Campaign Tips
Tip: Collecting Stories PDF Print E-mail
Throughout your campaign, you will meet many wonderful people and here countless stories of issues they face daily. No one can be expected to remember everything and everyone you meet, so today's campaign quick tip suggests you start a stories file and talks about how that can help your speeches:
Telling interesting and illustrative stories will do more to improve your campaign speeches than just about anything else. Lay the ground work by starting a “story file.” Simply create a file where you can catalog interesting stories you come across. If you find one in a newspaper, tear it out and stick in your file. If someone tells you one at an event, jot down some notes and put them in your file. Before long you’ll have a “real life” story that makes the case for just about every issue on your campaign.
A story makes your issue come to life. You will be amazed at the improved response you get from your audience when you incorporate stories into your speeches.

Mission Statement

Democrat Unity is different from other Progressive communities. We emphasize a tight-knit group of bloggers, activists, candidates and political junkies working together in support of each others’ efforts, not a highly competitive, frequently contentious site where individual contributors are constantly trying to outdo each other. Democrat Unity is intended as a friendly site where we might not always agree, but we are always respectful of everyone’s point of view.

Democrat Unity is evolving as we add new members, and we are working to establish contributor meet ups, brainstorming sessions, and hands-on activity that go beyond writing a blog post or leaving comments on someone else’s post. We encourage and appreciate suggestions you might have and always appreciate it when contributors get the word out to other interested parties. For those wishing to take an active role in a new kind of political blogging experience, Democrat Unity is the site for you.
