The Yes We Can\/S\u00ed\u00ad Se Puede<\/a> video’s already got at least a million hits on YouTube — 566,000 for the one I linked to here, a couple more instances with 285,000 and 140,000, and then a long tail curve …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many people will watch it if we get it all over Facebook? I dunno, but it seems worth trying to find out. So after some consultation with a friend, late last night I put a message on the Obama discussion board<\/a> with these suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Here’s how you can help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) post it (using the “posted items” link in your applications list on the left hand side). This way, it’ll be on your profile and in your feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) tell your friends about it, and ask them to do the same<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) if you’re in any Obama groups on Facebook, please post these instructions in their discussion boards and wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) if you’ve got a blog, blog about it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I also send a handful of PMs, including one to a 20-person “friend list”, and put it in the One Million Strong for Obama group<\/a>. [In the process, I ran into a couple of people with complementary ideas — I’ll add those to the comments here.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within fifteen minutes, two people replied in the thread saying “done”. By the time I woke up this morning, there were ten replies in the two threads … as they say in election season, “early returns are promising”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So please: take a moment to get involved and help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
