Show of hands. How many of you have forwarded a text message on your cell phone? Ever? Not the kind of text message that will curse you if you don't forward it to 12 of your closest friends in the next 12 seconds but, the kind of message that generally informs or entertains. Is your hand up?
Ok. Imagine it was election day in Indiana. You were registered with the Obama campaign online as a supporter. They had your cell phone number. And, still there was no text message that day urging you to support Barack Obama today at the polls. Imagine that you could forward this message, if in fact you had received it, to other voters in your state. Imagine if that text message was even biggied up a bit and it had a sound bite of Barack Obama and a video or photo of him from the huge get out the vote rally the nite before.
Yea. That would be good. It's time to turn our dreams into reality. Do what I did on election day. Make up your own text message and send it to everyone you know. Surprisingly, I got several back from (Yikes) Republicans saying that for the first time in their lives they had requested a Democrat ballot so that they could support Barack Obama. Hopefully the campaign has or will have a text message program running in the upcoming primaries and in the general election. Campaigning and elections are changing in America and it's time we take the message to where the people are and utilize the communications device we all touch the most...cell phones.
Text your support America...FWD...
