Steve Poizner for Governor 2010 is pleased to announce its new website and central platform for voter communication at http://www.stevepoizner.com/ today. The new and expanded website includes enhanced ways for voters to communicate with Steve Poizner and learn about his vision for California’s future. Today’s website launch is accompanied by a personal blog entry from Steve Poizner.

Commissioner Poizner strongly believes that emerging social networking tools such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace should be used to create a dialogue between himself and the voters of California. Social networking is a vital tool for enhancing the democratic process and the campaign invites all Californians to submit suggestions on how to rebuild our state. The new website also includes these enhanced features:

Campaign Blog: The website now includes a campaign blog to keep California voters and supporters up-to-date with the latest reports from the campaign. Today’s first post is a personal message from Commissioner Poizner welcoming visitors to the website and urging them to join his campaign to rebuild California’s future. Read Steve's blog post here.

Social Networking: The campaign is today unveiling a new social networking page, eConnect with Steve Poizner, at http://StevePoizner.com/eConnect, where site visitors can add Steve Poizner on Facebook and MySpace, follow Steve’s Twitter feed, and subscribe to the campaign’s YouTube channel. This page serves as the “one-stop” location for all of Steve Poizner’s social networking profiles.

Citizen Endorsements: Every page on the new site includes a “Why I’m Supporting Steve Poizner for Governor” module, which highlights quotes from grassroots supporters outlining their top reason for supporting Steve Poizner for Governor. The website’s “Endorse Steve” page now includes a form for citizen endorsements, as the campaign builds on its list of endorsements from elected officials across the state.

New Site Design: The improved site design includes a three-slide Flash display framed by a header and main navigation bar; a citizen endorsement module which refreshes with new quotes as visitors travel throughout the site; and four “action item” buttons allowing site visitors to sign up as a volunteer, invite their friends, contribute to the campaign and share multimedia content online. The homepage also shows the latest posts from the campaign blog, news items and events, and the sidebar features links to Steve Poizner’s social networking profiles, a “Thank You California” Flash display highlighting grassroots activities, and a brief summary of Steve’s biography.

The campaign invites site visitors to submit feedback on the new site by e-mailing feedback@stevepoizner.com.
