Matt's blog post asking for help: http://nhlabornews.com/2013/04/can-you-help-matt-murray-of-the-nh-labor-news-win-a-scholarship-to-netroots-nation-2013/
By Matt Murray | April 5, 2013
For over two years now I have been working to build the NH Labor News. What started as a project with the NH AFL-CIO, the NH Labor News blog grew into a full social media presence. The NH Labor News now has over 1000 Facebook fans and over 2100 followers on Twitter.
My main goal in creating the NH Labor News was to create a single stream of labor related information for union members (and union supporters), a place to get information about what is going in here in the Granite State and beyond.
Throughout the last two years we have covered everything from the funding problems with the USPS to local Public Employee Labor Relations Board hearings and everything in between. Over the last year I helped push for support of Governor Maggie Hassan, Rep Carol Shea-Porter, Rep Annie Kuster, President Obama and dozens of local NH candidates.
Now I am asking for you to help me. I need your votes.
I along with over 3000 people, I will be attending the annual Netroots Nation event in California this June. For those who do not know about Netroots Nation, it is an annual event where bloggers and social media experts come to together to share their knowledge with everyone else. This builds a large, strong social media presence when it comes to progressive issues. The connections are invaluable, and the knowledge is unmatched.
Netroots Nation does have some costs associated with it. This is how you can help me. Democracy for America is offering a scholarship to cover registration and lodging at NN13. This would only mean that I would need to come up with transportation to California (if you want to sponsor my airfare contact me directly).
Please take one minute to Vote for MATT on the DFA website. http://nn13.democracyforamerica.com/applicants/64?complete=true
EVERY VOTE COUNTS
Then share this post on your Facebook walls and on your Twitter accounts. The more votes I get the better my chances of winning a scholarship. With you help I can attend this amazing event.
