Let’s Get Gov. Mike Pence’s Attention Tomorrow via Twitter
Forecast: Twitter Storm Brewin' @GovPenceIN
Time for another Twitter rally. Governor Mike Pence (R-IN) will be in Dallas, TX tomorrow(8/29/14) at the Defending the American Dream Summit hosted by Americans for Prosperity. He is on the agenda tomorrow at 10:00a (Central Time) to be on a panel for a worship entitled “Wastewatchers – Tightening the Belt on Government Spending.”
Please plan on starting about 9:45a and we can go all morning, but the workshop will probably be finished around 11:15a (Central Time). So if we can blow up Twitter for an hour and a half that would be great. If you are not able to do this live if you use Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, Buffer or some other 3rd party Twitter app please schedule some Tweets during this time.
Our goal is to get his attention so he’ll be motivated to go back to Indiana and address the sloppy Common Core rebrand that was done there.
In all of your tweets if you would please make sure you are directing your tweet to him – @GovPenceIN and use two hashtags the first would be #DeserveBetter and then the conference hashtag is #Dream14. If you have enough space please also include #StopCommonCore. It’smore important to use his Twitter handle @GovPenceIN (otherwise his staff won’t see it) and #DeserveBetter though.
Here are some sample tweets.
