[CFR-Announce] We need you! Please join the online campaign for
Petition 53 (even if you have already signed)
Oregon Campaign Finance Reform
lists at oreg.org
Tue May 4 04:53:21 CDT 2004
This involves all supporters of Petition 53 (for campaign finance reform
in Oregon), even if you have already signed the petition.
We are using an online campaign system to gather signatures. Here's how
it works: when you join the campaign, you agree to get two more people
to join the campaign. (This means that they agree to get two more
people to join, and those two people agree to get two more, and so
forth.) This results in an exponential growth of the campaign, so that
in a short while (in theory) all the online Oregonians who want campaign
finance reform will have joined.
Everyone who joins the campaign agrees to sign the petition if they
haven't already. You can print out a copy on the campaign website and
send it in, even with just one signature (plus you have to sign it again
as gatherer, there are instructions). The petition prints out with your
name and address already filled in. If you already have signed the
petition, joining the campaign simply means entering your name and email
into the website, and finding two more people to join (again, they can
be people who have already signed).
Once you join the campaign, the system will automatically remind you
every three days to get your two more people (you can opt out at any
time). The system will generate a link for you to give to your friends
and associates. When they join by clicking on that link, it will know
you recruited those people and stop sending reminders.
One of the cool things about this is that the system will automatically
track the number of people who have signed up because of you, the people
you signed up, the people they signed up, and so forth. You could be
indirectly responsible for thousands of signatures!
Here's the link you should click on. Remember that this isn't the same
as the link to send to your friends -- the system will give you that.

Thanks again for all your help! If you have any trouble with the
system, please let me know. My email is also on the website. (The
campaign system is a part of the Peaceful Nation website, a global
democracy project. You don't have to join the Peaceful Nation to join
the campaign. If you would like to start your own campaign on the
peaceful nation website, drop me an email.)
