How Can FPF be Used in Coming Elections?
#BTV #VT – In response to recent questions about Front Porch Forum and the fall elections…
Yes, you are welcome to post your comments about the various races. Please keep them brief and civil! Front Porch Forum has a rich history of neighbor discussion about candidates and ballot measures.
For anyone running for office or involved in a campaign, we have a new option this year: the FPF Paid Campaign Posting. You can place your message alongside postings from neighbors in any group of FPFs in Vermont. You pick the neighborhoods/towns and the dates. Slots are limited — and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Contact info and details: http://bit.ly/FPF_PCP
Nearly 40,000 Vermonters subscribe to FPF now out of the 40% of the state that we cover.
