The campaigns of 2004 have dramatically raised the bar for online activism. Your campaign can utilize the same technology that powered the campaign websites of President George W. Bush, John Kerry, and many others - and you can do it at a fraction of the cost that those campaigns paid to build and maintain their online presences.

According to the latest statistics*, over 75% of American households use the internet on a regular basis. While this percentage may be higher or lower among your current or potential constituency, it is clear that using the internet as a communication and fundraising tool for your campaign has become an absolute necessity.

The Clear Platform complete online campaign package is a product of Aurorian Group, a leader in online marketing solutions. By partnering with the country's most reputable providers, we can deliver in days everything your campaign needs to establish a full web presence. Whether you are an incumbent or a challenger, a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or somewhere in-between, the Clear Platform package can help your campaign raise more money, get your message out, and organize your supporters and volunteers with maximum efficiency.

The Clear Platform package will provide your campaign with the three main components of a successful online presence - a full featured weblog, secure online fundraising, & the ability to send unlimited targeted email to your supporters and volunteers. Read on for a brief overview of the Clear Platform package or click over to the products page now for all of the details.

Your full featured weblog ("blog" for short) can be updated by you and your staff from anywhere - at any time. It's as easy as writing an email! Your site's visual theme will be custom tailored to your specifications.

Click below to see larger samples of some of our website templates. Please note that some packages include fully customized website designs that do not necessarily need to be based on an existing template. However, these templates give a general idea of the functionality that can be included on your site. (the templates will open in new windows).

A static website or a site that is updated only once or twice a month is no longer enough to keep potential voters actively engaged. The most successful sites are updated every day or even several times per day. Tell the voters what's on your mind whenever you feel like it, you'll never again have to wait on a web designer to get your message published to your website. Your campaign can also easily post a calendar of upcoming events so your supporters always know where and when they can help. Post new information at a moment's notice from any computer with an internet connection - from anywhere in the world. Read more about the website component

We also include the ability to easily and efficiently accept all major credit cards directly, as well as PayPal, for online contributions. Don't miss out on the potentially large volume of small donations that may not come to your campaign through any other means. Your campaign's investment in the Clear Platform package can literally pay for itself in a very short amount of time. Read more about the fundraising component

Also included is a full-featured online email list management system to efficiently coordinate your supporters and volunteers and send newsletters to those that opt-into your mailing list from the website. Your campaign will be able to send an unlimited number of targeted emails to your supporters at no additional cost. Don't be forced to pay a bulk emailing service over and over to reach everyone on your mailing list. Send out as much information as you want - whenever you want.

All of your campaign's television commercials can also be posted to your Clear Platform website so potential voters can view them online. This can vastly extend the reach of your message - at a tiny fraction of the cost of purchasing more television air time.

We give you all of the training materials needed to publish your message quickly and easily. You'll never be forced to wait for someone else to post your important updates. Any staffer or volunteer with rudimentary computer skills can pick up our training materials and be publishing to your website in minutes! In the event it is needed, knowledgeable help is only a phone call or email away. We are here to support your campaign all the way to election day. On-site training is also available.

Does your campaign need to publish in multiple languages? No problem! Since you are providing the site's content at the time and place of your choosing, you can publish in as many languages as you want! Spanish translated base sites - i.e. all non blog content, links, etc. - are also available.

Also included in all Clear Platform packages:

Custom domain name registration. Your website will be reachable at www.yourcampaign.com. If you already own a domain name, we can handle the transfer to your new site at no additional cost.

Website hosting (all the way to election day) at one of the world's leading and most reliable service providers is included in all packages. Don't settle for a server in someone's basement - with Clear Platform, you'll never have to worry about your website being unreachable.

Full support via telephone and email from the moment your package is delivered all the way to election day and beyond! With Clear Platform, help is always just moments away.

Much, much, more!
