As idealistically as we would like to look at public service, politics and political campaigns run on money.

If you are new to the political scene, getting some help here is essential as quantities and prices of materials almost invariable provide a shock treatment to the neophyte. When you first begin your campaign, plan on spending about three quarters of your time on fund raising. When you contact voters, you will need literature and other campaign materials including signs, possibly media buys if appropriate. All this costs money. If you don't have supporters, you won't have too many votes either. Keep in mind you complementing these people by asking for their advice and financial support. When you have the check in your hand, ask if they have 2 or 3 friends or acquaintances with similar values that might also want to help you accomplish whatever goal you set out in your materials. In addition to their financial support, ask if you can list them publicly as endorsing your candidacy. While you are pursuing the large donor track, ask other like minded people to host what is commonly called a "meet 'n greet" in their home or business. It's good to have bumper stickers, literature, yard signs, etc. available as election day approaches. Don't be afraid to ask these people to host a party of their own. Politics is a people business.

This may seem like a lot of effort for a few small checks, but these small checks represent the backbone of your campaign effort. The people that write these smaller checks will tell their friends about you... and they too have an emotional interest in you victory on election day. Send them campaign updates, event schedules and invitations. If I was standing in the Social uproar leader's post, I would keep my hands off the Security and State issues. I would not mention whatsoever the Peace process, the Palestinian issue and even the scattered illegal Bedouin villages. Upon running the party's census via the Web, full transparency and intense public approval can be achieved. That way, the middle working class will actually pay from its own sources in the frontal confrontation versus the old, lame and faltering current political system.

The present situation is pending Prime Minister Netanyahu's moves. The essence of the civil protest will stay among us. The basic idea that it is time to change direction will not be easily forgotten by the mass. None of the present political players can get off the hook. Additionally, some poll point to the fact that a "social uproar" party can reach somewhere between 20 to 40 parliament seats. Even if the Security situation goes down the hill all of a sudden, dragging the social movement away, its potential still remains, and crisscrossing political rivalries. Also, this constant information feed keeps us distracted with details. For example, the Occupy movement-founded and largely occurring in the United States, but with worldwide reverberations-empowered financial regulators and the politicians whose jobs depended on catering to now politicized-voters to increase enforcement efforts. Recently, our firm encountered a less-than-pleasant letter from New York's Department of Taxation and Finance.
