Today we have 500 flyers going out through UrbanUnderground in Milwaukee. We're also putting up posters on the UW campus. I have the word in to Badger Herald. Maurice is going to put up posters in the Urban League and some High Schools in Madison.

If anyone has ideas for getting the word out, please do.

Also...

Maurice had an interesting idea. As we work with some of these organizations such as Urban Undground, we might be able to help them understand what effect their activities are having. We could have the flyers tell people to send a specific string "Vote Underground" (example) to the number and then we would provide UrbanUndergound a report of how many people used the system and how many people are registered/vote because of it. That way they can know if their efforts are worthwhile. Each organization could ask for their specific string.

I thought it was a _really_ interesting idea.

That makes a lot of sense both for us to track influencers and for orgs to track activity levels.
