Buying the Revolution

https://gobling.wordpress.com/2016/03/19/buying-the-revolution/

"What is all that money buying? In simplest terms, the answer is a digital presence. Revolution Messaging is pricey but it offers everything from the all-important fundraising (online and off) to technical know-how to fast response applications. It bills itself as a full service digital campaign workhorse and details its services as such:

Revolution Messaging develops fully responsive custom technology. These new technologies provide our clients with tools to message thousands of supporters instantly and to more effectively engage them. Our development team designs and builds websites, landing pages and custom applications that work on all mobile phones, tablets and desktops. (SOURCE: Revolution Messaging)

With the preponderance of Bernie supporters clogging social media, the company is obviously effective in creating visibility. One hopes they are not also skilled in the development of troll accounts.

The Sanders campaign is paying big bucks for this internet campaign machine yet there is one thing it cannot do – scratch a box on a ballot. The next set of primaries is just around the corner. Will Revolution Messaging be worth its millions to the Sanders campaign?"

8. smells like a troll in training!

position.

2. "Sanders has accumulated $96,311,423 in “Receipts” (contributions).

However, running for the president’s job is costly – Bernie 2016 reports a whopping $81,649,471 in “Disbursements” (expenses)."

Since he doesn't have a path to the nomination Bernie could help some of the middle class by not taking any more of their money.

Here is one place there can be savings.

Tad Devine was paid $810,000 alone for the month of March from Sanders campaign.....

[Her Sister]

4. Am just not buying the purity spiel!

Not at all!!

[shenmue]

6. Me neither

[upaloopa]

7. viva la revolucion's big bucks

And not one cent for other Democrats


Bernie has large contributions that don't turn into wins

and large rallies that don't turn into votes

[pandr32]

15. No wonder his top staff does not want him to suspend his campaign

$810,000 for a single month's pay, and $23,000,000 of unaccounted for expenses looked into by the FEC.

[Surya Gayatri]

35. $96,311,423 in “Receipts”...$81,649,471 in “Disbursements”

Perfect modus operandi of a massive con game and manipulation.

Where the hell has all that money gone? The FEC is going to be VERY busy, I suspect.

Revolution Messaging Launches First of Its Kind “Text-to-Donate” technology for Bernie Sanders’ Presidential Campaign
First Presidential Campaign to Integrate Text Messaging with ActBlue Express to Allow Quicker Rapid Response Donations

Washington, DC — Today, full service digital firm Revolution Messaging is pleased to announce the launch of an innovative text-to-donate technology for the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. Powered by Revolution’s Revere Mobile platform, this integration enables supporters with ActBlue Express accounts to quickly donate to the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign via text messaging. With an increasing number of small-dollar contributions being made via a mobile device, and a large list of mobile subscribers, the Sanders campaign is now in a better position than any other campaign to take advantage of high leverage moments for fundraising.

Revolution Messaging’s integration with ActBlue Express drastically simplifies the mobile donation process to a simple text message asking if you would like to donate via your Express Account. This integration ties the supporter’s cell phone with their Express Pay account. Prior to this integration, SMS contributions were prohibitively expensive for campaigns because of exorbitant charges to the wireless bill. This technology cuts out extra steps, carriers costs, and pricey percentages not going to the campaign. Now, with just a few keystrokes, a donor can quickly contribute from their phone using their payment information already stored within ActBlue.

Already, Revolution Messaging and the Bernie Sanders campaign are deploying creative strategies to raise record contributions without a traditional fundraising team. This new technology will make it easier than ever for supporters to make quick, event-driven donations such as during debates or rallies. The campaign will now be able to quickly text supporters breaking news alerts and invite them to reply to donate.

“Our new ‘Text-to-donate’ technology will make it easier than ever for supporters to donate from their mobile phones,” said Revolution Messaging CEO Scott Goodstein. “We are proud to be changing the traditional political campaign playbook with the Bernie Sanders campaign — and we’re excited to add this first of its kind technology.”

The technology was launched last night with a text during the Republican debate.

33. They fucking lie! Obama did this shit in 2008 and 2012. I texted my monthly donations this way.

Lying muthafucka!

[cosmicone]

5. It is Tad Devine and Jeff Weaver's "revolution"

They have pocketed about $10 million from salaries and 15% on ad buys by the Sanders' campaign while poor people have donated their children's milk money to the "revolution"

That is their "Trickle Up" economics.

[Rose Siding]

12. Just read Devine's group made over 800k in one month

That ought to cloud up someone's rose colored glasses

[redstateblues]

9. That explains all the low post Bernie fanatics

[Her Sister]

10. yeah makes me suspicious!

[cosmicone]

13. ding ding ding n/t

[riversedge]

23. um...you probably are right. Not just on Du--but all over the net--including

comment posts. Many papers have just shut off the comment sections--to many newbies coming on with vile comments

[savalez]

32. Yeah but constant whining doesn't convert voters.

Does it? I don't know. I fail to see what they gain from being annoying.

[Cha]

11. Viva Trolls

[Thinkingabout]

14. Revolution, guess I am not interested

20. Bernie Sanders pays 16+ millions to internet supporters,

Yet the faithful claim that Elizabeth Warren's harassers on Facebook are Clinton operatives. Projection: it's not just a Republican sport anymore. Karl Rove must be so proud.

[LAS14]

21. This is very interesting, but...

... I think, since Obama used this company in 2008 (to good effect), we should find out how much the Clinton campaign has spent on this kind of effort. I'm sure a lot. It must be a necessity in this day and age. Does anyone know how to find that out?

[CajunBlazer]

22. Honest Question? I really don't know?

Could this effort be funding paid internet trolls? Opinions?

[LAS14]

24. Yeah, honest question. I'm a firm Hillary supporter.

But I do want us to stay away from unfair attacks. Don't know yet whether this if fair or unfair.

[DemonGoddess]

25. client page

doesn't show her campaign logo, nor anything else from her

[link:https://revolutionmessaging.com/clients/|

[LAS14]

27. OK, but it shows the DSCC and MoveOn.org,

and several other respectable groups that I recognize, so I think we should hold off until we know what expected campaign costs in this area are. I'm sure Hillary's campaign has the same sort of budget item.

Don't get me wrong. I'd love to find out that Bernie's surpassed normal expectations.

[DemonGoddess]

28. Went through her expenditures via FEC's website

nothing about this group in her expenditures anywhere.

[LAS14]

29. Right, but a budget item, using a different vendor?

The campaign has got to have this kind of activity. It's not necessarily bad. They manage the online funding, etc.

[DemonGoddess]

30. I'm sure she's using someone

that link was to expenditures. I was looking SPECIFICALLY for revolution messaging. They are not a digital arm for HRC

[KewlKat]

26. I wonder who the group "Friends of Bernie Sanders" are?

they gave him 1.5 M last June. special interest?

http://www.fec.gov/fecviewer/CandCmteTransaction.do

I didn't think he had any large donors?

What are Unitemized Individual Contributions? There are $92,598,033 in this category.

I'm going to go check out Hills and see how they compare.

31. KnR

Just because!

[Cha]

34. I can't wait until their fucking clogging the net is Done.

Thank you, HS~

[Her Sister]

36. Is this still going on? RM expensive! BS money down!

Any news on this?
