SFO's rapid rise

I've prepared some documentation on the rapid organizing success of Sacramento for Obama (SFO), which has been able to produce its own website, t-shirts, media coverage, newsletter, etc. in only a few weeks. The file is in pdf format:

Documentation of Sacramento for Obama

Some observations on the success of SFO:

* Enthusiasm breeds enthusiasm. Get motivated and others will share your motivation and then the sparks fly.

* People like to come to fun campaign events. There will be a time for grueling-type campaigning particularly in the last couple of weeks before voting starts in your area, but for now all campaigning should be fun while still being productive.

* The media is interested in Barack Obama, so make every effort to contact them and cultivate relationships with them.

* Broadcast your group and events widely. Use local media, bulletin boards, craigslist, forums, meetings, calendars of events, etc. to publicize your stuff. Hold your meetings in public places rather than private homes. Wear your Obama t-shirts and campaign gear at these public meetings and events.

* Constantly engage and update your group, and stay active. Staying active, keeps people engaged and hones your performance.
