Advocacy Alerts: The Power of the Individual Collectively.
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.
