Observe the Awesome Power of Blogging

Just got this in the e-mail from Frank Barnako's Internet Daily feature on Marketwatch:

"WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - A high school teacher professor from Marseille has become famous across France and the blogosphere thanks to his one-person campaign against approval of the European Union constitution.

Etienne Chouard said as many as 25,000 people a day visited his blog, www.etienne.chouard.free.fr "My text was sent everywhere, photocopied in all the directions and even distributed in the letter-boxes," he told Liberation, a French newspaper (according to a translation by Google).

He argued against the constitution, saying that it was "illegible," not easily amended, and did not provide for a separation of powers between agencies and legislative bodies. After the constitution's defeat, Chouard was applauded by hundreds of Web loggers, a scan of blogs by Technorati.com showed. Here are the links."

Good for him. Good for us.
