Jon, I agree. It approaches spamming (without the intent of being obnoxious). I believe we will be more effective if we have a game plan with overall goals broken down to action items (tasks) that we can “check off” as we make progress. The biggest problem with these groups is that they have trouble converting intention into positive action.
I agree. (Simple, short, and sweet.) Informing the group that there is something, very simple to do, to maximize their voice at this time. This is important enough information to send? I think so.
Having said that, I do appreciate that people are burnt out on "politics" and, well, trouble and strife in general.
At some point we might want to separate the list in people who really only want to be notified of key moments such as this when their voice might be amplified, and people who have time for a higher level of involvement.

Thanks for explaining that Jon, I hadn´t looked at it like that. I know I have been deleating a lot of stuff since the election. |
I have a facebook account but don´t know what to do with it. --- On Mon, 11/24/08, Frank <plo...@att.net> wrote: |
