I would suggest HRC replicate t= his formula exactly, do her own small donor moneybomb aimed at women and the men who love them. Make the major focus either pay equity for women, or fig= ht back against the attacks against Planned Parenthood, or both, whichever dire= ction the campaign wants to focus, to elevate the issue-based profile of this. Organize a conference call for action on the HRC small donor moneybomb with=20= HRC student leaders at colleges and universities. Do the fundraising appeal to every woman potential small donor on every list= the campaign has access to. Organize a day of events on social media tied t= o the moneybomb that includes live and interactive participation from women a= t all levels, from entertainment and sports superstars to women CEO's, house= wives, student leaders, women who work in food pantries, blue collar women, teachers, waitr= esses, women at every economic level. Make this an organizing vehicle and a messaging vehicle as well as a small d= onor fundraising vehicle. Look at this the way I write about Sanders and social media, create an alter= nate universe to the negativity, attacks, that is inescapable for now on cable an= d network television. Build a base of small donors that creates recurring revenue for= the campaign, reduces dependence on large donors, generates positive PR tha= t even the mainstream media would have to report but which would reverberate throug= h women's networks on social media. To the degree the campaign can make a decision on this quickly, announce it o= n August 18, the 95th anniversary of the constitutional amendment granting wom= en the right to vote which was ratified August 18, 1920. The 96th anniversary w= ill occur August 18 after the convention and should be a theme of the conven= tion. The 100th anniversary will take place August 18, 2020 around the time= of the 2020 Democratic convention. The campaign needs creativity, innovative thinking, a reset and refresh. So= me things that are positive and exciting for those who support HRC. Take a close look= at my Bernie Sanders birthday moneybomb piece, not so much about Bernie, but about= the alternate universe social media creates that is parallel to the largely u= seless political coverage on television, and the potential to create an HRC-based s= ocial media alternate universe that moves fundraising beyond the Super-PAC mentali= ty alone that has a populist ring with a female emphasis rather than an insider= ring with an old politics message. You can take every paragraph in this Bernie focused piece and transform it i= nto an HRC-focused plan of action. http://observer.com/2015/08/the-great-bernie-sanders-birthday-moneybomb-is-c= oming/ Sent from my iPad=
