GrassrootsPA was a political news website centered on the politics of Pennsylvania. It was founded in 2004 by then law student Chris Lilik, a Pat Toomey supporter and became a "must-click resource" for Pennsylvania's conservative community.[1] Even though Toomey lost that race, the website continued as a gathering place for conservatives and Specter's foes.[2] The website also gained mainstream media attention as a source of breaking political news.[3][4] Political commentator Chris Bravacos noted that GrassrootsPA attracted significantly higher readership than the official websites for the two major political parties.[5]
During the public outcry following the 2005 Pennsylvania legislative pay raise, GrassrootsPA served as a focal point for reform activists.[6]The American Spectator called GrassrootsPA a "flashpoint of this conservative revolution" in Pennsylvania.[7]
In 2010, Politics Magazine described GrassrootsPA as "Pennsylvania's Drudge Report."[8]
