Talk About Whatever You Want

Hey BJ Peeps,

You guys keep coming through, so let’s see if some of you can help out today.

Republicans are attacking democracy on every front,
so we have to fight back with every tool we have.

Here’s the TINY ASK for today.  Make a list every high school senior you know.

– Ask them to register to vote.  Offer to help them get registered.

– Make a list of every educator, administrator, parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle and coach you know, and talk to them, let them know about this campaign.

– Read about the new campaign: Class of 2022 Ready to Vote Challenge.  They will even send you 10 free stickers.

3 million high school seniors become eligible to vote every year, but less than 20% – just over half a million – register to vote.

If we double that this year, that’s 500,000 more young people who could vote.

I’m sure all the Young Republicans are already registered; can we  do our part to help balance that out?

?

Oh, and big thanks to everyone who followed us @Actual_Citizens on twitter!

Our twitter name is @Actual_Citizens (note the “s”)

If you tweet or retweet or quote tweet related related to our efforts, it’s super helpful if you use this hashtag in every tweet:

#ActualCitizensUnited

And if you’re willing, please jump onto the “If Republicans…” twitter effort.

I started it off with:  If Republicans cared so much about freedom, they wouldn’t try so hard to restrict it.

One of the great replies was: If republicans really cared about freedom of speech, they wouldn’t call the cops on sidewalk chalk.

I loved that one!

Just please remember 2 things:

1) use the #IfRepublicans hashtag along with #ActualCitizensUnited

2) please don’t reference Brandon or pedophiles are anything else that is part of Republican propaganda, that just pushes those things higher on the twitter algorithm and ensures that their lies get promoted.

If you have any questions about our social media initiative, just ask!

Otherwise, totally open thread.

Hey BJ Peeps,

You guys totally came through the last three times, so let’s see if some of you can help out today.

I assume that most of you have seen or heard talk of the Join the Fight! project some of us are working on, or at least have heard about one part of the project – our Social Media Initiative.  If not, please click the link above.

Big thanks to everyone who followed us @Actual_Citizens on twitter!  Extra thanks to anyone who not only followed us, but also liked us, retweeted one of our tweets, or quote tweeted us.  And a big thanks to everyone wrote a 35-second elevator pitch yesterday.

Here’s the TINY ASK for today.  Use this tweet from Nancy Pelosi, and come up with your own:

If Republicans were “good on X”, then …  

or

If Republicans “cared about X” then…

If Republicans were "good on the economy," the last 3 Democratic Presidents that followed one wouldn't have had to:

?Drag us out of recession — Clinton
?Enact emergency Recovery aid — Obama
?Rescue our economy from freefall — Biden

End this myth once and for all. Pass it on!

— Nancy Pelosi (@TeamPelosi) April 23, 2022

We want something short and sweet, just like the tweet from Nancy SMASH. 

Please let us know what you would put in a tweet modeled after the one above.

On whatever issues are most important to you.  You can, of course, submit more than one!

I would like to turn these into a bunch of tweets that we can post with our hashtag #ActualCitizensUnited and the hashtag #IfRepublicans

This really is a totally Open thread.

Hey BJ Peeps,

You guys totally came through the first two times, so let’s see if some of you can help out today.

I assume that most of you have seen or heard talk of the Join the Fight! project some of us are working on, or at least have heard about one part of the project – our Social Media Initiative.  If not, please click the link above.

Big thanks to everyone who followed us @Actual_Citizens on twitter!  Extra thanks to anyone who not only followed us, but also liked us, retweeted one of our tweets, or quote tweeted us.  And a big thanks to everyone who let us know who was missing on our social media list; boy some of those omissions were kind of embarrassing!

Here’s the TINY ASK for today.  If you had 15-35 seconds to communicate what is most important to you about this election, what would you say?

35 seconds is about 75 words, give or take.  We’re not gonna count your words, so that’s just a rule of thumb.  

What would you say about what’s important to you and what’s at stake?  

You can be serious, sarcastic, snarky, angry, outraged, terrified, or gloriously happy with what Biden has accomplished, and anything in between.

Please let us know what you would say.

We want to take what is most important to you, what you think is most at stake in the election, and turn these into 15-35 second TikTok videos. 

This really is a totally Open thread.

Hey BJ Peeps,

Big thanks to everyone who followed us yesterday @Actual_Citizens on twitter!  Extra thanks to anyone who not only followed us, but also liked us, double-thanks to everyone who retweeted one of our tweets, and triple-thanks to anyone who quote tweeted us.

Fun fact: Most of you may know this, but I did not until recently.  In terms of the twitter algorithm which controls how much of what is seen on twitter… to use an analogy… a “like’ is maybe worth a penny, a retweet is worth a dime, and a “quote tweet” is worth a quarter.  (A quote tweet is where you add your comment to the tweet you are retweeting.)

So if you followed us yesterday but didn’t “like” or retweet, you can always retweet or quote tweet the tweet from yesterday, if you’re willing.

Here’s the TINY ASK for today.  Can you tell us who else should be on the social media contact list?
