Tomorrow is Election Day. With a few simple steps, you and I and our friends can drive the final nail into Prop Q’s coffin.

We Just Need to Get People Out to Vote!

We can do that by sending a series of messages, designed to go viral throughout today. Take the sample message show below. Modify the wording if you wish. But keep it short and simple. Next,  copy the message. Then you can easily paste it into a dozen or two emails, addressed to people in your Contacts. And also, please post it to your social media.

Here is a sample message that you could use:

Please be sure to vote tomorrow. Make yourself a note, or put it on your calendar. Vote “No” on City of Austin Proposition Q. Ignore the misleading ballot language. This is an unaffordable 20% property tax increase that will hurt homeowners, renters and small businesses. It will create a fresh $100 million slush fund every year, forever. See more information at AustinAffordability.com. (Be sure to include the sentence below).

Please take the time to post this message to your social media, and email it to as many of your friends as time allows.———————————
Hopefully, this strategy will cause the messages to multiply like a chain.
