Trying to pull in some of the "wish I could help but don't have money/time" crowd.
If you support Rand Paul and you have a Facebook or Twitter account, it can really be as simple and quick as a minute or two to check off that list. Even if you don't have a large following or a lot of friends, it still helps. It's free for you, but you will be helping bring in more money for Rand.
Part of how Facebook determines whether to show our posts in someone's feed is based on how much engagement past posts have received. So every like, share, comment or time you click on a link helps... even if you don't necessarily have any Rand Paul friends. You will be telling Facebook the posts are worthy to show in other people's feed. And there are only one or two posts a day so it's not overwhelming.
Liking the page makes it more likely Facebook will suggest that page to other Rand supporters... and a higher number of likes increases the chances that someone new will like it themselves. Same for the event "going" numbers, and Twitter followers. The more popular something seems, the easier it is to join in.
Also, anyone that has a Facebook or Twitter account can join the Thunderclap in seconds.
This is all as quick and easy as voting in an online poll for Rand, and it will actually have a real direct impact on helping him.
To everyone that has been doing what I just listed, thank you.
