Concept Descriptions

Intro to OtherNetworks Gofundme

This is the dawning of the Age of Helpfulness where political campaigns are urged to be Responsive to their supporters and understand that candidates need voters not just donors to win. Voters helping voters in unity will win the day and save the planet.

Josh Shapiro for PA Govenor

Shapiro Private Facebook Group

I love this group! But it has one drawback, it's got a lot of messages and most of them aren't for ME. What about having an email address for people to ask questions or make suggestions? The incoming emails could be sorted by team members and forwarded to specific volunteers who are interested enough to learn how Josh feels about specific issues so they can pass detailed RESPONSES to the initiating email writer. With enough volunteers, this process could even do research or find someone to do research so that people who use this email tool can come to expect personal service and feel confident that their interests are addressed as best as possible. The responding volunteer could even become an email writer's specific POINT of CONTACT to the campaign. This method would give potential voters a feeling of personal connection to the campaign and to Josh himself. With a system like this, everyone can participate in the campaign through email as well as through this GROUP, and the emails they would receive WOULD be for each person's "ME."


Gavin LichtensteinAdmin Hey Stanley, this is a good idea!! We want to encourage conversation about Josh, while also giving people opportunities to get involved through volunteer events. I’m your point of contact so please reach out anytime that you have any questions or need extra help so we can give you the info you need.


Gavin Lichtenstein The next step is to find out if the process I'm describing has enough support within the campaign and from Josh himself. It would be important to hold further conversation to allow me to feel that my idea might be implemented at some level. With some level of assurance that I'm being received well (and Thank YOU for your interest) I would be pleased to spend time working out specific details on how to build this process into the campaign.

Stanley R. PokrasAuthor For one thing, I call the range of ideas like my email thing and THIS Facebook group to be part of a "Responsive Campaign." This Facebook group is wonderful and should be integrated into a set of opportunities for the pubic to engage with the campaign. Technology today offers gobs of potential ways to give people the confidence they need to actually VOTE. By working on various ways to make the campaign "Responsive" we can blow the competition out of the water, so to speak.

Stanley R. PokrasAuthor I have been thinking about ideas for group communication without in-person meetings for over 50 years. I currently publish Wikidelphia.org where we catalog what I call "Digital Philadelphia." If you'd like, call me to set up a time to Zoom to explore ways to implement additional elements for Josh's Responsive Campaign. You can reach me at 267-968-0407 stan@communitymagic.org

Here's a new way to help people feel like voting for your Campaign.

Establish an email address and let people write their questions and suggestions to it.

Have someone direct traffic sent to that email address.

The messages should be forwarded to staff or volunteers who know how to reply and establish the campaign's relationship to the emailer.

Some of the emailers might be recruited to be part of that volunteer team.

By making your campaign interactive and responsive to the public, you'll generate more voters.

Voters, not just donors are the key to win an election.

Generate excitement for your campaign by being responsive!

You can also establish a private Facebook group for your supporters.

Josh Shapiro here In Pennylvania has a private Facebook group for his campaign. LOTS of people have joined it.

Stanley,

Greg Abbott's campaign announced a NEW $8.8 million TV ad push last month.This comes after Abbott's advisers pledged to spend $100,000,000 attacking Beto. We need your help to fight back with so much on the line right now.

Will you rush a $20 contribution to help us reach our fundraising goals so we can compete with Abbott's ad spending? While Abbott has corporate mega-donors, we have thousands of folks chipping in what they can afford. But we need your help if we're going to hit our goals in time.


Contribute $20


Reaching our fundraising goals will ensure we have the resources to reach voters across the state. That includes running our own TV ads that highlight Beto's positive vision for Texas and share the truth about Abbott's extreme agenda.

The stakes couldn't be higher after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing Greg Abbott's trigger law to outlaw abortion at any point with no exception for rape or incest.

Our only way to overcome this is to elect Beto as the next governor of Texas. We have to get really serious about political power and what it's going to take to win this race. When it comes down to it, we know that we have the grassroots organizing power to win, but we can't afford a blowout on the money side.

Abbott is going to spend tens of millions of dollars on top of this huge $8.8 million ad buy, and we need your help to make sure that we have the resources to fight back.

Reproductive freedom is on the line and every dollar you contribute will help elect a pro-choice governor in Texas. Can Beto count on you to donate right now?

Please make another $20 contribution right now to help us counter Abbott's $8.8 million ad buy and get our own ads on the air.

Thank you for your support,

Team Beto
