Joe Trippi – heralded on the cover of The New Republic as the man who “reinvented campaigning” – is widely recognized as one of America’s leading and most influential political strategists. In 2004 he won Wired Magazine’s Rave Award for his use of innovative technology in politics. Leading Internet companies, from Yahoo!, to Google, to Bebo invite him to speak to their employees and affiliates. Trippi is the author of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Democracy, the Internet and the Overthrow of Everything the story of how his revolutionary use of the Internet combined with an impassioned, contagious desire to overturn politics-as-usual grew into a national grassroots movement – and changed the face of American politics forever. He is currently consulting on the Racine for Governor campaign.
Peter,
There are lots of opportunities to meet me with no requirement for a contribution. I was at Green Drinks a few weeks ago in Montpelier, as well as at a forum in Montpelier, and today, I was at the Barre Farmers Market, and at LACE tonight, as well as the Middlebury Farmers Market this morning and at the Lincoln Peak Vineyard for lunch. You can check out my calendar at http://dougracine.com/calendar to find more opportunities. Joe offered to do a fundraiser for me, and I took him up on the offer. Thanks for the feedback, and I hope to see you at one of the events. I’m doing my best to meet as many Vermonters as possible during this campaign. – Doug
in that he’s got to raise some money. Heck, even just getting to the free meet and greets takes money.
Would it be nice to have it otherwise? Sure.
The truly great thing about this is one doesn’t have to attend if one doesn’t want or can’t afford to … as Doug writes there have been and will be plenty of no cost to the voter get togethers.
