This effort to end all the clock changing is going to get a major boost here as the time change thing happens yet again the first weekend of November.
I’ve got a detailed and thorough plan to get us out of the clock-changing madness, but I can’t do it alone.
Do you want to be able to tell your grandchildren that way back in the olden days the government made us change our clocks for no good reason twice per year, but that you were a part of the movement that ended the silliness? Yes? Then please contact me.
Here’s a short list of what I think we could use right off the bat. If you have some other skill you’d like to offer, please let me know, or just go for it.
- Project Management. If you write to me, I’ll send you the plan as it exists now. (We are keeping it under wraps to give an exclusive to a BIG media operation.) The plan is ambitious and requires coordination. We could use one really great person to manage this nationally and then one person in every state other than Arizona and Hawaii, where they already don’t change the clocks twice a year.
- Public Relations. At a high level, the strategy is now done for this thing, but as any PR pro knows, the strategy isn’t what makes a success, it’s the work. We could use at least 50, and probably more like 60 or 70 people to help get the word out about this effort in every state and region.
- State Lobbyists. We don’t need a lot of lobbying here, we have a secret weapon for that. We could use one good person in each state mostly to keep your ear to the ground and let us know about any opposition to our soon-to-be-revealed plan. If there is, we will be able to counter it, but we just need to know what’s going on.
- Federal Lobbyists. Again here we don’t need any hard lobbying, we just need eyes and ears, especially if you have any connections with the Department of Transportation. We do NOT need to lobby the U.S. Congress.
- Bloggers. I run a content writing service. I know that lots of great content makes all the difference in the world. If you want to blog on this site, just let me know and we’ll post what you’ve got. If you want to blog on your own site, go for it! We’ll link to it from here.
With all of these positions, there’s no money. There’s only the chance to make the world a better place.
Also there’s some glory. We’ll be very good about highlighting successes and showing what works to everyone, and the world will know that you were a key part of this unlikely, unusual campaign.
I’m no project manager, but I’ve taken some first small steps by creating a project board here. If a real project manager has a better idea, I’m all ears, but it seems like that’s as good a tool as any to keep track of our progress.
So, I ask you… What are you going to do to change the world?
Come and join this revolution!
