grassroots

Politics is all about people.  The technology of politics is about how they communicate and organize - and that technology is changing.

Things are changing in the way successful campaigns are organized because of new tools that make it easier for activists to become more active, which makes it more likely that they will get involved. 

There's an entire generation of voters that get its news online...and they're engaging in their political activity online as well.  Our party has to be there in a way that's useful to them, with the tools that they can use to impact the things they care about.

I want to work to get our national party to expand and strengthen the tools and resources that it makes available for our state and local organizations.  There is so much more we can do in terms of internet driven communications, organization and fundraising platforms - giving people the tools for successful grassroots activism on their own schedule.
