I started a social media-specific mini-action plan (i.e., not linked to a site or forum...self-contained in Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ posts) a few days ago. It is my hope that some of these self contained mini plans that are optimized for mobile devices will go viral. We're already seeing great participation, so let's help it grow!

- Today's mini action plan is HERE (Twitter), HERE (Facebook), and HERE (Google+). Let's all retweet and share these. And, of course, let's do the actual underlying plan, which is to send the prefilled tweet HERE to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.
