I'm Ben Donahower. I've been on the campaign trail for more than a decade working professionally on campaigns from state Representative to president and volunteering on countless others. I'm on a mission to take the confusion out of yard signs, so that you order the signs that you need to get the job done.

Have you found any other alternatives? I still miss formulists - a lot! And I haven't been happy with SocialBro.

@amattix It's against the law in OK to post signs on highways http://www.campaigntrailyardsigns.com/oklahoma-campaign-sign-placement-law/
I will be stopping by from time to time if anyone would like me to clarify anything or would like to discuss anything.

@paulaj84511 Hi Paul, no they are not allowed on school property. Here is more information on yard sign laws in Utah: http://www.campaigntrailyardsigns.com/beware-campaign-lawn-sign-law-in-utah/
One of the reasons why social media is a challenging component to a campaign is that the candidate, staffer, or volunteer knows social media when they don't. I've found it to be like playing chess. I can learn how to play chess in an afternoon but it takes a lifetime to master it. Of course, these resources are geared towards getting people started and because of the time that it takes to build a following and truly get good at social media, it's best to start sooner rather than later!

Thanks mygalmeg for the additional information!
CrazyComposer I'm saying that candidates should get the lay of the political land, take stock of themselves, and then put their best foot forward. If the political environment isn't friendly to incumbents, then an incumbent candidate should position him or herself in a way that demonstrates their independent streak or that they aren't an insider.
I look at it this way. If you were applying for a job, which is essentially what a candidate is doing over and over again, would you emphasize your work history that shows that you are a good fit for the position or would you concentrate on your work history that's either irrelevant (I think your view, for example, was that voting against someone because they are an incumbent is pathetic) or your work history that didn't cast you in the best possible light? I think you would focus on why your the best candidate for the job and leave the rest out.
I'm suggesting that candidates for elected office do the same.
