Dear #FeelTheBern tweeters

I, in the campaign finance reform movement, have been tweeting you the past several days to try to generate synergy between you and the CFR movement.

Bernie tweeters are burgeoning by the day and are showing enormous enthusiasm.

Bernie is becoming the leading national spokesperson on behalf of "getting money out of politics."

MAYDAY.US, MoveToAmend, Represent.Us, WolfPac, Stamp Stampede, Take Back Our Republic, NHRebellion and other campaign finance reform organizations should seek synergy with Bernie.

I would like to put in a personal explanation of a couple of things to inform Bernie supporters.

On the front page of the MAYDAY.US website, on the right side, towards the bottom, there is this quotation from a Forbes magazine article:

“The mortal struggle at hand today is not between the right and the left. It is not between Republicans and Democrats. It is not between the Congress and the president. It is between us (currently outsiders to our own government) voters and the Washington Insiders.”

Many believe this struggle cannot be won unless there is unity of us voters.

The idea is to have unity of us voters first to win the struggle. After that, let us voters then proceed to work out differences that are bound to be present on important social and economic issues.

The unity of us voters needed to win the mortal struggle against Washington Insiders can be undermined if other issues are injected into the matter.

Thus, many in the CFR movement take CFR as the "first issue" confronting the country.

I hope Bernie supporters can find that acceptable in allowing synergy with the CFR movement.

I think "synergy" will benefit both Bernie and the CFR movement.

The CFR movement will benefit the more Bernie succeeds, and the more he publicizes the issue.

Bernie will benefit the more campaign finance reformers tout his candidacy and his stance on campaign finance reform.

The specific tactic I urged the past couple of days was to conjoin MAYDAY's focus on Congress, with following itineraries of Presidential candidates, and, when a Presidential candidate is in a state, tweeting to the DC legislative delegation from the state. See Bird-dogging in NH today and To: Iowa DC legislative delegation.

That tweeting should not be limited to the legislative delegation of the state and should be expanded to include other persons in the state.

Hopefully Bernie supporters will be willing to do some of the tweeting.

Campaign finance reformers need to be willing to do tweeting.

My suggested tactic would dovetail with MAYDAY's Congressional calling campaign and MAYDAY should support the tactic.

MAYDAY has not yet expressed support for the tactic.

It may be that MAYDAY is concerned that participating in "synergy" with Bernie's campaign presents a problem under Federal campaign finance "coordination" rules and that MAYDAY cannot express support for the tactic. If that is the case, individual MAYDAY supporters should know that and should not let the lack of MAYDAY's express support deter them from doing tweeting.

Other campaign reform organizations are focused on different paths for achieving campaign finance reform. These other organizations may nonetheless be willing to urge their supporters and followers to do tweeting.

EDIT: I sent the below tweet to the organizations inquiring whether they will support this.

@MAYDAYUS @movetoamend @RepresentDotUs @WolfPAChq @StampStampede @nhrebellion @takebackorg Will you support this? http://t.co/Z8Wm2g2Zg1
