Subject: 	2 actions to promote #publiccode for EU elections

The next elections to the European Parliament will be held between 23 
and 26 May 2019. We want to make sure that as many candidates as 
possible are aware of our work to empower users to control technology.

As it currently stands, more than half of the current Members of the 
European Parliament will leave the parliament. We need to establish new 
contacts to advocate for Free Software in the next term. For this we 
need your help in order to promote the "Public Money? Public Code!" 
initiative.

*

*1) Mail to EU election candidates*

A mail is a good first step to establish contact with a candidate.  If 
you want to contact your candidate by e-mail, here are some hints and 
tips for your mailing:

  * use a concise subject
  * introduce yourself as an interested voter
  * introduce Free Software, talk about the four freedoms and why Free
    Software is important for you and the EU
  * ask a question - i.e. if the candidate wants to support Free
    Software in the European Parliament, does the candidate shares our
    values, which we communicate in our "Public Money? Public Code!"
    Campaign
  * ask if she/he needs any additional information or if she/he is open
    for a personal conversation about this topic
  * include a link to our brochure
    <https://fsfe.org/campaigns/publiccode/brochure>, ask if she/he
    wants to have a hard copy


Once you have done this mailing you should also try to stay in contact 
with your candidate. If you do not get an answer within one week ask 
friendly when you can expect a reply. Once you got an answer please 
share it with us <mailto:contact en fsfe.org> in order to discuss how to 
proceed.

*2) Contact EU election candidates on social networks*

If you want to contact your candidate on social networks here are some 
hints and tips:

  * especially on social networks we highly recommend you to stay calm
  * try to be precise
  * use our share pics and videos
    <https://www.youtube.com/c/FreeSoftwareFoundationEurope>
  * use links to our campaign websites and news items
  * ask a question - e.g. if the candidate wants to support Free
    Software in the European Parliament or whether the candidate shares
    our values which we communicate in our "Public Money? Public Code!"
    campaign

Please share <mailto:contact en fsfe.org> your thread with us.


If you contact your candidate, please keep in mind that you are probably 
contacting somebody who is not familiar with Free Software yet and needs 
to be convinced. There are lots of arguments you can use, e.g.:

  * Interoperability thanks to Open Standards
  * Independence through Free Software licenses
  * Collaboration shares risks and costs
  * Transparency by default
  * Involvement of local partners and economy
  * Auditable code

You will find all arguments on our FSFE website <https://fsfe.org>, on 
the "Public Money? Public Code!" campaign website 
<https://publiccode.eu>, or in our new brochure 
<https://fsfe.org/campaigns/publiccode/brochure>.  If you have any 
questions, please feel free to contact us <mailto:contact en fsfe.org>.

Here are some general hints and tips:

  * try to use your own words and do not copy and paste to much
  * try to use a non-technical language where possible
  * think about which arguments suit which candidate; economic arguments
    may fit better with candidates who care about the economy,
    fundamental rights or IT security arguments may fit better with
    digital rights experts
  * do not get upset if a candidate will not follow your arguments, stay
    calm and try another argument or contact another candidate.  There
    are many who are interested
  * always be polite

Thank you for your support!

Best regards,
Alexander Sander
