I got this text message from the Obama campaign asking everyone to donate to the Red Cross:

Barack asks that you give to the Red Cross: give 5 dollars by texting GIVE to 24357 or give more by calling 1-800-435-7669 or at redcross.org/donate. Please fwd

Now this is how you mobilize people to get things done. Before he even considered running for President, Joel introduced me to his podcast that he put together. In it he gave good information on bills and voting in the Senate we needed to be aware of. He’s definitely on top of his technology game and understands the importance of how it can be used to reach a large mass of people.

Just as a side note, I will be posting on the other events over the past couple of days. This is some good stuff to debate, so be on the lookout.
