Advocacy Alerts: The Power of the Individual Collectively.

[Guest guest]

An idea in the making...

This is a simple idea, yet it can be used to contact elected officials

in the U.S and U.K concerning A.S.D issues. As well as organization

and other identities the " leaders " vote to do so.

The hope is to construct a private and spam free e-mail list endorsed

by leaders that builds up to 100+ members. These persons would sign up

understanding that when advocacy alerts happen, they follow the

instructions set forth and voted in by the leaders each time an alert

happens.

They then understand prior that they can send a simple short e-mail,

longer e-mails, snail mail and even faxes or leave a voice mail. This

I believe is the simplest, most cost effective and efficient advocacy

technique available to us.

Leaders would market the list to there members or display a link to

sign up on there websites, or even sign up themselves. When deemed

necessary one of the leaders initiates an advocacy alert vote, in how

the procedure takes place 70% must agree, though if under 70% do not

agree there is a chance for a second vote under the stipulation of a

Advo-alert re-write to do another vote.

As the list grows to more then 1,000 participants, so does the

effectiveness of the advocacy system at our disposal. Using it

properly and responsibly is a must.

Q. What makes a leader and who are the leaders?

A. Anyone that owns an A.S.D related website or communication platform

such as a community forum or discussion mailing list.
