CapWiz for Facebook

Grassroots e-lobbying with social media is becoming more convenient.

Recently the popular e-advocacy portal CapWiz unveiled its subscription only application for Facebook.

Essentially current subscribers to the CapWiz service can (for a fee) access this new Facebook application which will embed the traditional e-mail portal for messaging public officials right into Facebook.  This application could increase the reach of advocates far beyond their membership to the world of Fan pages that draw many non-members and other generally interested parties.

CapWiz is owned by CQ-RollCall Group.  More information on their service can be found here.

Here's the sample screenshot from their website:



This looks like a very useful tool for those who can afford it.

  1. You are right, Facebook advocacy is key in reaching your constituents on where they spend most of their time online. We checked out a variety of providers and found capitol momentum had more social features and pricing that was more affordable for us. Hopefully we will see more tool sets like this in the futre!
