The California Republican Assembly sponsored a Tele-Townhall with State Seneator Tom McClintock last night.
What is a Tele-Townhall?? Basically it is a new way to communicate and get your message out. Instantly thousand of autodials can go out to a phone list and then patch through all the individuals to a conference call type event. Then our star, in this Tom McClintock” can discuss ideas and get feedback from the listeners. The listeners can ask questions.
It has a radio talk show kind of feel. It is much more personal than a “live chat”.
Last night’s call was for CRA members past and present. We had around 1500 connections. Those that weren’t home got a message referring them to the website.
Tom was in Saramento; I was in West Covina then later driving to Fullerton as the call progressed. While at home on the computer, the hosts could see a panel that included who wanted to ask questions and how many people were on the call at any given moment. It was pretty cool.
The focus was on joining CRA and Tom talked about stopping the Dutton Bill that gives the government $500 to manage on behalf of anybody whose parents can get to California. You can read about that on the FR front page.
CRAVictoryTEAM.com did a Tele-Townhall before the November elections that focused on voter turnout in one area of the state. That one featured over 10,000. This is a new technology that we will see more from.
