Heya everyone! The Sunflowers for Russ campaign is rolling right along, I just wanted to let y'all know a couple things.
Before I update you, here's the toll-free number again to order your sunflowers and flags to send to Sen. Russ Feingold: 1-800-560-0501.
You can also use their dedicated web form to leave your name and phone number, and Coast to Coast Flowers will call you back.
(more below)
Which brings me to the update... they tell me that they're getting quite a few emails from their website where it appears that people think they're ordering via email. YOU CAN ONLY ORDER BY PHONE. Do not send them emails with orders, they will not take email orders. PHONE ORDERS ONLY. So please call the 800-number or use the web form to leave your info so they can call you.
The other thing is that although MANY people said they were going to order, the orders have not really been coming in as expected. If you want this to be successful, we have to have a lot more volume or the whole thing could be cancelled. Now, I know this has only been in the works a few days and there's still a couple weeks to order (they are scheduled to be delivered April 24), but the initial response has been far below what you guys said you would do... PLEASE order right now AND spread the word!
Email everyone you can think of, including Mike Malloy, Bernie Ward, and other radio folks! PLEASE post to other websites and blogs such as Democratic Underground (where I don't yet have thread-starting ability), MYDD, and so on. Feel free to use this diary to organize and post places to spread the word about the Sunflowers campaign.
That's my update for today, I hope to have more news soon!
