Barry Welsh to Unveil Web Site, Announce Fund Raisers at Indiana Democratic Club Statewide Picnic
CONNERSVILLE – Indiana 6th Congressional District Democratic candidate Barry Welsh will be speaking at the Indiana Democratic Club Statewide Picnic in Indianapolis Tuesday, September 28th, in Ft. Harrison State Park at 6pm EDT. At that time Welsh will report that his campaign website at www.barrywelsh.org is live on the internet and will announce the first two fundraising events that will take place in his campaign to replace current Representative Mike Pence (R-Columbus).
The website was designed by Webpolitechs' Ed Grysiewicz, a veteran web designer who has also designed the website for the Richard Young gubernatorial campaign here in Indiana. The website is designed for maximum functionality and ease of use and has links to the numerous social-networking sites that are being utilized by the Welsh campaign this cycle.
One of the sites linked to from barrywelsh.org is our new host page set up on BlogTalkRadio.com where Welsh will host a weekly 15-minute live-streaming audio show every Tuesday at 12 noon EDT entitled Barry Says. We will be using this weekly show to discuss hot topics in the campaign and to allow Barry to talk about these issues with his guests as the campaign progresses. Every show will be archived and podcasts will be made available via iTunes, RSS feed, and automatic playback via the host page's embedded audio player, which will play the last show recorded each week for page visitors.
The first event Welsh will announce will be a combined public event and online blograiser this Saturday, September 1st, on FireDogLake.com. Barry will engage in a question and answer session via the comments' section of an article introducing Barry to the community at the FireDogLake, Crooks & Liars, and DownWithTyranny blogs that promote the Blue America series events every Saturday at FDL. FDL founder Jane Hamsher will host the Q&A with Barry in the comments.
We will be combining this with a public event being held at Paradise Bakery's Castleton location in Indianapolis this Saturday from 2-4pm. The public event will feature Barry live in person taking part in the chat session at FDL which will be displayed via digital projector in the café area of Paradise Bakery. Paradise Bakery has free wifi high-speed internet available to its customers, and we encourage folks to bring their laptops and connect to FDL for the session to communicate with Barry during the chat.
We will also be announcing our next fundraiser, Green Night, a screening series to be held at a different movie theater in our district each month where we will be showing a different film significantly related to the issues raised in our campaign. For September, we will gather in Indianapolis at the Landmark Keystone Arts Cinema at the Fashion Mall, Keystone at the Crossing. This event will be held on Thursday, September 27th, between 7:30pm and 10pm for a screening of An Inconvenient Truth. We will have more details soon about these monthly-screening fundraisers.
