Alabamians Tweeting for Doug Jones for Senate: Tweeting to Republicans

TO: As many Alabama Republicans as we can tweet to:

We who are tweeting to you wish to persuade you to vote for Doug Jones.

We believe, if Roy Moore is elected United States Senator, he would increase the polarization of our country, and further impair our broken Congress from doing its job properly for the American people.

We believe Doug Jones is the opposite, he will contribute to reducing the polarization in Congress, and this will enable Congress to work better for all of us. (We understand this means compromising, and neither side will get only its way in Congress.)

We think it is critical that Alabama voters make known they wish to reject the extremes and want more centrist forces to prevail.

We appeal to Alabama Republicans to think about this before Dec. 12th, decide that they agree, and vote for Doug Jones on December 12th.

We are using Twitter to communicate this message as far and wide in Alabam as we can.

We are sending tweets to Alabamians regardless of political affiliation asking them to join with us, and send thousands of tweets to Alabama Republicans (and others).

To help us out in this effort, please follow Steps One and Two below.

Step One

Click on the below "Tweet here" link to send a tweet that says,

AL Republicans should vote for #DougJonesforSenate to reduce polarization and get Congress working properly. #ALSen #alpolitics http://dougjones4senate.blogspot.com/2017/11/tweeting-to-republicans.html #ALSen #alpolitics

(After you click on the below "Tweet here" link, you will see a preview of your tweet, and your tweet will not be sent until you click the "Tweet" button in the preview.)

Tweet here

Step Two
Send individual tweets to Twitter followers of Alabama Republican party organizations, which tweets have a link to this webpage. This will be to try to get recipients of tweets to come to this webpage, send their own tweet in Step One, and, after that, join in sending tweets to more Alabamans in this Step Two. The goal here to get a large number of "pyramiding" of tweets going to Alabama voters.

A suggested tweet message to send in this Step Two is:

Tweet for Alabama Republicans to vote for Doug Jones to reduce polarization in our country and get Congress working properly.

FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR TWEETING
A. General
This tweeting involves a non-standard use of Twitter, namely, the sending of large numbers of individually directed tweets to followers of other Twitter accounts (not your own followers).
A ground has been staked out with Twitter for this method of tweeting. See letter to Twitter @Support.
The object of this method of tweeting is to get a "pyramiding" of tweets going in Alabama.

B. How to send your tweets efficiently from laptops
In doing your tweeting, you are repetitively sending the same tweet message. This can be done very efficiently, at least on a laptop computer. Get the tweet message on your mouse clipboard, go to the follower list you are using for your tweeting, start with the first person on the list you want to tweet to, and do this:
1. Right click on person's Twitter name.
2. Choose "open in new tab"
3. Go to the new tab.
4. Click on the "Tweet to" button.
5. Paste the tweet message in the box.
6. Hit the "Tweet" button.
7. Close the tab, which takes you back to the list
8. Go on to next person, and repeat above steps.
You should be able to send 35 to 70 tweets in a half hour. Send as many tweets as you are willing to. Don't worry about any duplication that you think may arise.
