The list of liberty candidates thread (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?365683-List-of-Liberty-minded-Candidates-for-US-Congress/) here at RPF got me brainstorming. I've created a R3VOLUTION subreddit and brought on some of the well known mods of other liberty and republican subreddits as a mod team. All Paul supporters, of course. I moderate both the republican and libertarian subreddits, and between the mod team as a whole who are the conservative, ronpaul, and other subreddit mods, we have around 100k subscribers.
There will be local candidate moneybombs cross promoted in our subreddits, and all manner of grassroots assistance available for local candidates (like AMA threads, a focus on a candidate of the week, and things of that nature). We plan on cross-promoting across our subreddits, and will do a "launch" in /r/libertarian, /r/ronpaul, /r/republican, /r/conservative, /r/randpaul, /r/justinamash and other subreddits simultaneously on Monday morning. Why the announcement here today you ask?
Well, redditors reading know one of the first things people do when visiting a subreddit they haven't seen is look at the subscriber number, and the content, and decide whether they want to subscribe. We are going to work over the weekend to have some content there (aside from the candidate lists and FAQ and things we've already done). What we need from you here is for you to subscribe to the subreddit, so we can get at least 20 or so people subbed before we even launch. After launch, we hope to start getting into the hundreds and thousands of subscribers, of course, but for now we need *you* crossover readers of reddit and RPF to sub in the meantime, as a sort of hand up for when we do the big launch on Monday.
Subscribe, add to the local candidates thread if you want to, but please don't crosspost into other subreddits yet. Hopefully, we can work to bring a lot of redditors who never come to RPF into our fold here, via a subreddit that is accessible to them. Here is the subreddit, and thanks for you assistance in what should become a rather large project:
