Then he posted stories about the race on the Daily Kos weblog community ( http://www.dailykos.com/ ).</p> <p>"My main message was a feeling of hope - that Dr. Wulsin has the ability to win and beat Jean Schmidt," Craig says. He included a link to his online donation page at the end of each message - and soon over 50 contributors had responded to his appeal.</p> <p>Now here's the challenge: Craig thinks every strong Wulsin supporter can do what he did.</p> <p>Start by setting up your own ActBlue account at https://secure.actblue.com/signup . (You don't have to worry about handling the contributions - the site will take care of all that for you.) Then, get people to your page: Send e-mails to friends and family, post announcements on websites and blogs, and be as creative as you can be!</p> <p>If you want to see how Craig did it, read one of his great blog entries here:<br /> http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/7/24/152329/859</p> <p>Don't want to start your own ActBlue group? Help Craig reach his goal of 100 contributors and $3,000!</p> <p>Visit http://www.actblue.com/page/beatjeanschmidt to contribute today. </p></blockquote> http://www.buckeyestateblog.com/vic_volunteer_of_the_week_craig_scheidler#comment District 2 Thu, 14 Sep 2006 10:29:03 -0700 staff 2786 at http://www.buckeyestateblog.com
