#Tweet4Lessig

I have been assiduously promoting tweeting campaigns in order to advance the cause of campaign finance reform. See, e.g., Proposed messaging plan re: Congress; The tweeting plan; FL 17th and 18th Cong'l districts picked.

Lawrence Lessig  (@lessig) has announced that he is seeking to raise $1,000,000 by Labor Day, to be used to mount a credible campaign in the Democratic Presidential Primary. (For more info, see Lessig for President.) This announcement leads me to add to my tweeting plan a component of #Tweet4Lessig.

There is currently in use the hashtag #lessig2016. That hashtag can be used in the tweeting campaign, and also #Tweet4Lessig might be used for tweets specifically soliciting participation in the tweeting campaign.

Let's see how #Tweet4Lessig develops.

EDIT: One thing I have been doing is tweeting to Sanders supporters, asking them what they think about the Lessig candidacy. In my tweets, I have been giving a link to http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/bernie-sanders-larry-lessig-2016-campaign-121280.html. What are your thoughts about this?


EDIT 9/6/15

Proposal for Lessig2016 now that the $1,000,000 has been raised. The proposal is to be implemented, and it is explicated, by means of a new webpage on the Lessig2016 website. A suggestion for the new webpage is set forth below. The key to initiating the proposal is there being volunteers who are willing to do tweeting. As few as three or four could suffice to begin with.

[Suggestion for new webpage] 

WE NEED PUBLIC MOBILIZATION TO #FixDemocracyFirst

As explained in The Plan, Larry Lessig is running for President to obtain a mandate to get Congress to pass the Citizens Equality Act of 2017.
To achieve this goal will require massive public mobilization, and particularly pressure on Congress needs to start immediately. We need as many supporters as we can get to help make this happen.
This webpage is the initiation of a Twitter campaign to begin to instigate public mobilization, and to pressure Congress.
We cannot start this right away on a nationwide basis, and we will start by concentrating on selected smaller geographic areas first.
In line with our goal to pressure Congress, we are going to proceed by selecting Congressional districts to target.
Our objective is to publicize in the districts as much as we can our broken Congress, and the reason we think it is broken. We want to draw in Republicans and independents to our public mobilization, as well as Democrats.
We believe doing this will help coalesce and grow the public mobilization that is needed for our campaign to succeed.
As we pick Congressional districts to target, our volunteers will proceed to do massive tweeting into the districts. Their tweets will give links to this webpage. Our volunteers will send individual tweets to Twitter follower lists on selected Twitter accounts in the Congressional district and using selected hastags specially in use in the district. Our volunteers will ask voters in the Congressional district to send their own tweets to the Representative for the district and also to the state's Senators in Congress. Our volunteers will seek to recruit other Twitter users in the Congressional districts to send tweets in a similar fashion.
To focus the tweeting, we will demand that the Representatives for the Congressional districts and the state's Senators in Congress state publicly that the country and Congress must #FixDemocracyFirst.
A variety of tweet messages will be employed.
As examples, tweets to the Representatives and Senators in Congress might say:

Dear @_______, you  need to state publicly that the country and Congress must #FixDemocracyFirst. [link to this webpage.]

Tweets to other persons in the district might say:

Tweet this to your Rep. in Congress: "@___ you  need to state publicly that the country and Congress must #FixDemocracyFirst. [link to this webpage.]

Please help us instigate the massive public mobilization that is going to be needed to #FixDemocracyFirst.
