Social Media implements 😛 TAGEND

There are a ton of schedulers out there, most of them cost money.

For the purpose of this, I recommend Buffer, because it’s free, easy to use, and instinctive for those who aren’t that familiar with this stuff.

Other well known social media schedulers include HootSuite, SmarterQueue, MeetEdgar, TweetDeck. I use SmarterQueue for this blog, but I’m only going to recommend Buffer for something like this, because it’s so easy and it’s FREEEEEEE.

You can also schedule tweets and berths immediately from your Facebook or Twitter business pages.

The Hashtags Being Applied for This:

#SeeUsSchumer

#WhatWeNeed

Add one or both sets of to your tweets, in addition to providing instantly calling such other representatives( or 3 ).

The point of adding the hashtag is that others can search and find your tweet, and likewise, so that we can get enough momentum to tend and make this surge forth and “trend” on gab, which always makes people pay attention.

This is What To Do:

Look up your representatives’ titter treats squandering the tool from The Arc, create a list of the manages Opening hours the pdf of the tweets to spring from Opening hours Buffer or a social media planning tool. Schedule tweets to run all day, with short breaks throughout. Copy/paste and edit the tweets in, being sure to add your representatives’ controls, as well as the Big Guns( Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Kevin McCarthy ). You won’t be able to fit everyone in one tweet, so only add some representatives to some, and others to another tweet, and keep it all planned. Be sure to add one or both of the hashtags that are being used for this, #SeeUsSchumer and/ or #WhatWeNeed Make up a time to get on Twitter instantly. Find people who are also tweeting for this by searching the hashtags, #SeeUsSchumer and #WhatWeNeed and retweet their content. Don’t time “heart” it or like it; you need to actually retweet! And you can retweet with observation! Whatever; precisely keep it moving!
