ALABAMIANS TWEETING FOR #GUNSENSE

TO: As many Alabamians as we can tweet to:

We who are tweeting to you think Governor Ivey and the Alabama legislature are not responsive to the desire of a  majority of Alabamians for #gunsense legislation.

We want to build grassroots agitation about #gunsense that Governor Ivey and the Alabama legislature will not be able to ignore.

We want to do this by means of direct tweeting to fellow Alabamians.

If you want to lend a helping hand 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,

Help build powerful grassroots agitation about #gunsense that Governor Ivey and AL legislature cannot ignore.Please click on  https://al4gunsense.blogspot.com/2019/01/tweeting-for-gunsense.html #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.)

Step Two
Send individual tweets to other Alabamians, 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:

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.
