Getting the Message Out

As an amateur 'Union Activist', it's important that you get your message out there to as many people as possible if you really want to make a difference. Posting in sites like this and my own forums and information website and sending 'letters to the editors' barely scratch the surface of reaching a large audience for your opinions, etc. If you really want to make a difference, it's going take going online with your own website. With all the new programs and technology out there, it's not all that difficult to do.

We can talk about the pro's and con's of lots of things. Things like 'open-source' (free) vs. fully licensed programs and the list can go on and on. But, let's just get started first.

Just recently, I became aware of a great way to get started without any obligations whatsoever to anyone and it's all free courtesy of Bill Gates and his flagship, Microsoft. Go here => http://officelive.microsoft.com/default.aspx to check it out. If you start out with the 'Basic' bottom-tier plan, it will never cost you a nickel and you can always upgrade as you see the need to.

There's lots of people (myself included) that will help you get started free of charge.

The important thing is to actually get started in the first place. We can never have too many personal websites parsing all the information that's out there. Good luck and be sure and post your new website address here so that we can help you get started. The future of organized labor is in the hands of the rank and file, let's not drop the ball, huh? :)
