'Networking' your inner circle of friends, family for Dem voter turnout.

Think about it like this, if each and every one of us can convince at least 5 people from our inner circle to show up on election day and vote for Democrats, Dems will win many more races across America in November.

Here's how it works, and its quite simple..

When you network 5 loved ones/friends, convince them to also do their own networking, ask them to network their own inner circle and try to get at least 5 people to turn out and vote for Dems, and also to network their inner circle for at least 5 people to vote for Dems.

Your network could eventually grow to thousands of potential voters. For a rather minimal amount of time, your network will continue to grow by word of mouth long after you convince a few people to do the same. Dems networking our families and friends to vote for Dems. In return, they keep the GOTV campaign rolling and growing by networking their circles.

I know I'm repeating things over and over, but do you now see how this network can grow, almost by itself and it keeps growing until election day. I think this is a great way to increase GOTV and actual turn out on election day, for Dems.

5 may sound like a low-ball number and I agree, it is. But we have to start somewhere. If you can get 5, can you do 10, 20 or more? The more the merrier.

GOTV has to start somewhere. Our own inner circle is a great starting point.

That's grass roots organizing in 2014. With the aid of modern tech, networking is at our fingertips nowadays.

For a minimal investment of our time, we can start a GOTV network that keeps growing after YOU'VE done your work. That's a great return on the investment of you're valuable time.

Your ideas are great, but what are some issues the party/politicians are running on that can help get people to the polls?
