36. I'm in several groups that use it to get information out.

We use it to get volunteers for voter information booths. We use it to spread factual information about candidates,causes, ballot amendments,etc. We've live streamed town halls for local candidates. We receive several messages through messenger every day from people wanting to know where our headquarters is or how much a yard sign costs.

Facebook sucks. I know for fact. I'm on a 3 day ban for calling someone a walnut who threatened to sodomize me. Right now Facebook is the place where we have more public contact for our local races than any other site. It just is.
