Volunteering Information: How Even You Can Help!

If you are willing to donate some time and energy to this cause, we'd love to have you. Here's some general stuff that we need volunteers to do. If you think you can help, comment below and provide a link to your work. (If you need ftp access to forcongress.net, let me know.)

• We need photographers to take original, royalty-free, high resolution, stock images of a variety of things. American flags, schools, smiling families, worried families, doctors, nurses, students, etc.

• We need at least one web-designer to design a generic website that every candidate can use for their campaign. It doesn't need to be very complex, most campaign sites just have a home/blog, biography, issues, and donate section.

• We need several writers to develop talking-points relating to every "issue" imaginable. These talking points need to be of a variety of lengths: 10-13 words (for in-person speeches), 20-25 words (for Twitter and other comments), 30-50 words (for printed interviews), and 50-100 words (for web content).

• We need several videographers to make videos for youtube, urging people to "vote Independent in 2012," explaining why the two-party system is failing America.

• We also need people good with making online video versions of the "Run For It Guides" (on the sidebar). This could include walking through a ballot petition, how to approach people to get them to sign your petition, etc.

• If you see a candidate here running in your district, offer to help them circulate petitions (after they have filed their Statement of Origin...)

• If you work at a print shop, you can use your employee discount to help candidates print their brochures and forms for cheap.

If you want to help, don't just stand there, get started now! When you've finished, post a new thread in this subreddit and label it as [Resource]. If it's any good, I promise to use it in my own campaign - even if I end up as the only Redditor running, you will still have helped at least one person!
