Battleground Texas (BT)

Seeks to transform the traditionally Republican state of Texas into a Democratic stronghold. Launched on February 26, 2013, Battleground Texas (BT) seeks to transform the traditionally Republican Lone Star State into a Democratic stronghold by “expanding the electorate by registering more voters—and, as importantly, mobilizing those Texans who are already registered but who have not been engaged in the democratic process. Toward that end, BT relies heavily on the efforts of volunteers and organizers “knocking on doors, registering voters, and engaging Texans” to support Democratic candidates. (As of February 2014, the organization claimed to have more than 10,000 volunteers with deputy voter registrar status.) BT believes that large numbers of Texans are “tired of not being heard, tired of not being represented … and tired of the same Republican playbook which is failing our communities and ignoring the[ir] needs.” Vowing to “change the face of presidential politics in this country as we know it,” BT points out that “with 38 electoral votes at stake, a blue [Democratic] Texas would be a surefire road to the White House.” In short, the objective is to take Texas and make it impossible for Republicans to ever again win a presidential election. BT’s senior adviser is Jeremy Bird, who served as national field director of President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign and is the founder of a consulting firm called 270 Strategies; Bird previously worked on the presidential campaigns of Obama in 2008, John Kerry in 2004, and Howard Dean, also in 2004.

Anon's we have some problems to expose if we're to have a Redwave in the midterms, there are some new organizations out there designed to subvert the vote. If they are not exposed people maybe unwittingly duped. We need to dig and meme in every corner of this country for every new organization that has cropped up before the midterm elections if we are going to save this country from the garbage that wants to infiltrate our lives.

270 Strategies

270 Strategies (270S) is a consulting firm that was launched in 2013 by supporters of President Barack Obama. 270 Strategies (270S) is a consulting firm that was launched in 2013 by supporters of President Barack Obama. Their objective was to help left-wing “campaigns, companies, and causes” use “grassroots organizing” methods to “transform communities” and “keep doing big things to change the world” even after January of 2017, when Obama’s presidency was due to end. From 2013-15, the firm served more than 160 clients across a variety of sectors. In the political sphere, for instance, 270S’s clients included such groups as Battleground Texas, iVote, and Ready for Hillary. The organization also provided key services for Cory Booker’s 2013 run for the U.S. Senate (in New Jersey), Terry McAuliffe’s 2013 gubernatorial campaign in Virginia, Rahm Emanuel‘s 2015 mayoral re-election bid in Chicago, and Ro Khanna’s (unsuccessful) 2014 run for a congressional seat representing the Bay Area and Silicon Valley. In areas not related directly to electoral politics, 270S has supported clients like the Service Employees International Union, Planned Parenthood, the Environmental Defense Fund, Everytown for Gun Safety, the College Board, and AARP to promote their respective agendas vis-a-vis a wide range of issues—including immigration reform, health care access, “women’s equality,” a higher minimum wage, education standards, and efforts to avert the purported dangers associated with “climate change.” In addition, 270S has worked with numerous corporations whose “missions … align with our values.” Among these clients are multi-billion-dollar technology firms, startup companies, major health insurers, nutrition and fitness advocates, professional sports teams, and “newsmakers in the sharing economy.” In servicing its clients, 270S specializes in the recruitment of volunteers to help ensure that “organizations of every size have a bigger impact.” Additional services include:

a digital strategy that integrates email, social media, design, analytics, and advertising;

the use of data to help clients “be more effective with their resources and time—calculating quantitative goals, establishing accountability systems, and incorporating focus groups, polling, and modeling”;

helping campaigns, companies, and causes “tell their story, whether they’re looking to launch a new effort or respond to a crisis”;

crafting effective earned and paid media plans;

equipping clients for rapid response and media appearances; and

helping clients to develop customized training programs that “foster leadership, take their organizing programs to scale, and build capacity within their organizations.”

In September 2014, 270S launched a recurring six-week program that begins with five days of “intensive” campaign training at the organization’s Chicago headquarters (at a cost of $3,500 to each trainee), followed by an optional five weeks of volunteer work with an “an important Democratic campaign in the United States” (an opportunity that costs each trainee an additional $1,500).
