What about candidates?

The MAYDAY leadership team is presumably deep in consideration about its original plan and strategy and about what MAYDAY will do on the candidate front for the 2016 elections.

The "candidate front" has possible choices of MAYDAY very passively identifying candidates MAYDAY thinks should be supported, or, alternatively, MAYDAY publicizing MAYDAY and its goals in ways that induce candidates or potential candidates to take up the MAYDAY cause or take it up more vociferously.

In terms of its plan and tactics on the candidate front, MAYDAY has the "coordination" limitation to accommodate to.

MAYDAY supporters of course will be very interested in what the MAYDAY leadership team decides for MAYDAY's plan and tactics on the candidate front.

Whatever the leadership team decides for MAYDAY, it would not seem harmful for MAYDAY supporters to be active on the candidate front in their own ways, and it would seem that it could only be beneficial.

MAYDAY supporters, in their individual capacities, would seem to be less constrained by, and may be completely free of, the "coordination" rule. This could be a material advantage for MAYDAY supporters to help advance MAYDAY's goals.

I have advocated that MAYDAY supporters be aggressive in interfacing and interacting with candidates and potential candidates. I continue to advocate that at this start of the 2016 cycle.

Last week I tweeted to MAYDAY's 2014 candidates and to other 2014 candidates who were followers of MAYDAY or who had expressed notable support for CFR. My tweet gave a link to Roy Cho candidacy: Root problem vs. multiple issues and solicited comments the candidates might have.

I hope much interaction with and among candidates develops as the 2016 election cycle proceeds. I hope other MAYDAY supporters will participate in and abet this.
