!!e.g. distributed ballot guide!!

somewhat like a wiki

MoveON or similar organization could sponsor and use as marketing

mechanism

Marty Kearns - Green Media Toolshed - media contact database - is

taking this approach

on one campaign volunteers

- research by county, personalize by county

signup page - so you can engage volunteers early

http://www.themmob.org/lmca/adopt.html

http://www.themmob.org/lmca/faq.html

also did a schoolboard and superintendent database that could be

edit/ed/corrected by volunteers

would like to do it a on a citywide basis

parents could opt their kids out of military requirements and as a

side effect could adopt a schoolboard

another idea- http://www.copwatch.com/. tasering of students at UCLA

Andrew Rasjej - solicited pix of potholes in new york city -uploaded

to Flickr

different lifecycle of volunteerism - people would like to move into

the next thing after a campaign concludes, rather than cool their

heels

how do we build the base in off years?

campaign work has a clear tempo, and a finish line - first tuesday in

november - advocacy is much harder

Noel - coalitiion of bicyclists, civil libertarians, others engaging

physically with one another on an effort to protect civil liberties

in NYC from strictures proposed by NYPD

ActBlue lesson learned - hold training calls,e.g how do you do

fundraising? - to get people to move up the staircase

Care2 also thinks in terms of levels of engagement: from "send an

ecard'" to sign a petition to become an activist in your community

reinforced through a community where you see other examples -

surfacing success stories and feeding them back in

list of distributed organizing objectives as we go into 08 would be

valuable

candidate recruitment and support

down ballot candidates - nominate a friend for an elected position, e.g.

schoolboard

infuse in the culture the idea that anyone can run for anything

e.g.get 10 supporters together

could also be an issue advocacy model

for instance, volunteerforchange.org

populate googlemap wiht things that would be powerfully useful in Jan
