We will need to be on the offensive and perhaps antagonize Democrats or Republicans whichever has more registered voters in the district. One aspect of our strategy should our ability to use computer social network programs like e-mails, FaceBook and twitter. We will need to provide information to every registered Green, Decline to State and misc. voter. Voters will ask precinct workers for political designation based on my many years of working election precinct polls since only names and occupations will be on the ballot due to Proposition 14. Mailing will be important but if we can use these options to help lower the mailing price. We should add if those who are e-mailed, FB and etc., these oportunities. 1) A Y/N option to receive mailing or flyers, 2) Opportunity to help the campaign from canvassing, copying and forwarding mailing or flyers to donations, 3) Candidates should encourage folks they meet while campaigning and express support to take pictures or record support to be downloaded to computer social network system.

If Proposition 14 prevails then we must join forces with others to expose its problems. It may take an election or two to show problems concerning the lack of competition in the General Election, the pressure and expense of all out primary contests and the lower voter participation. Our objectives should be its removal or to mend it to a ranked-choice electoral system. We must show the folly and the change to make it better.
