RE: It seems to me in this day and age of the Internet, you can get your message out without having to spend a ton of money.
The IRONY of our age is we have faster communication, better information dissemination, great technology to receive knowledge, YET, we have just as many if not MORE ignorant people.
Why? BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE JUST PLAIN LAZY. They’d rather be spoonfed information.
We have better eduational facilities here in the USA but our kids aren’t any better educated than those in say, China.
They don’t want to go through the rigours of thinking about the ramifications of say, the 9-9-9 plan. Instead, they prefer the 30 second sound byte.
*THAT* is why it is very expensive to run a campaign.
IT COSTS MORE to pay for an effective 30 second (even if deceptive) sound byte.
Cain could start answering questions and creating 30 second sound bytes that explain his position on any and all issues and then people like us could share those videos out through facebook and google + . If he has a youtube channel, you can start sharing those videos now. This would actually be better than a $20 donation because it would be sharing the message through a personal network and not mass marketing.
I think that his best bet would be a really good website that explains 999 in detail. (Like the FairTax website)
So many people have questions about the details and the answers aren’t out there.
With the DVR, many people aren’t watching commercials anyway. He’d get more traction with a viral video on YouTube that could be passed around.
