Thread: Urgent Call for ALIPAC Volunteers!

ALIPAC Members and Forum Users:

As many of you are aware, our goal here in the ALIPAC forums is not just to entertain, inform, and debate.

We have a bigger mission and part of that mission is to train activists that want to be effective in immigration reform, bypass the Old Guard Media, and reach out to others that share our concerns.

By working together, we have accomplished great things. This call for volunteers does not apply to those of you that are already deployed on primary missions.

We need the ALIPAC website and forums to serve as a home base of operations where we improve communication and cooperation among immigration reform groups and activists. I know that many of you have other interests and projects that you are working on, but we need some more volunteers that are willing to make ALIPAC their top focus.

Focus is important, we must focus more because right now we have hundreds of people out there all running in different directions.

Volunteers are needed to repeat what Shaw and others have been doing. Many of our activists do this from time to time, but Shaw was doing it daily and now he has taken a leave of absence to take care of some personal matters we need a new team.

Shaw was searching for and locating other forums and signing up to participate. Our new volunteers will need to work together to locate other forums around the US and sign up with different user names.

It is vital that these volunteers abide by each forums rules and take that even further by spending some time learning what is expected on other forums.

Then, as new articles are placed on the homepage of ALIPAC our volunteers need to post the article title, a brief exerpt or description of the article and then provide a link or coded URL into the article on the ALIPAC homepage.

Why is this important? Why not just post the article so others can read it?

This is why...

1. the more reads an article gets on the ALIPAC homepage the higher it will rise in visibility on the search engines. This will lead to more people being able to see this information than they would if we just posted articles on other forums.

2. We are 'coding' articles on the ALIPAC homepage so readers can click on keywords that lead them to more information on the topics on our site. Many Americans are starting to 'connect the dots' on the illegal immigration issue and we help them to do that here. The more a person learns of this problem, the more likely they are to become an activist or contributor.

3. The ALIPAC website platform provides users with much more than interesting and educational content. People that read the news here are on a platform where they can chose to get involved and contribute time and funds. They can visit these forums to learn more about activism or they can contribute to help us expand services, lobby lawmakers, and elect good candidates.

The number of Homepage article reads has fallen since Shaw had to take a break. We need to assemble a team of volunteers that are willing to take on this new mission and we can discuss this operation in this thread.

I hope that several of you will try to help ALIPAC and you nation in this way.

Count me in.

I already link directly to you from my own blog and I'm a guest writer on two others, where I also code in links to ALIPAC when I write on immigration issues. But in the meantime, I browse a LOT of websites and would be happy to leave little "droppings". It would only take a second, and I'm there anyways...

Sorry Heidi, your link doesn't work. Here's the correction:

I'm in.

Alright! That's two for our new team (Heidi & Butterbean). We need about two more trainees if we can get them. DonQ says he will participate and I'd like to start with 5.

DQ has another primary mission that we want to keep him focused on, but he could help us get this started on the right foot. I think we should call it 'Team Shaw' since he did such a great job with it at first and he should return in about a month.

We could use an experienced hand at forum posting or a newbie, either way we will learn the ropes together.

Thanks! I guess I didn't realize that link didn't work. I think I see now what I did wrong. Didn't close the url tag. I appreciate the correction.
