Update: Luke Messer for Congress
This blog reported that classmate Luke Messer had announced he’s running for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. The latest check of his Facebook group has him well over 500 members and counting!
I received the following instructions from Luke Messer for Congress HQ for those of you wanted to help with the social media groundswell:
Folks, the campaign for the GOP nomination in Indiana’s 5th district is starting to ratchet up! We are going to be using this group heavily (but we won’t be annoying!) to help get out the word about articles of interest, happenings in the campaign, events you can attend, and volunteer opportunities.
Before we begin that effort, however, we’d like for you to do Luke one favor… Can you please invite other folks from your friends list to join the group? We would like to do a membership push now, before things get hot and heavy. Have you never invited anyone to join a group? Instructions follow.
Thank you so much for joining our group, and for everything we know you’ll do in the future!
How to invite your friends to join the Luke Messer for Congress Group:
1. Open the group homepage: http://www.facebook.com/gr

4. Once you have selected all your friends, you can add a personal message at the bottom of the page if you’d like. Not feeling inspirational today? Feel free to cut and paste this one:
Hey! We finally have a chance to bring a new, dynamic type of leadership to Congress in Indiana’s 5th District! I’m supporting Luke Messer for Congress in that race. You should learn more about him and help support him by joining this group too! Thanks!
