Re: Politically Minded Writers

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the mass mailing (you're all in the BCC list so your emails aren't exposed), but there was such an overwhelming response to my ad I thought this would be much more efficient. Here's the scoop on the gig(s).

My site is called FREEDOMSPEAKS.COM, and it's a political social network. The basic premise is that members sign up and they are instantly told who represents them in government (president, senators, congress, etc.). The site then gives them the opportunity to write a letter to one or all of them (they can select which official they want their letter to go to). The letters are then posted to the site and other members can comment on them (agree/disagree/don't care). So far the response has been pretty good, and I've gotten some pretty good write-ups on some major blogs (see below).

As per the post, your job will be to write a letter to your elected official(s). Along with that letter, you will need to write at least three comments on any of the other letters. For this I will pay you $25.00 via PayPal. You can get paid for up to three (3) letters per week (provided they have been approved by me).

IMPORTANT! - Before any writer is paid, the letter MUST be pre-approved by myself. Simply submit your letter to me at this email address. Once approved, you will then need to register and create/send your letter (and write your comments) as a typical member would. Once I've confirmed the letter and comments, I'll get you your payment via PayPal within the hour. The topics I would like letters created on are below. Remember, the content you are writing needs to be written as if you are writing a letter to an elected official. Please note: These letters will actually get sent via email and fax to whomever you select.

Topics (assigned on a first come / first serve basis - but there can be more than one letter per topic).

1. Abortion - For/Against
Iraq Conflict - For/Against
Stem Cell Research - For/Against
Social Security Reform - For/Against
Universal Health Care - For/Against
Affirmative Action - For/Against
Gay Marriage - For
National Debt - For/Against
Outsourcing - For/Against
Stem Cell Research - For/Against
Amnesty - For/Against
Border Security - For/Against
Immigration Reform - For/Against
Taxation - For/Against
Homelessness - Ideas for combatting the issue
Credit Crunch - Assistance for Mortgages/No Assistance

Feel free to email about a topic you are interested in if it is not in the list

Take care,

P.S. If you'd like to signup on the site outside of getting paid for it, I wouldn't be offended. :) Same goes for writing letters. Here are the write-ups:
