The GOP is taking the “game of politics” seriously these days and working hard to raise up the grassroots to Take Back our Government!  To that end the RNC sponsored “Blackboard to Blacktop:  Getting Ready to Run” a workshop designed to empower women to run for office, run a campaign or run a local county Republican Party.  Be assured, I’m not going to run for office or even assume to run a campaign . . . but I do want to do something about turning our country back to our roots!

 

Among the training sessions was one on networking and social media, something I dabble in on several sites but have mastered none. Among the social media was Twitter.  I have an account but never really did anything with it.  As I was listening to Martha Zoller one morning she was interviewing a candidate for Senate and I thought it was a good interview.  Determined to practice my Tweeting I pulled out my i-Phone and started a brief tweet practicing the hash tag move now that I knew what it meant. I pressed the tweet button and off it went. That afternoon I received notice that the candidate’s spouse had re-tweeted my tweet and later that night the candidate re-tweeted my tweet. “Hey, it worked!”

But that’s not all! A few days later I received a message from a reporter for the AJC asking for an interview with me regarding the candidate . . . and that, my friends, is the value of a single tweet!

Let’s Tweet!
