We all love Donald Trump. The Donald Trump thread on this forum has over a million views, and over twelve thousand posts.
But wouldn't it be great if there was a way to help Trump win, instead of just posting about him?
Not many people actually volunteer for campaigns, and for good reasons. If you want to volunteer to knock on doors, or put together yard signs, or even join a telephone bank, it's a big commitment. You have to drive down to wherever the campaign headquarters is. You have to find parking. You have to go through orientation. It can easily kill whole evenings, or even whole days. Since Trump fans tend to have jobs and social lives, it can be hard to find the time.
But now there's a new way you can help Make America Great again: TrumpTech's internet-based Callfire call bank. There's zero time commitment, and all you need is a phone and a computer.
Here's how it works:
1.) Trump's campaign will send you a link to a signup form via email. You'll give them some simple information about yourself, and set up a login and password.
2.) You'll use this login and password to go to a site called CallFire, which will ask you for your phone and give you a selection of calling campaigns to join. Campaigns in this context are things like, "Iowa - High Priority Reminders" or "New Hampshire Get Out the Vote!".
3.) You'll click on a campaign, and a second later you'll get a call on your cellphone. You'll pick up the phone and Callfire will automatically connect you to a potential voter.
4.) The callfire site will display a short, simple script for you to read. Here's a sample.
Hello, my name is Samuel and I'm a volunteer for Donald Trump.
Election day is this Wednesday, so when you go to the polls, remember that Donald Trump is the only candidate who has a gold-plated yacht and married a supermodel.
This call paid for by Donald J. Trump For President Inc. at http://www.donaldjtrump.com
5.) One of a few things will happen when you read this script. 70% of the time, the caller will hang up on you. 5% of the time, they'll get mad and swear at you. 20% of the time, they'll tell you how much they love the Donald. And 5% of the time, something fun will happen.
6.) You'll check a box on the website, saying whether it was a live call, an answering machine, or you got hung up on. Then you'll hit the "next call" button, and the system will automatically connect you to another voter.
A call takes about 30 seconds, maximum. And any time you want to stop, you can just hit the "End Session" button and log back in later. Only got 10 minutes a day? That's 20 calls you can make. Can't do anything one day because you're busy? No problem. There's zero commitment required. Try it and find out you don't like it? You don't have to ever do it again.
No gas costs, no driving, no dealing with any weirdos at a campaign HQ. It's the easiest method of volunteering imaginable.
Unfortunately, Trump's volunteer section on his website isn't quite where it needs to be, so if you try to volunteer via the website there's no guarantee they'll contact you back. If you're interested, send me a PM with your email address and I'll ask the campaign to send you a sign-up form. (It can be a burner email, and you don't need to give me any information about yourself beyond the email address.)
My favorite fun incident so far was a guy who seemed to think that Donald Trump was sitting right next to me, and was very insistent that I pass him a message. (He thought Trump was being too mean.) Since I didn't want to disappoint the guy, I told him that I would give Donald the next message the next time I saw him.
Lastly, I've been told that top callers will receive prizes of some sort. Maybe Trump hair gel? A signed copy of Art of the Deal? Who knows? (I don't get any prizes for recruiting you guys, I just thought it was something the rest of the forum would be interested in.)
