The local Harris County Republican Party is enterting the 21st century and what better way to engage in technology then to bring their constiuents along for the ride.
They have scheduled “Facebook 101” seminars in order to train their base … so they could engage in the political arena on the internet.
In an email blast, Jared Woodfill stated:

Jackson, a former Litigation Attorney with McLeod, Alexander, Powel & Apffel, is not intimidated by technology and seems to understand the potential power it encompasses if utilized properly.
His campaign goals were technology heavy … but one look at how the former District Clerk handled business would inspire one thought … archaic … when it came to how technology was implemented in the office.
