One of the most important lessons any grassroots supporter ever learns is to never just sit around waiting for the campaign to tell you what to do. "Grassroots" is just another way of saying "from the bottom up". Real grassroots starts with ordinary citizens taking the initiative (e.g. this website) to make things happen for their candidate.

Below you will find a list of things you can be doing to help Mike Huckabee and his common-sense positions gain traction around the country. We hope and trust that Mike Huckabee will run for president in the future and when he does we will be there ready to support him, his problem solving ideas, and traditonal American values.

Each item includes a description of the activity along with links to resources to help you get started. Make it your goal to do each activity on this list and to recruit at least two other people to do the same.

We also encourage you to continue to vote for Mike Huckabee if your state has not voted yet so that Mike Huckabee and his issues have a strongest support possible at the Republican Convention in September even though Huckabee is not longer contesting that McCain will win the nomination.

1) Sign-up for the official Mike Huckabee newsletter.
The official newsletter is a great way to stay up-to-date on what's going on with Mike Huckabee. You will receive updates from the campaign manager, Chip Saltsman, as well as from Mike Huckabee himself. If you've donated to the campaign you should already get these emails.

2) Sign up for Huck's Army and then enlist others.
One of the first things any Huckabee supporter should do (whether they want to get involved in grassroots activities or not) is to declare their support for Mike Huckabee by enlisting at HucksArmy.com. Ultimately, our goal is to enlist every single Huckabee supporter across the country in an accurate reflection of Mike's strong appeal to millions of Americans.

If you have a website or blog consider posting a link to HucksArmy.com and directing other supporters to sign-up and get involved. To make this easier we've provided some snazzy looking sidebar and banner ads for you to use.

3) Contact all of your family and friends about Mike Huckabee.
You'd be surprised how effective a short email or phone call can be. The truth is that a referral from someone you know (even from way back) can be more persuasive than the endorsement of a major public figure. You are the very best person to reach your family and friends.

So what are you waiting for? Open up that address book and start sending out emails or making phone calls today. Include a link to your favorite Huckabee Video and encourage them to check out his website: MikeHuckabee.com. Once they're on fire, direct them here to get involved.

Also, make sure that you keep following up with people. Most people are feeling guilty because they know that they should be paying attention to politics, but they're not sure where to start. You might feel like you are bothering them, but most likely they just appreciate knowing what's going on and which candidate is worthy of their vote.

6) Make Mike your friend on Facebook or MySpace.
The number of "friends" a candidate has on these social-networking sites is considered a indication of their appeal -- especially among younger voters. If you already have a Facebook or MySpace profile make sure you add the future President of the United States to your friends list.

8) Write Letters-to-the-Editor and keep Mike Huckabee in the news
A thoughtful letter to the editor of your local newspaper (or even a national paper) can be read by hundreds or even thousands of people if it gets published. Studies show that letters-to-the-editor are often one of the most-read sections of a newspaper! From time-to-time Google News will even feature such letters on their home-page. How's that for making a difference?

Especially if you like to write (and even if you don't) consider writing something that could be submitted to newspapers around the country. Make sure that your logic is sound and your facts are straight -- and make your best case for why:
- Huckabee has the best solution to a current problem
- Huckabee should be the vice-president nominee or leader of some sort (this can change based on the current political discussion of the day)

There are many other letters that you can write that would involve Huckabee in a positive way and we encourage you to express yourself.


9) Call in to talk radio shows.
Calling into your favorite radio talk shows is a great way to reach hundreds, thousands, or millions of people. Keeping Huckabee's name in the national discussion in a positive way helps buiding his name ID and support for the future. You can also build support for him by building support for positions that Huckabee supports such as the FairTax.

The link below will provide you with the web addresses of some popular talk show hosts, but the best place for you to start is with the shows that you already listen to you -- that way you will know the host and have a good idea of how to prepare.
