlandKirk J.
