<p>We have added new social media 'follow' icons to your profile pages. If you included the web address links to your social media accounts (twitter, facebook, google+, linkedin & pinterest) then you will see the new icon buttons on your profile page.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here is a screen shot:</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3038613023?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-center" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3038613023?profile=original" width="569"></img></a></p>

<p></p>
<p>Your social media links must be added correctly for these icons to show up. The <strong>http://</strong> is already provided in the profile question. You must then complete the rest. You can not add @votecitizens for twitter. It must be listed as twitter.com/votecitizens for example. Just replace votecitizens with your twitter name.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/yourname">www.facebook.com/yourname</a> must be included for the facebook icon to work. Just replace yourname with the numbers or words in your facebook profile or page address after facebook.com</p>
<p>IF YOU DO NOT SEE THE ICONS ON YOUR PROFILE PAGE THEN YOU EITHER DIDN'T ADD YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS (click on settings under Inbox, Comments & Friends in upper right box) OR YOU DID NOT ADD THEM CORRECTLY. </p>
<p>If you have any problems or questions please don't hesitate to ask so that we can help you get your new icons set up and working correctly. They make the profile pages look much nicer than simply showing the website address. </p>

District leaders will help to organize and grow our district groups, recruit new members online, help find and recruit candidates online and help share Citizens Party news, Op-Eds, pictures, posts, etc. across the web. The district leader is now the front line of our net roots strategy.</p>
<p>On the group grassroots organizing, recruiting will be done by our local, county or city level organizations. We will be sending out more information about the changes to the district leader position soon. We will be contacting all of our current district leaders to determine if each individual is best suited for the district leader position or another on the ground grassroots position. </p> ANNOUNCEMENTStag:www.votecitizens.org,2012-08-03:6348963:Topic:394302012-08-03T13:45:37.071ZCitizens Partyhttp://www.votecitizens.org/profile/Citizens_Party

<p><strong>NOTICE ABOUT PHOTO UPLOADS</strong>: We have had several complaints lately about some of the photos that members have uploaded for copyright infringement or use without permission. Those photos have been deleted. If you upload photos to this website that are not yours, then you need to get permission and you need to begin citing where the photos came from. We will be posting some fair use notices on some photos/videos, but that is not enough. We are not trying to be difficult, we are trying to protect ourselves. We do not want our site suddenly shut down because members are using photos without permission. </p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>NOTICE TO PENDING MEMBERS</strong>: We have a growing number of pending memberships that include no name and/or no additional information in the profile questions beyond the required zip code. And some of the zip code responses include 000000 or 999999. All such pending memberships remain on hold until additional information is provided or we decline the request after 60 days. Please provide your name or complete some of the profile questions so that we know you are not a spammer. We may be forced to require pending members to complete additional profile questions. We currently have 15-20 pending memberships on hold for various reasons. We would like to get most of these approved, so please help us out by providing further information to your profile.</p> Help us "Pin" on the Citizens Party Pinterest Boardstag:www.votecitizens.org,2012-05-31:6348963:Topic:383932012-05-31T16:23:12.042ZCitizens Partyhttp://www.votecitizens.org/profile/Citizens_Party

<p>We hope to begin taking the first round of photos within the next two weeks. With the rise of photo sharing, posting and copyright issues, we thought that offering some stock images could be of use to our members and also reduce problems for the party and this website. We need to really take this issue seriously and phase out the practice of using images without permission to avoid problems for the Citizens Party. In addition to posting the photos here on votecitizens.org, we will also post them in other locations such as our new Pinterest profile and other social media profiles for easy distribution. </p>
