About Townhall.com

Townhall.com was launched in 1995 as the first conservative web community. At that time, only a handful of political sites existed and Townhall.com was the first major investment in online activism made by either side. In 2005, Townhall.com split off from The Heritage Foundation in order to expand the scope of Townhall.com's mission to inform, empower and mobilize citizens for political change. Today, Townhall.com is a web site that pulls together news and information from its 120 different "partner organizations," political commentary and analysis from over 100 different columnists, and activism tools developed to empower an active citizenry.

Townhall.com is designed to amplify conservative voices in America’s political debates just as the 2006 and 2008 election cycles begin to heat up.

By uniting the nations’ top conservative radio hosts with their millions of listeners, Townhall.com breaks down the barriers between news and opinion, journalism and political participation -- and enables conservatives to participate in the political process with unprecedented ease.

As a part of Salem Communications Corporation, Townhall.com features Salem’s News/Talk radio hosts, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, and Dennis Prager, who are heard on over 300 stations nationwide. Of our five hosts, three are among the top 10 radio talk shows in the nation!

For the first time, the grassroots media of talk radio, the internet, blogging and podcasting will be brought together in one place to activate conservative political participation.

By providing daily news and opinion articles, sophisticated activism tools, a vibrant blog community, online radio shows and more, Townhall.com will arm conservatives with the tools and information necessary to have an impact in shaping the news.

It’s Your World: Blog It. Podcast It. Change It.

• Blog it: Led by talk radio host and blogger Hugh Hewitt, Townhall.com is the first conservative site that enables conservatives to create their own blog in seconds.
• Podcast it: Townhall.com not only offers free podcasts of radio shows for Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt but also from leading organizations like TCSDaily.com, The VFW’s National Defense Show, The Northern Alliance Show with leading bloggers and Jay Sekulow Live.
• Change it: The Townhall.com action center is modeled after the highly successful online action tools used by Bush-Cheney ’04 and GeorgeWBush.com. Building upon the word-of-mouth marketing strategies of BC’04, Townhall.com will activate conservative talk radio listeners.
