You should tweet into SC for Lessig

As you probably know, the Democratic National Party changed the rules and therefore absolutely prevented Larry Lessig from getting into the Democratic debates. See https://lessig2016.us/

This has caused Professor Lessig to suspend his campaign.

In a message conveying this to his supporters, Professor Lessig included a P.S., which said:
P.S. Would I return to the race if invited to the debate? OF COURSE! So please feel free to raise some hell by tweeting, forwarding this email to a friend or watching and sharing this 45-second video from supporter Jordan Leigh. I can’t help but believe the Democrats will do the right thing — eventually. Maybe you can make that happen.
Lessig volunteers are trying to raise some hell.

We have started with the South Carolina Democratic Party in connection with its First In The South Candidates Forum scheduled for this Friday. We are tweeting to South Carolina Democratic Party followers individually. The tweet we are sending says: 
Secretary Hillary Clinton is a DemocracyDenier. LetLessigDebate. https://lessig2016.us/
You can help us send these individual tweets. Get the above tweet message on your mouse clipboard, go to the South Carolina Democratic Party followers page, scroll down to a random place on the page and pick a follower to start with. Then:

1. Right click on person's Twitter name.
2. Choose "open in new tab"
3. Go to the new tab.
4. Click on the "Tweet to" button.
5. Paste the tweet message in the box.
6. Hit the "Tweet" button.
7. Close the tab, which takes you back to the list
8. Go on to next follower, and repeat above steps.

You should be able to send 30 to 40 tweets in a half hour. Send as many tweets as you are willing to. Don't worry about any duplication that may arise.

CAVEAT: Anyone tweeting should first read Spamming on Twitter and To Twitter @Support. I have not received any response from Twitter. I believe in the arguments on my side for what I am doing. I hope others do too. Anyone who does tweeting here needs to make their own decision regarding risk to the their Twitter account.
