Alright friends, help me out!

We need to find a service we can use to sign up voters (and teaparty donors ;)) and automatically remind them to go to the polls for the primaries and gen election and any other major events. This could be a massively beneficial tool for the official campaign to use as well.

Simply get interested people to sign up to receive the text messages when they promise to vote for Dr. Paul, pledge to donate on a big day, etc.

I saw the study when it came out several weeks ago, and am trying to figure how/if it could be implemented with a PAC. It's a great idea to use, several companies are out there for the service, but like everything, it costs money to implement.

there is a website you can goto and send text messeges for free.

I'm not sure what site it is but I think you can send a mass text message

we've been collecting cell numbers of all our young supporters in the area (even those expressing just a passing interest) and we're planning to manually text them all 2 weeks prior to our voter reg deadline and the evening before our primary.

my phone lets me text a ton of numbers in a clip, so i was just gonna do that.
