Strategy and planningThis is a featured page

Strategy-in-progress for week of September 29. Last major update: Wednesday, 4:30 p.m. Pacific time. Current working assumption: Senate vote tonight, House on Friday.


Short-term priorities:
After the House vote
  • Another open letter, this one to Presidential candidates (and to the debate moderator?). Tentative thinking: launch on Monday 10/6, finish Monday 10/13, voting until Tuesday 10/14
  • Publicize on Facebook, twitter. Hope the web stays up.
Key metrics:
  • # of replies in threads, obviously
  • # of fans on Facebook page
  • # of links. [not sure how to compute this easily]
  • # of participatnts in open letter

How to get the word out?

Last week:
  • Alert press/blog contacts, Get FISA Right alums, "net movement" group that something might be happening here
  • Front page posts on Pam's House Blend, links, tweets; map how people are finding the group
  • Diaries, quick hits, comments, on Open Left
  • Viral growth with Facebook page, event
  • Friend and message people from FB page; test out response rate with "are you getting updates" thread.
  • Beta-test messaging and instructions

Sunday night/Monday morning
Other possibilities
  • update everybody in the earlier lists
  • digg the first major blog post, first MSM blog post, and first MSM articles -- and encourage people to comment on them. (ditto for reddit, Y! buzz)
  • contact people on pushback.org
  • try to sync up with CREDO's No blank check to Wall Street campaign, BigShitPile, etc.
    • Does anybody have contacts? Please send them this link and ask them to get in touch with us!

I have complied a similar site. www.nobailout.wetpaint.com has 3 goals.

1. The A-Z of the economic crisis. Where did it start? How did it get out of control? Why did Congress
ignore academia when they said the bail out WONT work?
2. Once we have isolated the culprits, list them. Get economic experts "ideal plan" to fix the economy.
(And I mean experts OUT SIDE of Wall St., K St, and Washington.
3. Organize national protests in HUGE #'s BEFORE they spend anymore $. We maybe has 6 weeks
before the 2nd $350 Billion is spent. I don't trust Obama on this one (even though I woked to elect him)
based off his actions over the last six weeks.

It's time to take back our future!
