Kicking for visibility. Let's go Miami-Dade! Let's go, Democrats! OrlandoDem2 Oct 2020 #3

How does it work? I've never done something like this before. W_HAMILTON Oct 2020 #4

It's very easy. I've text banked and everything is done by computer. OrlandoDem2 Oct 2020 #5

I'm in the webpage/app thing to send the texts, but it's still greyed out for me -- any help? W_HAMILTON Oct 2020 #6

We can do this together and push FL over the finish line. Deliver Florida to Biden/Harris!

Point, click, etc.

The messages are all canned. You really don’t need to do too much thinking.

Not sure if they just haven't "turned it on" yet or what...

EDIT: Never mind, I checked my email and it added a new "instance" where it lets me send the texts. How many texts do you do send at once? It seems to let me send as many as I can click, but I'm not sure if I should only do a certain amount at a time in case I need to respond to a bunch of the ones I sent? What do you think?

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
