Act III: Make the initial contact
Good, you've got your profile ready to go public. Its clean, loads fast, and gives a brief summary of your principals, and hopefully interests them enough to click over to your website.
You've also found your targeted demographic. Now you need to let them know you are there.
You need to send them a message. The first thing you need to do is get Mozilla Firefox. The pages load faster with this browser, and if you are contacting a lot of people, this will save you time. Believe me, you won't want to go back with Internet Explorer, once you've used this browser. Click here to get Mozilla Firefox.

A simple "friend request" may do the trick, but I'd suggest sending a personalized email to each targeted potential voter. An email that lets them know you know they are there.
Here is a sample without the code:
Subject: Mr. Smith, Lets work together to change things in Atlanta
Body:
Mr. Smith,
My name is Joe Candidate, and I am running for State Senator in your district. As your State Senator, I would represent smaller government, more personal liberty, and a change in the "politics as usual" mentality in Atlanta.
I would like to invite you join my myspace campaign by Adding me as your friend, Subscribing to my blog, and passing the word about my candidacy. I need your help to change the way government operates. I need you to help elect me to the state Senate
Thank you for your time
Joe Candidate

Send this message to as many of your possible voters as possible. Now wait for the base to come to you, so you can spread your message.
Next: maintaining a friendship (coming soon)
