One More Win: Senator Franken!
Last but certainly not least, Blue
State Digital would like to congratulate its final winning campaign
of 2008: Senator Al Franken of Minnesota.
Truth be told, Blue State Digital has always had a thing for Al Franken. He’s been a BSD client since the very beginning of our company in 2004 – client #5, according to one of our founding partners.
During his days at Air America, we worked with Al Franken on The Great American Shoutout, a coordinated protest in which people would shout “fuhgeddaboutit!” from their windows during President Bush’s acceptance speech for the Republican nomination.
In 2006, we launched his Midwest Values
PAC website to help elect progressive candidates throughout the region.
Long before “Dinners with Barack,” Al Franken told his online supporters
that he’d call anyone’s crazy Republican friend if they donated
$500 to the organization.
Then in 2007, we launched his Senate campaign website, AlFranken.com.
Al Franken is the first celebrity I remember seeing in a BSD office, meeting with our designers and developers about the look and feel of his own site. He also gave my favorite testimonial of Blue State Digital:
“I’d recommend them in a heartbeat, and that’s saying a lot, because when I think about them, my heart beats very quickly.”
On behalf of Blue State Digital, congratulations again, Senator Franken.

“We had a website, but no real organizing tools. I called Blue State Digital and within days, hundreds of screening parties were being created.”
