This Thursday

BY | Tuesday, November 13 2007

Dear Presidential,

The campaign has changed.

You've probably noticed the shift. Our opponents are on the attack. But while they're attacking Hillary, she's attacking the problems facing America.

So let's stand up for Hillary today, just like she'll stand up for us every single day in the White House. This Thursday night, November 15, we're going to send Hillary to the next Democratic debate with a massive show of support by raising $1 million by the time she walks onto the stage.

We've seen a big surge of support in the last few days -- let's build on that momentum.

Click here to contribute and help us reach $1 million by the time Hillary starts debating at 8 p.m. EST Thursday.

I know that's a big goal. And we don't have a lot of time to reach it. But I know you, and I know what you're capable of. I was there when Hillary launched her campaign, and I saw the outpouring of support then. I've seen it time and again throughout this campaign as you have stood up for Hillary, helping us reach -- and surpass -- one million supporters and committing to volunteer over one million hours.

Now we need your help to reach $1 million by 8 p.m. EST Thursday, the night of the next debate.

Click here to contribute and help us reach our goal.

Show Hillary that you are standing there with her, making history.

Thank you for all that you do.

Sincerely,

Patti Solis Doyle
Campaign Manager
Hillary for President

What Twitter Won't Tell You About the Election

A new study released on Tuesday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press on Tuesday offers the opportunity to get real about what the political conversation on Twitter and Facebook can — or can't — tell you about the progression of the 2012 political campaign. Pew has found that even among users of Twitter and Facebook, a paltry percentage of people use social networks to get news about politics: Only 24 percent of Twitter users in the sample and 25 percent of Facebook users said they "sometimes" got campaign news through that network, while a full 40 percent of Twitter users in the sample and 46 percent of other social media users reported "never" getting campaign news through either Twitter or Facebook.

Navigating New York's "Road Map for the Digital City," One Year In

In May 2011, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg revealed a "Road Map for the Digital City," a plan to use technology to make city government more and participatory, and to leverage the city's tech sector for economic and civic gains.

New York City Chief Digital Officer Rachel Sterne will join our editorial director, Micah Sifry, on a conference call this Friday afternoon to discuss the progress on that road map so far. The call is free and open to anyone to join. You can sign up here.

Pete Hoekstra's Campaign Website's "Offensive" Source Code Changed After Outcry

As if "chop suey fonts" and obvious graphic allusions to the stereotype of the Chinese as the Yellow Peril weren't controversial enough, the group that created an incendiary microsite for former Rep. Pete Hoekstra's campaign has managed to further fan the flames with what it's calling a mistake in its code. GO

Fidel Castro Loves the Internet

“The Internet is a revolutionary instrument that permits the receiving and transmission of ideas, in both directions, that is something we should know how to use,” Fidel Castro told a crowd of supporters on Feb. 4, according to the state-owned Cuban newspaper Granma International. Castro, who made his first public appearance since April 2011, launched his two-volume memoir, “Guerilla of Time,” and took the opportunity to discuss issues of importance to him. Earlier this week, Miranda Neubauer reported that one of these topics was the need for the Internet. Castro has been a proponent of the Internet as a tool for the exchange of ideas since 2003, but the average Cuban citizen faces great difficulty getting online. GO

White House CTO Aneesh Chopra's Exit Interview

On his way out of the White House and back to Virginia, where he is expected to run for public office — but will neither confirm or deny that's the plan — Aneesh Chopra describes the shape of the post he pioneered as the country's first-ever chief technology officer.

As a result of Chopra's interview with The Atlantic's tech/politics correspondent, Nancy Scola, there's now a public record of what this first-ever CTO thinks the CTO's job actually is ("On any topic that is a priority for the president, my role is evaluate how technology, data, and innovation can advance, support, and improve upon those strategies," among other things) and how it might be improved.
