IdieGoGo Campaign to Raise $10,000 Is Now Live!

It’s time to push for a Democratic leadership that will effectively counter the Tea Party radicals!

Help us raise $10,000 to raise awareness about the need for a fresh Democratic leadership both in Congress and at the DNC headquarters. Right-wing radicals have been running around unchecked long enough. We need liberals who can figure out what to say, how to say it and how to get the American Public successfully on-board.

Disgruntled Liberals, Unite!

The reason why I started this campaign was because I got tired of liberals getting their butts handed to them by a bunch of right-wing nut-cases who would stop at nothing even if it meant driving the country off the cliff. However, I see a different reason for the success of the Tea Party over liberals. Most, including quite a few conservatives, realize that this rabidly-conservative branch of the GOP is nothing but trouble. The fault of letting them get away with it, then, lies with the Democratic Party and their inability to organize against such madness. It is the Democrats fault, because they are currently incapable to set goals, to rally behind them and effectively market them to the public.

The Goals

There are two main goals:

1. Bring about a complete change to whom is calling the shots in the Democratic Party and therefore to their strategy.
2. Put pressure on liberal lawmakers to find their courage or else.

We will keep the effort going through the end of the next election in 2016.

What This Effort Is NOT About

If you watch the video, you will notice that there are no specific objectives mentioned. There is a reason for that. You and the next person may have different priorities, but if you are a “lefty” you share some basic goals: equality, environment, choice, immigration, etc. What we need right now is to send a clear message to the Democratic Party – the only party willing to do something about these issues – to get their act together so that we may someone to vote for.

We are also not offering any perks in the form of t-shirts or the like. ALL monies will go toward spreading the idea and making the effort bigger. In the “Perks” section, we are listing a theoretical breakdown of what your money will buy and we are hoping that’s reward enough for you.

The amount being asked for may not seem very much if you think about the money being poured into political advertising these days. Luckily, this won’t be a traditional campaign. Firstly, we will be focusing solely on social media. A single person talking about a topic will outweigh the impact of an ad showing on a thousand TV screens. In addition, getting the message out about our desire for a new and effective Democratic leadership will seamlessly be rolled in with further fundraising. If done right (and admittedly – with some luck), this could in fact turn into an effort others would have to pay serious millions of dollars for upfront.

Why me? I am a liberal, a registered democrat and an internet marketing consultant with a decade of experience. I’m thoroughly motivated, because I’ve had enough of causes I regard as highly critical getting derailed, backtracked and outright killed by lunatics as the people whom enjoy my support do nothing more than appease them. I do social media for living and I will be strictly volunteering my time so all funds will go toward getting some movement on the issue.

Thank You,

What We Need & What You Get

We are raising $10,0000 through this campaign. Based on my experience and diligent research on this topic, this is the amount I estimate it will take to find a winning strategy that will allow the overall effort to keep going and bring enough money in to get even bigger overtime. We will be using Facebook and YouTube advertising to target the folks who are most likely to jump on the band wagon.

If the campaign brings in more, obviously that will be appreciated and – depending on how much more we are talking about – it will allow us explore more traditional avenues such as putting together a PR (public relations) team to try to get coverage in the news media.

What if the campaign brings in less then asked for? Firstly, I know there are many more people who have had enough and are ready for a fresh idea. However, if we can’t find enough of them to meet our goal, we will take whatever we can and still try to make things happen. It will be harder of course and the margin for error will be smaller, but it’s quite possible that even with less funds we could move forward.

The Impact

I realize that the goal is lofty, but something needs to get done. As I said earlier, it seems folks are ready for a fresh idea. One of the first things I did that I ran this idea by some random folks and all of them (!) found it intriguing to one degree or another. I was hoping something like that would happen. The turnout at the polls was the lowest in decades which I thought supported my theory.

The 2016 elections are two years away, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t have to move fast. Just because pretty much all liberals want change, it won’t mean that party die-hards won’t dig their heels in. There will inevitably be a period of infighting which will appear to benefit the right. We need to get this thing to reach critical mass as soon as possible, because the sooner the dust settles the sooner we can get back to being buddies again and focus on the common foe: right-wing radicals.

Risks & Challenges

While I’ve been doing internet marketing for quite some time, success – as always – is far from guaranteed. That’s true on two counts. I am confident that I can find a winning formula to grow this thing into something big, but there are just too many unknowns at this point. The other issue is even bigger. Even if this gets huge and we are all over the place, the Democratic Party has been around for a long time and as such may not respond well to pressure. We will have to move decisively and fast so the idea for a wholesale change at the top takes hold in other liberal groups which would make it much harder for the party to ignore.

Volunteers Needed!

We need folks to share the hell out of this campaign and – after the money has been raised – the posts and articles that will follow. We are looking to put together a team of dedicated volunteers who will pound the virtual pavement on behalf of the campaign to get the word out to as many like-minded people as possible. Should you decide to volunteer, tasks will be assigned to you on a regular basis, but only the amount you are willing to handle. Tasks will include liking and sharing of Facebook posts with friends and regularly contributing to liberal-oriented FB groups.

We will be setting up group phone calls (free of charge to you) to talk strategy, execute social media plans, assess progress, etc. on a regular basis. These events will be announced through the email list and the FDL FB group.
