這是正姐作家 Noreena Hertz 於 2001 年所寫的《當企業購併國家》第一章的標題，英文是"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"，原本是一首詩/歌，還是一部紀錄片，也可以是一本談論網路選戰的書的書名。

目前的情況是，革命/運動常常被播出，只是不知道有沒有人看...

PS.《當企業購併國家》第七章也談到網路行動主義/E-Activism，第十一章則是「收復國家」...哈！

《如何推翻政府》 是 Arianna Huffington 於 2000 年所寫的一本書，當時她還沒創辦 The Huffington Post。

第十三章「推翻舊制的新機器」，講的是如何用網路/網站來推動變革，提到 Phil Madsen 在 1998 年就運用網路輔助 Jesse Ventura（前摔角明星...）當選明尼蘇達州州長：

Phil Madsen, Webmaster for Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, whose stunning, dark-horse victory is often attributed to his use of the Internet to energize thousands of first-time voters.

結論：該行動了。

Sen. Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech in Chicago, Ill.

OBAMA: And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.

The First Internet Election

The candidates who are successful online are the ones who don't just lead campaigns or political parties -- they lead movements. When they ask people to get involved, they really mean it. Our 2012 candidate has to be comfortable with building a movement. Before a change in strategy can work, our candidates need to change.

The Facebooker Who Friended Obama

“One of my fundamental beliefs from my days as a community organizer is that real change comes from the bottom up,” Mr. Obama said in a statement. “And there’s no more powerful tool for grass-roots organizing than the Internet.”

The ’08 Campaign: Sea Change for Politics as We Know It

“They were Apollo 11, and we were the Wright Brothers,” said Joe Trippi, the manager of Mr. Dean’s campaign.

Twitter #vote Report

Using Twitter Vote Report, voters will be able to share their experiences and resources with one another (e.g. “#wait:120″ meaning that the wait time is 120 minutes). These messages will then be aggregated and mapped so that we can “see” voting problems around the country in real-time.
