This video brings tears to my eyes. It’s the incredible people in the Guelph campaign writing powerful, simple messages. See the videoWhy Vote Green? at http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=9VvdG_RL7qY
Aelwynn Swanson created the video, and Canadian musician David Cox did a custom soundtrack .. he wrote the song and recorded it JUST for this video!!!
The Guelph campaign really is rocking!
Drive the Video into Viral Overdrive!
Watch the video, rate it (5 stars course), comment on it, and favourite it. (You need a YouTube account to do this which takes 5 minutes to set up just once.) These four simple actions will drive it higher on the rankings for political videos.
Just 7 people favouriting this video today has already driven Why Vote Green? to being the second highest favourited video in the political category today (Aug 26). And then hundreds of other people will watch it to see what its all about. http://ca.youtube.com/browse?s=mf&c=25&l=&b=0
If 7 people comment on the video it will be in the top 10 of commented political videos today and then it will be on the front page of that section for political videos (see http://ca.youtube.com/browse?s=md&c=25&l=&b=0)

So once a video is already in the top 10 don’t comment, favourite, rank unless one more would make a huge difference – i.e. if 5 comments put a video at #10 but 7 puts it at #2 then the extra two comments are worth it that day. But if #10 requires 5 comments but #2 requires 50 – we can stay in the top 10 for 10 days by only having 5 people a day comment on it.
As the video builds views, it rises in the rankings for views. And that’s how it goes viral!
