New Tech Politics

George Altshuler ’10 writes on the College Dems Blog about Open Source Campaigning:

“The word “open source” gets thrown around a lot, but I really think its use is justifiable in this case. By calling voters from your home, dorm or apartment, thousands of people are shaping the campaign’s message in their own way. You can say what you want on the phone; in fact, the campaign encourages you to tell your own story. The campaign is in the hands of these volunteers: it is decentralized and open in an unprecedented way. My hunch is that this phenomenon is under-reported by the media and may have a lot to do with Obama’s surge in the polls…”

  1. I just wanted to follow up and mention just how easy it is for all of you to take part in this campaign from your dorm rooms. Go to Obama’s website and it’s really easy to figure out. Also, if you want some group solidarity, come to our nightly phonebanks next week 8-11 in Hillcrest Orchard. Finally, be sure to phone bank on Tuesday the 4th, the big get out the vote day.
