Winning an Election with Facebook FANs

What a title for a blog entry and what kind of strategy is this?

Consider the following challenge.

Currently Sam Rohrer has a little over 5,000 fans.  Let’s say that at 100 per day, he will have 7,000 FANs by the week-end prior to the election.  Of these 7,000, we need to take 2,000 away because they are too young, out of state and/or not serious enough to take this challenge.  This leaves a balance of around 5,000.

We will likely need 500,000 people to win the primary election.  What a task we have ahead of us!  Now I know there are others out there who are Sam supporters who are not Facebook FANs, but let’s take this challenge anyway and lock things up.  Each of us must get only 100 people to make this happen.

Yesterday, my wife and I were out and we ran into two of her cousins at separate places.  Of course we challenged them to vote for Sam and both said “Sam who?”  Both couples were registered Republicans and both couples were “under the radar” types that never vote in primaries.  When the pollsters contact people, they are not on the list.  When they heard of what Sam the Man was all about, they were sold, as are most people.  Okay, that gives me 4 more added to my list of converts.  I am embarrassed to say I probably only have about 20 so far and I should have many more.

The challenge:  think about who is a possibility, likely registered Republican family, friend or acquaintance and give them a call, stop by or send them an email.  Encourage them to watch the Leadership Conference video and/or send them a Faith and Family brochure printed off the web site.  Keep a list of those you contacted and give them a call the day before the primary.

Now don’t be bashful or shy! The cause has never been greater and the time is slipping by.  Work like it all depends on you.

Does this sound like a plan or what?

Keep Looking Up!
