Send to Bill the how to tech issues that are needed for the
website flow.

Eric Byler - I spoke with Meredith Burkich yesterday (President of
Viridian) about using media that they have already put together. She told
me that the fastest and easiest way to get the co-branded video done is
to submit "Just the segment we need" to insert into the RFP Video for
Coffee Party and she can get a very fast turnaround done. This is GREAT
news because it lessens the amount of post production work you need to
do. SO. I would like for you to give us a storyboard framework on how
you see the video segment (I will attach the RFP VIDEO LINK below) so
that we can get this shot and done. This will give us a tool to share with
all who support us, and give us an even better template in which to work
from for other Co-Branded CP/Vir. videos that we can create.

Jeneane - We need to finish the approach we want to take for the
leadership and groups. If you can get it done by Tuesday, can we get a
list of the Coffee Party Groups and Chapters together so we can visually
see the best Organizations to call and start doing so.

Dan - We need to start putting together a list of all Non-Profits that are of
a Political and military Nature and start ranking them in terms of
importance and syncronicity to ours and viridians missions. If you can get
this done by Tuesday I will be thanking you profusely.

Michael - We need to get a time and date set up for Training the Trainers
here, Specifically the Board on how we can approach our chapters and
members properly, and the best start to a Webinar that shows the
benefits of both the Coffee Party and Viridian Missions. This is something
we both will work on in tandem with the Board since ensuring both Brands
are put in their proper light is essential.

Cameron - I will be reaching out to Non-Profs with Dan, Chapter heads
with Jeneane, Speaking with Nationbuilder to ensure that we have the
right Tagging structure in place, Talking with Votifi, Taking Mentorship
from Michael, Talking strategy with all of you, and preparing the Agenda
for Tuesday and following up to make sure we do what we need to do.
Results - Spoke to a few Non-Profs this weekend. Stonewalled a
little bit, but got the information we needed from Guidestar.org.
Get a list coordinated of the leaders of our iced coffee groups so
we can start the discussion of coordinating a roll out with them.
Spoke with Nationbuilder with Jeneane yesterday and we
probably have the proper method for pushing people to our
Viridian page with the best ease and transition. Spoke with Votifi
and it looks like we will be able to really delve into what our
followers are thinking for this launch and beyond. Been Speaking
with Michael. Still need to touch base with a few of you about
Strategy. Prepared the Agenda. I will be following up with each of
you this morning.

Social Media Discussion

Facebook should write a quick explanation about what the
partnership with Viridian means to them. This will continue
to give fresh perspectives from the people involved online. It
will also build confidence among the active user base.

revolve around links and videos about Viridian and what
deregulation means. The explanation video and introduction
video should be shared at least 3-5 times weekly for the first
month.

Michael Fitz - Comments
Getting boots on the street to start bringing in

Through Strategic Plan of Action
Associates
Through Strategic Plan of Action

Politics with Purpose is the tagline that effectively combines
Viridians mission with CPUSAs. (Viridian: Continue to be THE
category creator and disrupter of the energy sector by making
green products affordable for consumers. CPUSA: Become a
category creator and disrupter of the political sector by conveying a
movement that takes the emphasis off of money-making in politics
and rather puts it on most effective decision-making, for the greater
good of the country and planet).
Create a Facebook Application that outlines the benefits of signing-
up with Viridian through the Coffee Party.
The Custom Application will also provide links to sign-up,
contact or request more information, or to become an
Associate or Customer under the Viridian-CPUSA
account.
#GreenCoffee
#GreenCoffee is a tag to use whenever green energy is
discussed with Viridian via CPUSAs online media.
New customers will be encouraged to use this tag when they
sign-up (perhaps we can create an automatic application
that allows for this posts this notification to their social media
account(s) when Members of CPUSA sign-up as well if
so, it will be a measure that the user can opt-in or out
voluntarily of course)
Note - Cameron - Nation Builder allows for us to set a
standard tweet wording. This makes compliance very
happy I am sure. :)
Coffee Party can launch the tag with an open discussion on
Power with Purpose (see notes above re: Taking Money
out of Politics. Putting Green Energy on the Grid.)
The discussion will help launch the tag and other discussion
will continue to keep it relevant.
This tag will also differentiate the coffee party in the #Green
discussions that Viridian will have in the future.
Green Content
The government spends billions of dollars on green energy.
Good and bad. Content that is for or against the principles of
the Coffee Party will be posted online with the views of the
content creators.
The green content wont be specific to Viridian. The content
should start the discussions on green energy. Viridian is
merely the solution CPUSA chose to be involved in this
movement; we need to make it clear that its not the only
mission of CPUSA.

Current CP Methods for Outreach and Fundraising
1. Start with a broadcast then find supporters who will become associates.
2. Nationbuilder Tagging of people so we know what level of participation they are
at
1. Track it
2. Cascading levels of involvement/participation
3. Do a VIDEO on the WHY people should make the switch and what it does.
4.
CP Audience (members and followers)
1. Appeal for 50 states is SOLAR
2. In Viridian footprint it is Solar, Electric, and Natural Gas.
3. Move for deregulation in the other 39 states
Customer Approach (steps)
1. Inform the Community our actions
1. Change your electricity provider and change the world
2. Two groups
2. Supporters who switch
3. Supporters who will become associates
4. Asking them to pass the opportunity through the nationbuilder link.
3. Doing Events where there are big Social movements in DC
5. And using social media to spread the word
6. Asking people to go to DC to do so.

movement
8. Showing the amount of carbon taken out of the environment
9. Developing hashtags to spread.
4. DEFINING THE WHY - Step 1 in the duplicate system
10. The Coffee Party Why
1. organizing social and in person to get money out of politics
2. Instead of focusing on money in politics
1. They have money but we are many
1. We can help the many have money to fight those
with money
2. Lets break the cycle of corruption
2. We buy Toilet paper the company uses a part of
their profits to pay
3. Using Social Media to bring forward a new movement to change
our approach by using the viridian model to support the campaign.
3. VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLAR!
4. Countering big money campaigns with Big Network Campaigns
4. This can shift the market
5. We can now appeal to a bigger consumer base
5. What kind of pushback might we get and how do we get around
it?
6. Legislation to slow down or stop the Nonprofit Capitalism
movement
3. We can Push the Coffee Party membership to
LOBBY their congressmen to stop such a law
7. Competition from Big money Corporate non-profits
4. We can get ahead of them by really REACHING
OUT to every Large non-profit in the country. -

Comments
1. Facebook for Engagement through the APP will give us Data
2. The Viridian structure is best for us and we are the best medium to move the
RFP Program forward based upon our why and our capabilities
3. Being able to use the financial Keystone of Network Marketing to counter those
who have more money to use their megaphone to drown out the people. The
People will now have lots of smaller megaphones that will use viridian as an
amplifier for their megaphones.
4. THEY HAVE MUCH, WE ARE MANY. LETS BECOME MANY WHO HAVE
MUCH.

MEDIA AND COPY SECTION

Eric Byler messaging notes:
Save on Energy Costs and Demonstrate the Power of Collective Action
One of the most profound challenges we face in America is the power of corporate
advertising. Political operatives and other marketers believe that one-way
communication commercial advertising controls the choices we make as
individuals. The Coffee Party is setting out to prove that this is no longer true, and we
need your help.
[Your state] is one of ________ in the nation that allows customers to switch to a cleaner
home energy source by changing out the supplier. Viridian is a new, non-profit energy
supplier that collects energy from greener sources than the old school energy suppliers.
The energy that arrives at your home or business packs the same punch, and it saves
you money over time, which is reflected each month in your energy bill. CLICK HERE to
make the switch.
Coffee Partys elected leaders recently made the switch:
Im saving $20 a month, and it feels really good to know my choice as a consumer
supports my goal as a citizen to help American switch to cleaner energy.
Justin Brown, Coffee Party Board of Directors
We have carefully vetted Viridians business model, weve made the switch in our
homes and are saving money, and now we want to amplify the environmental impact by
reaching out to a half million friends in the Coffee Party community.
Cameron Kruger, Coffee Party Board of Directors
The Revolution Will Be Consumer-Driven
Advertising campaigns in traditional media are expensive, and, of course, that cost is
passed on to the consumer. Thats why Viridian is relying on emerging social media
networks like the Coffee Party to demonstrate the power of a new, consumer-driven
paradigm.
Under the current model, the will of the American people to reduce our carbon footprint
is thwarted by for-profit energy companies who lobby against cleaner regulations and
make political contributions to pay for attack ads. The money they use to corrupt our
democracy is drawn from the consumer choices we make. They use advertising to
threaten our elected officials, and, they use advertising to persuade us to pay into this
corrupt process by purchasing their products.
Now, thanks to the viral connectivity of social media, We the People have a choice in the
matter.
If this model
[e]
is successful, it will interrupt the cycle of corruption that puts profiteers in
the place that the People should be when it comes to public policy. Non-profit energy
companies
[f]
will crop up in all 50 states, and the political influence of for-profit
corporations will wane as the People vote with their pocketbooks by switching to support
non-profit companies through these programs that set the public interest as their top
priority. All of this depends on demonstrating that the power of person-to-person
communications, amplified by social media, is more potent than expensive advertising
campaigns disseminated by traditional media. If We the People flex our muscle, for-
profit companies will shift their business models, and, the lobbyists in Washington will,
increasingly, work for companies that serve the public good.

Dearest <FIRST_NAME>,

I have a great story to tell you
[g]
but this is not your average story. Its more like The Never-
Ending Story as its ending is not yet written. (Google 1980s Sci-fi films if you have no idea
what I am talking about.)

Read on, because not only does this story continue with our beloved Coffee Party Movement
helping all Americans through civilized means, but enables our movement to help each other
financially so we have the time to Coffee Party. Sounds awesome right? Lets continue the story...

So the truth is we have been running a 237-year marathon of government influence. We were
born into this marathon and those who came before us hired the marathon staff that previously
did a good job, but unfortunately we were told that we had to run in this marathon. You see the
special interests have been driving through the course of the marathon in Humvees with fire
hose turrets and anytime we have gotten close to them, they have turned on the water to slow us
down.

There used to be referees on the course to stop it, but they got old and they retired. To make
things worse the new referees have been hired by the special interests to make sure that their
race was a sure thing. The referees no longer look out for you. Instead they are only working the
course to get a job interview with; you guessed it The Special Interests whose lobbying firms give
them big bucks to stop you from finishing the race.

So how does that make you feel? I will tell you it angered the heck out of me, which motivated me
to join the Coffee Party in the first place, and if youre like me, you want to do something about it.
Well ask yourself these questions:

Is it ok with you that Special Interests have OUR representatives on their payroll?
Is it ok with you that they get to choose what is best for OUR children and OUR families?
Is it ok with you that they fund our representatives campaigns without you having a right to say
NO?

Well what if we could provide a systemized easy to use solution to help OUR communities to stop
them? Would interest you into getting involved?

Well, What if I told you that Coffee Party now has a way to fund a counter offensive and what if I
told you that it wouldnt cost you or anyone else, anything to fund it and what if I told you that in 3-
5 minutes of action, right now, you could help us win this marathon and what if I told you that we,
our fellow coffee partiers and our countrymen together could make enough money to fund all of
the initiatives we wanted to accomplish, be able to take vacations together, live the lives that we
have dreamed of, and helped to promote our philanthropic efforts just by talking about what we
are doing in coffee party and as a bonus, we could help to put an end to mass pollution on our
planet all at the same time?

Want to see how it works?

My Fellow Coffee Partiers,
http://m.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/11/why-you-might-buy-electricity-from-
elon-musk-some-day/281824/

This is a great article to read and it really put many things into perspective for me.
Hi, Cameron Michaels, Director of Development for Coffeepartyusa.com here and I
believe that we are heading towards a huge paradigm shift in the way our energy is
created and distributed and after reading this article, I also believe that Viridian Energy,
a publicly traded company and an exclusive Solar City distribution partner, sees this shift
too. (Solar City is an Elon Musk Company that installs and maintains residential and
commercial solar panels for free and only charges for the energy their customers use.)
This is why the Coffee Party Movement (coffeepartyusa.com) is teaming up with Viridian
Energy through the Viridian Residual Fundraising Program, a not-for-profit
[h]
program
designed to help Nonprofits fundraise by simply educating people on their right to
choose a greener supplier for their energy consumption.
This Program is a wildly successful fundraising endeavor and it is currently free for our
membership to switch over their electric and gas supplier in deregulated states in 3-5
minutes online <Click Here to Switch>.
This one 3-5 minute action gives the coffee party recession proof funds without costing
our donors any money and has provided carbon offsets equivalent to more then 2 billion
pounds of CO2 being siphoned out of the atmosphere. Viridians green energy supply
will also save those who switch, money over time on their utility bills while "Greening the
Grid", and if that wasn't enough, this program also gives you an opportunity to get Solar
panels installed and maintained on your house free of charge! This is not just an
incredible program, it's a game changing program for the Coffee Party and that's not
even the best part!
(Want to know the best part? Heres the best part!)
Because you are a member of the Coffee Party, have switched your electric &
[i]
gas over
to Viridians Green Energy Supply, or have checked the box to have a consultation to get
solar panels put on your roof, we wanted to show you our appreciation by giving back to
you!
For supporting us, not only will we give you a $25 restaurant.com Gift Card, but we will
give you the opportunity to have an even greater impact while making some money with
us, giving you both time and financial freedom! For More information on how this works
please <click here>.
Thanks to the Viridian Residual Fundraising Program our members and chapters can
now Incite Civility and Reason through not-for-profit capitalist means
[j]
, and have the
opportunity to have the time and financial freedom to do so as well. This is a win-win-
win-win program and I am urging every coffee party member to get involved either as a
an electric / gas customer, solar panel customer, or a money making volunteer and
fundraiser as part of a team working directly with me to build a not-for-profit capitalist
movement that can help us restore the balance of power in Washington D.C. once and
for all!
Sincerely,
Cameron Michaels

This is just the beginning so lets show the American Electorate that not-for-
profit
[k]
capitalism is the best way to fight back against those who mean to use our
government against us, and empower each other for the right to govern ourselves as our
founding fathers intended. Join us on January xx, 2014 for a webinar explaining this
unique opportunity! I look forward to seeing you there!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bill,
I think I speak for the Coffee Party Leadership and my team when I say we sincerely
look forward to moving forward with Viridian. The confidence you and your team have in
us will bring us all to a better society to live in and a cleaner earth to live on. We look
forward to spreading power with purpose through politics with purpose.
With much love and admiration for all we are about to do,
Mr. Cameron M. Kruger

STRATEGY:
Purpose: To coordinate and establish a co-branded campaign that reflects the goals of
both Viridian and Coffee Party USA
Goals:
1) To bring forth a successful fundraising and marketing campaign using Non-profit
Capitalist techniques
[l][m][n][o][p][q]
to counter the For-profit Capitalist Techniques inherently
influential in our governmental process today.
2) To establish the rules and regulations of Viridian
[r]
cares.org Residual Fundraising
Program and incorporate them into the initiative.
3) To increase the organization's brand awareness in the public domain, while
encouraging the political activism of its members.
4) To use the Residual Fundraising Program to supplement Coffee Partys Donor base
and establish good fundraising techniques through web centered mediums.
5) To activate and inspire new and old Coffee Party members to become associates and
work on behalf of themselves to help raise funds for Coffee Party passively.
6) To raise enough capital to fund the mass media campaigns of the organization.
7) To provide Coffee Party Leaders new opportunities that support the activist movement
that counters For-Profit Lobbying.
8)
[s]
To Empower and fund sub-nations, partners, and chapters to fund their missions as
well. (I will suggest here that each chapter have their own account that is either a non-
profit because it is free for them, or the leader takes on an account and we coach and
teach them techniques on how to spread the word. More on this after we speak.)
Strategy: The proper strategy must be implemented to ensure success. It is a known fact
that if we fail to plan in any endeavour, we plan to fail and this is just as true here. So
this plan of action will work backwards from success to inception in order to reverse
engineer our goals from completion to startup in order to understand what is needed to
get to where we want to be
[t][u]
. See our tech strategy below.
End Goals:
[v][w][x][y][z]
To have a thriving fundraising campaign generating over 3 million
dollars a month
[aa][ab][ac][ad][ae][af][ag][ah][ai]
in revenue. To achieve this goal, we must
understand the numbers that allow for this goal to happen. In the skeleton scenario, we
must assume that 2 million of this revenue comes from electric meters of 1 million
consumers, and 1 million of this revenue comes from gas meters of 1 million consumers.
Broken down into averages per person. that means we must have 5 legs (Level 1) of
200,000 Customers each. With an average of each Level associate having 5 legs, then
all of the 5 legs in level 2 must have 40,000 customers in each of their legs. Level 3
associates must have 8000 customers in their legs. Level 4 associates must have 1600
customers in their legs. Level 5 associates must have 320 customers in their legs. Level
6 associates must have 64 customers in their legs. Level 7 associates must have 13
customers in their legs. Level 8 associates must have 2 customers signed up in their
legs each.
Subsequently we must have 285 associates signed up under the Coffee Party account in
total to create this growth in depth, and there is nothing that says that we cannot stack
these associates with those who volunteer to support us and make a bit of money in the
mix. Remember this is a business and each associate that the coffee party sponsors
also has an ability to be the next big associate who can bring in the next big account.
These numbers above are not static either. People can do better or worse than
expected, but through training on a weekly basis, which we will run, we can have one of
the best teams ever assembled in the history of non-profit capitalism.
Coffee Party USA is a nation within the NationBuilder architecture. This section will
define the NB structure for fulfilling our not for profit capitalism (NFPC) strategy.

[a]Cameron Kruger: The Brown here is to denote that this thought is not fully and
completely solid. We need to discuss this part to figure in the best possible logistics so
that we are not overwhelming ourselves. I think that once we have customers and we
have volunteers that want to get involved that we give them the opportunity. We can
also reach out to the Coffee Party Groups that are already stood up and bring the
leadership in to show how this can work. Lets discuss this part.
[b]
[c]
[d]J'nene Kay: Where would a response team live on this chart - response team
meaning those we allow to field questions and concerns from members and
supporters. Above or below Leadership and Chapters - like a CP work group? Or task
team under Development Work Group?
[e]J'nene Kay: If this grassroots capitalism model is successful....
[f]Cameron Kruger: non-profits using grassroots capitalist programs like viridians
[g]J'nene Kay: Should we open with a segway to our soon to be made video about
grassroots capitalism?
[h]J'nene Kay: redundant
[i]J'nene Kay: and
[j]J'nene Kay: grassroots capitalism
[k]J'nene Kay: grassroots
[l]J'nene Kay: I love this. And, what do you think about "the techniques of Non-profit
Capitalism"? The first sounds singular, the second sounds collective. What do you
think?
[m]Cameron Kruger: Love your version better
Also We must discuss something that I know will make one of the biggest differences
in our organization.... I'll call today
[n]J'nene Kay: GREAT. AND, can we add Jeff, our NB person, to this doc? and the
conversation?
[o]Cameron Kruger: Yes... please do
[p]Lindsey Nagy: re: #5)... I think you could also mention that these new/old Associates
will now be working for compensation in ADDITION to this effort to re-activate or
activate their volunteer efforts (i.e.: events, meetings, etc) nation-wide, to meet and
network with like-minded supporters of CPUSA. That old and new (and now hopefully
MORE, in general) chapters of CPUSA will have renewed-motivated to meetup for this
opp and volunteer opps on behalf of the organization's main cause.
[q]Lindsey Nagy: OK, #8 says a bit of what I jsut wrote, so I think it's just a matter of
clearly outlining the volunteerism-goals and associate-worker-goals (of chapters and
individuals of chapters) between these two points.
[r]J'nene Kay: I think it is important to maintain the separation between Viridian and the
program Viridian Cares.
[s]J'nene Kay: Should we say something about empowering sub nations or partners or
chapters (something) to also use Not for profit Capitalism to forward their mission?
[rough]
[t]Lindsey Nagy: not sure if this is stated as clearly as it could be. Suggestion:
"CPUSA has put into effect a formal strategy to introduce, implement, and manage a
fundraising campaign that similarly gives volunteers and supporters the means to earn
personal revenue (i.e.: compensation) for their efforts. Through this strategy, we will, in
essence, reverse engineer our mission to: "Remove the current focus of money in
politics to that of bipartisan unity aimed at government for the greater good". By
executing this strategy through completion we expect to reach revolutionary goals of
"non-profit capitalism" where political decisions will be made based on unbiased
government leadership in the USofA; and will allow for innovation in the way that every
American has a method to ensure that their support (i.e.: time, donations, volunteerism
or work) has voting power to see that offers of products and services that every
American needs are provided."
(Something like that - more specific to the 'why', 'what' and 'how' this strategy exists).
[u]J'nene Kay: I really like this take on our objective. One minor point - we use the term
transpartisan rather than bipartisan.
[v]J'nene Kay: Can we make a timeline for achieving these goals?
[w]Cameron Kruger: WE NEED TO
[x]Lindsey Nagy: I would suggest that "End Goals" needs to be edited to "Goal", in
general, which is defined simply as the following:
"To have a thriving fundraising campaign generating over 3 million dollars a month for
CPUSA by [INSERT DATE]; whereby CPUSA can make an impact to:
a) Achieve it's mission effectively making "non-profit capitalism" a household term and
remove money as the driving factor for politicians to make their politics;
b) Fulfill all organization operational costs [$#];
Have [#} of active chapters nationwide;
c) Assist chapters annually with [$#] and [#]hours;
d) Build an annual report that provides supporting facts, accolades, milestones and a
"FAQ" portion of CPUSA website to support common volunteer inquiries;
e) Provide [#] staff to field the requests of driven supporters in a timely and
professional matter;
f) Provide [#] American individuals or families with a proven means to earn an honest
living starting by leveraging one of the largest-growing startups to-date in what will be
the biggest industry in America;
g) Use [#] of CPUSA proceeds to support [#] of charities [provide list of them ALL with
links to websites] as CPUSA's 501(c)4 filing permits the organisation to do."
[y]Lindsey Nagy: Once that "Goal" is clearly outlined with #s per each important topic,
you add the following step-by-step process (aka: what has been referred to as a
"Strategy" in the first place, above) as "STRATEGY OUTLINE" as follows:
" STEP ONE: Contract/Introduction
[Completion Date]
[Board Members Responsible for Execution]
Task: - Contact all supporters and volunteers and members via CPUSA and Board
Member's personal, social media and email accounts -- re: this new system, what it
means for CPUSA, and what it could mean for them and American government and
charity support via CPUSA. Explain how they can get involved. (Perhaps send a letter
to all members of CPUSA, too).
STEP TWO: Member Registration
[Completion Date]
[Board Members Responsible for Execution]
Task: Provide info how/where they can sign-up. Setup "Chat" or Forum session or
Webinar online for Q/A.
Step THREE: Meetings
(Invite them to informational meetings at existing chapters to spread the word and
explain details, in-person).
Step FOUR: Training
(on what this is / how it works -- once people register. Explain that by doing this they
will be donating to CPUSA and helping themselves. Show them WHY it's worth it and
how EASY it is to fundraise via these honest and trending efforts)
Step FIVE:
(CPUSA reporting, annual report, let supporters/members know CPUSA progress via
their efforts)
Step SEVEN:
CPUSA makes annual donation of proceeds to list of charities (non-profits) by CPUSA
as outlined per 501(c)4 filing status.
Step SIX:
Press. Interviews. PR. Let the public know what CPUSA is up to and why.
New year....Restart from STEP ONE.
...
[z]Lindsey Nagy: (something like that would be the official strategy outline I would
suggest...complete with more details on goals and dates for each social media post,
blog post, email newletter, webinar and in-person event attendees, and mailer
responses.
And put the Viridian Associate genealogy goals under a category labeled as such -- as
an appendix. Use it as a reference to help determine your goal #s and deadlines.
Lastly, I suggest including "Completion Date" and "Board Members Responsible for
Execution" accordingly for each task. (to ensure things get done on-time per the
complete strategy objective)
[aa]Debilyn Molineaux: When I see numbers like this, I think of Multi-level Marketing. If
this is MLM for a cause, should we embrace it as such? In this doc and in the signup
email, I still don't have information about what it is. Sounds like a ponzi scheme...
[ab]Cameron Kruger: I am saying this is the goal. It is possible because there are way
more then 1.5 million meters in the 10 states Viridian is in and it is definitely possible
that when 1.5 million meters pay their electric bills per month, we get 2 dollars+ per
meter, hence this number. Yes you ever looked into network marketing? Have you
looked into the company? ( it's publicly traded FYI) and have you thought about the
ramifications the utility companies would get into if they were part of a scam? Yeah
no... This is for real and it's as legitimate as apple computer.
[ac]Debilyn Molineaux: Cam, MLM (aka network marketing) has been around for a long
time and I've participated in several. It's a legitimate way to make moneybut let's be
transparent about it.
[ad]Cameron Kruger: Run the numbers of how many people there are in NJ who have
not switched over to a third party provider... Its about 2.2 Million. If We get that many
people under our umbrella, we will have 4.4 million a month coming in... Please watch
the video on Viridiancares.org
[ae]Debilyn Molineaux: Thanks!
[af]Debilyn Molineaux: Love it! The three selling points that appealed to me:
-good for environment
-save on energy bill
-supports organization
[ag]Lindsey Nagy: yes, that video is key, because Viridian, in general, is honestly
genius (don't take my word for it, it's growing revenue as such and making Average
Americans who are working hard at it millionaires in some cases). Our point, for
CPUSA, is that the non-profit side is something that allows money to be found in
monthly energy bill savings that is donated to both the cause (in this case CPUSA) and
also the Associate that takes initiative to generate the residual funding on behalf of
their interests and the cause.
So, I agree, Viridian's model is an MLM, so once people check out Viridian and see
what it is, they'll realize that CPUSA is getting involved with a business that's using a
model to do great things with FREE products, everyone needs and pays for every
month, that also pay-out to charitable and social welfare organizations.
Now, it's up to you guys how and if you want to say ALL of that, or if you think your
members/supporter will be able to just "get it" with your letter/notification. :-) Perhaps
you include a link to Viridian's video on ViridianCares.org in your intro letter to CPUSA
people? The video seemed to really work for Debilyn in this instance? Food for
thought!
[ah]J'nene Kay: -The video is key. (I would make it step one to exposure to the rest)
-The idea that MLM is the ultimate grassroots business model, a perfect vehicle for a
grassroots organization is key
-The idea of profit v income: all our money supports member driven campaigns to
support this republic's democracy is key
-I sometimes wonder if "grassroots capitalism" isn't a better term.
[ai]J'nene Kay: I have no idea what product line this man is representing, but I just
found his cut on grassroots capitalism and I think it should be the inspiration for our
approach. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-FiC_7JP2s
[aj]Cameron Kruger: I think this is the best idea... Let's make a sub nation.
[ak]Debilyn Molineaux: deregulated from what? this is not explicitly stated and was
probably explained in a conversation...
[al]Cameron Kruger: please google energy deregulation or watch the video here.
Www.viridianpresentation.info
This is the business presentation.
To see the nonprofit presentation go to
Www.viridiancares.org
[am]J'nene Kay: Shouldn't BACP be a sub nation?
[an]Debilyn Molineaux: Yes.
[ao]Cameron Kruger: Yes
[ap]Cameron Kruger: Spoke with Niccolo Casswit from Denver about this last night,
and he is extremely excited about it. We can utilize the whole of coffee party because
people who are in other states can sign up under coffee party as an associate and the
Coffee Party gets all bonuses and meters that that associate brings in.
[aq]Del Williams: It seems to me we need to do a test audience. We need to ask the
active organizers if they would buy in. It's not just BACP. We have others. Denver
never posts any actions at the ONT. How about if we contact active organizers around
the country and get their buy in?
[ar]Cameron Kruger: I am not in the business of asking for buy in from people who are
not ready to lead their own groups. If we are to impose an action to spark a movement
then the leaders who present themselves will renew the leadership in their areas. I will
not nor should any of us try to pull a horse to a watering hole to make them drink
unless they want to. So the Email blasts and the FB posts that come from this work
group will ultimately allow for any leader within the organization to step up and take
responsibility in their area of the country and therefore leadership to accomplish our
goals. Actions speak louder then words and I intend to impose this on everyone we
work with.
[as]Del Williams: Are we talking about NB point people? Can you have more than
one?
[at]J'nene Kay: Right now our contract is between Coffee Party USA and Varidian.
Cameron is THE point person. There is no reason he could not build a support team. I
would think that team should include folks with a genuine interest in the project.
[au]J'nene Kay: ...that includes the video
[av]Del Williams: Let's distinguish this from P2P. This is fundraising. And if you're
looking for a staffing structure, we can help. We need role definitions.
[aw]Cameron Kruger: Understood.
[ax]J'nene Kay: I think the rewards system that includes restaurant.com needs to be
separate but linked to this effort. What do you think?
[ay]Debilyn Molineaux: I removed the restaurant. com page from the navigation bar
when we ran out. It is still a page, but inactive.
