GOTV text messages ? . . . . . YES!!!

I closed my thoughts yesterday with posing the question about using text messages from GOTV. The more I think about it. . . the more I think it could work. A website could be a great organizing tool to gather information for text messages to be sent in the future. In addition, this can be used increasingly effectively in student wards. I am not a tech guy. . .but there has to be a way to send mass text messages in a certain area at not cost to the recipient. Its not nearly as high impact as a phone call . .. so lets not pretend that it is (neither is an email folks). . .but it is a creative alternative worth discussing. . . .any thoughts?

I definitely think it is an option worth considering as my arguement goes the more technology gets better so do the ways we do things everyday.

Sorry for being untimely with this response, but I was just going back through and noticed this. While in general it sounds like a good idea, I don't think it will actually work. In order to text message someone you need permission. So likely the people who would sign up to get a text message reminding them to vote would probably be likely to vote anyways.
