First draft of talking points for my presentation. Each slide is not a list of bullets but more of a statement to begin discussion.

1. Grassroots Campaigns @chrisfaulkner chris@gridironcommunications.com

2. Time + People + Money = Campaign

3. Do not substitute Fundraising meetings for “grassroots planning” meetings. It is actually harder to be “Grassroots” when you are broke.

4. Grassroots should equal lots and lots of small donors.If you have lots of small donors the yard sign locations will come on their own.

5. Does the candidate like people?

6. Data. Treat it well and you will get Lucky.

7. Volunteers want a “Social” experience when Volunteering Not a Gulag.

8. Yard signs, stickers and t-shirts can be productive…when used correctly.

9. “Social Media Campaigning” with no face-to-face is crap.

10. Real pictures of real people at real places matters…a lot.

11. Early voting, absentee and voter turnout. Execution matters more than flair.
