SaveHUC.com - Internet Activism and Efficacy.

SaveHUC.com has already attracted nearly 1000 visitors. How does internet activism move beyond simple page views?

SaveHUC.com contains several call to actions, including links to email HUC President Rabbi David Ellenson and the chair of the Board of Governors, Barbara Friedman, as well as links to support HUC financially.

My question is, how does this get bigger? How does SaveHUC.com turn into FreeConnie.com?

The internet provides a fantastic way to rally people across geographies for a common purpose, but without further actions -- emails, letters, phone calls, petitions, letters to editors -- can a movement really take off?

The St. Lou Jew would love for you to educate us. What models have you experienced that worked?
