Myspace content

[Partial cross-post from Squarestate.net]

Given all the recent press regarding MySpace, I was surprised not to find a compilation of useful MyS bullet points and action items for use by other progressive campaigns. (Please forgive if I have overlooked one.) Sarah Carter has done amazing things and has a great action section in the blog portion of her dad's MyS profile, but it seemed a list with advance permission for use might be helpful.

Below the flip please find a compilation of items we have used in various spots. Feel free to copy and edit the html for your own progressive campaign. [I also have the code for adding a text box of code to reference images if you'd like but it doesn't post well in the diaries.] We are working on posting updates as they occur and soon will have a campaign 'store' for fresher/young voter T-shirts etc. Finally, we recommend using the comment feature when people add the candidate because it increases clickthroughs and encourages reciprocation (which creates its own momentum).

This is still a newer area of our outreach so I am sure there are things we have missed. Please feel free to share other ideas in the comments!

"Here are some things you can do to really help the campaign:
       
  • If you haven't already done so, regardless of whether you live in CO District 53, Register to Vote!
  • Add me as a friend here on MySpace. Write me about issues you think are important.
  • Raise awareness about my stance on issues in MySpace discussion groups:
    Colorado Young Dems
    and Colorado Democrats are a couple to get you started!
  • When a relevant topic comes up in a non-political group, feel free to share your experiences involving me. After all, I'm looking to improve District 53 for all its residents, not just the 'donkeys!'
  • Post bulletins reminding your friends about campaign events, voting deadlines, and other issues important to you.
  • Visit the official campaign website to learn more about the campaign and issues. Maybe even sign up to volunteer for the campaign.

Finally, don't forget to take your MySpace campaign experience with you out into the real world. From talking to friends about the issues in coffeeshops to volunteering to walk precincts, it all makes a difference!"
