GET INVOLVED
WE DID THIS IN ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF.
IT MIGHT TAKE YOU A LITTLE LONGER IF YOU HAVE A CAMPAIGN BUT WHATEVER!!!
IT TAKE ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO UPDATE THE FRONT PAGE EVERY DAY, LESS IF YOU SYNCHRONIZE IT WITH FACEBOOK (WHICH YOU CAN DO WITH THE "SOCIAL MEDIA STREAM" APP.
IF YOU RUN FOR OFFICE IN WORCESTER AND DON'T HAVE SOME SORT OF ACTIVE ONLINE PRESENCE YET... WELCOME TO THE HARD SELL.
IF YOU CAN BE BOTHERED TO GO TO PLANET FITNESS FOR 30 MINUTES A DAY OR EVEN STAND AT KELLEY SQUARE WITH SIGNS WHILE PEOPLE HONK HORNS AT YOU LIKE YOU'RE SOME SORT OF LOST PANDA CUB WHO WANDERED THERE BY ACCIDENT, YOU CAN UPDATE A WEBSITE LIKE THIS WHILE WAITING IN LINE AT DUNKIN' DONUTS OR AT A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT OR WHILE PRETENDING TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE AT COUNCIL MEETINGS.
YOU CAN EVEN DO THIS ONCE A WEEK. BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE A WEBSITE LIKE THIS SO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER VOTED BEFORE (LIKE THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHOSE VOTES WE PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT) HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO KNOW YOU AND WHAT YOU STAND FOR. IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE REALLY STUCK ON THIS, GUESS WHAT?? THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE A CAMPAIGN MANAGER!!! OR EVEN JUST THAT ONE NEPHEW WHO'S HEARD OF THE INTERNET!!!!!!! PUT 'EM TO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE INTERNET, TWO THINGS:
1) DON'T EVER GO SEARCHING FOR "LEMON PARTY" NO, REALLY. TRUST US THIS ONCE.
2) THINK OF PAGES LIKE THESE AS THE NEXT GENERATION'S LAWN SIGNS. THEY SERVE AS A QUICK, INEXPENSIVE (FREE IN THIS CASE) WAY OF GETTING A MESSAGE OUT THERE IN A PROFESSIONAL FASHION. SOME CITIZENS DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO PICK UP A NEWSPAPER, SO THIS MIGHT BE ALL WE EVER SEE OF YOUR CAMPAIGN.
EXPLOIT THAT OPPORTUNITY.
