Uphold America Reaches Masses with Internet and New Technology

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 08, 2008 – UpholdAmerica.org is taking tried and true principles used in business and applying them to political advocacy. Thus far, their efforts are paying off as they reach millions of the voting American public via the internet and the ever-expanding social media networks.

Even as the Presidential Election nears its’ last leg, UpholdAmerica.org continues to raise awareness on key political issues and raise the money needed to support their effort. Raising money from individual donors is made possible by the millions of people that are within the reach of UpholdAmerica.org and their rapidly growing network.

Uphold America is a non-profit 527 (IRS code) group, similar to the better known 501 non-profit, whose main purpose is political advocacy. Being a 527 group allows tax-exempt status for the organization as long as the group does not advocate for or against a specific candidate.

UpholdAmerica.org is making sure that key issues like the economy, health care and energy independence are not swept out of the voting public’s mind by the glitz and glamor of a Presidential Election. Reaching everyday people in ways that they already communicate is critical for UpholdAmerica.org to meet that goal.

Uphold America will also roll out a telephone campaign in which volunteers donate time to further propel their message. Based on the early number of volunteer sign-ups and monetary donations, UpholdAmerica.org is certain to reach millions more Americans via the telephone.

Says one top executive for the group, “Raising money to raise awareness on issues is at the core of what we do. Getting information to the voting public by using social networks and the internet was a logical step.”
