Will MP read my SMS /. tweet?
.
One of the MOST useless and irritating question I get in "Order your MP via SMS / tweeter" is "will MP read my SMS/ tweet"?
.
bhai, are you some VVIP that MP will read your SMS? There are 15 lakh voters under one MP and even of 1% i.e. 15000 voters send sms/tweet then MP wont be able to find time to their SMS. So of course, the MP will NOT and can NOT possibly read your SMS with his own eyes or even hire staff.
.
So, pls have some IQ and pls understand that MP will NOT read your SMS / tweet.
.
MP make make SMS-counting server. But chances are high that most CoBhAp will never implement such sms counting server
.
The importance of your sms / tweet is as follows
.
1) First, pls see the FB status which has law-draft you support. If you dont like that law-draft, then pls walk away,. Else, pls see next step
.
2) Does the status have link to a file which has law-draft? If not, then I suggest you walk away. IMO, if law-draft proposer does NOT have time put his proposal in some text / pdf file, then I see no point in accepting his law-draft. If the status has law-draft, then please see next step. Now if proposal is just one line, such as "ban GM / BT crops" or "ban EVEM and use paper ballots" then link to file is NOT needed. But if proposals is some 5-10 line long law or even longer, then file is must. The file can be textfile or pdf file. I prefer PDF file now because whatsapp supports PDF only.
.
3) Next, has proposer given hash of the file? If not, then IMO, pls walk away. I consider hash as MUST. Optionally, draft maker may / should also put .bittorrenthash,
.
4) Now send sms to MP , and sms must have name of proposed law, filehash, optionally bittorrenthash and optionally link to the fb status,.
,
5) Put same tweet to MP and also add @PmoIndia in that tweet
.
6) Share the status which has law-draft on your fb wall. Put the link to tweeter status on your wall.
.
Now. will your MP read your tweet / sms. NO. You are NOT any VVIP and MP has 15 lakh voters below him. And he cant possibly read everyone's sms / tweet
.
So then whats the advantage of sending sms, tweeting, sharing on Fb wall and putting link to tweet on FB wall
-.
As more and more voters put this tweet with hashes and FB shares with hashes, the number of activists who will agree to contest elections on the law-drafts (represented by the hashes will increase). And that will either force MPs to accept these law-drafts against their will OR new MPs. The new MPs have promised the law-drafts along with hashes, and so if they dont print these law-drafts then chances that Mahatma Udham Singh will work to convince them to print these law-drafts will be higher.
.
Let me give example.
.
Say some 1000 voters have sent SMS, tweet and shared post with hash " TcpIndia , 03d83b97a1180fe88cc15bd6fd9771c1b3a551d8 , https://fb.com/ProposedLawDrafts/posts/601331853366124 "
And say some 5 activists are contesting elections with promise that they will print the law-draft TcpIndia with hash = 03d83b97a1180fe88cc15bd6fd9771c1b3a551d8
.
Now say number of voters who have sent sms. tweet, shared increase from 1000 to 1 lakh. Then it is possible that number activists contesting election on this hash will increase from 5 to 20.
.
And as more activists contest election on this hash, more voters will come to know about TcpIndia and more voters may send sms, tweets and fb-shares.
.
And so number of voters may increasee from 1 lakh to few more and that may convince more activists to contest elections.
.
IOW, (sms-sending + tweeting + fb-sharing) and election contesting ALL give positive feedback to each other and they increase possibility that law-draft with code = 03d83b97a1180fe88cc15bd6fd9771c1b3a551d8 will get passed,. .
IOW, your sms to MP with hash, your tweets to MP with hash and FB shares will increase the possibility that law-drafts related to those hash will get passed. But pls dont live under STUPID expectation that MP will manually read your sms, tweet etc or even automate sms-counting in near future.
