How you can overwhelm Congress. Retweet
We have a new website feature for you!
We told you recently about a new technique we’re using to grow Downsize DC so that we can… 
Overwhelm Congress
The tactic is called Flash Actions. Thanks to our new Engagement Toolbox we can respond to hot-button issues almost instantly. And we can increase the pressure and recruitment that results using advertising that’s CHEAPER than anything we’ve seen. Over the last couple months, we’ve recruited 298 new subscribers to the Downsizer-Dispatch with this approach!
These Flash Actions are appearing on Facebook and Twitter, and they will be coming to other social media platforms soon. But perhaps you don’t do social media. We don’t want you to miss these campaigns so…
We’re listing our Flash Actions for you on a new page on our website.
It’s accessible from both the Menu and the footer of the DownsizeDC.org site. There, you’ll be able to…
- See our Flash Actions with the most recent listed at the top.
- Quickly pressure Congress or the President on any issue you deem important.
There are several recent campaigns listed there already. And new ones will come almost daily, and sometimes even twice in a day! That way…
You can hound Congress.
Call them to account.
Be a thorn in their side.
But there’s one more thing you need to know…
Flash Actions can recruit as many DC Downsizers as you want. Here’s how and why…
- The outreach cost to recruit a new member of the Downsize DC Army is significantly less than $2/each
- Each new subscriber has sent a Downsize DC letter to Congress, just like you do
- Historically, new subscribers have been worth $7 each in the twelve months following their sign-up, so this should allow us to accelerate our recruitment over time
Why is this important?
Because, given our new software and the advertising opportunities presented by social media, there’s no reason we can’t build an army so large that Congress cannot afford to ignore you. It’s simply a question of dollars and cents. So…
The question becomes, how fast do you want to grow the Downsize DC Army? We hope your answer is, “in a Flash.”
To realize that goal, make a contribution or start a monthly pledge that we’ll use to expand our advertising.
