Optional Selling Point #1:
"Did you know that the U.S. Civil Union Bill will include opposite-gender couples."
Optional Selling Point #2:
"I would like to congratulate those of you that have already been legally united and I encourage you to register your union with The United States Registry of Civil Unions "
Optional Selling Point #3:
Even if Civil Unions are not legal in your area did you know that civil-union-bill.org is encouraging Inaugural Civil Unions because some of the Officiants listed will perform Inaugural Civil Union Ceremonies and when legalized, will renew your vows Free of Charge making it completely official. *
* (With large numbers of Inaugural Civil Unions and opposite-gender couples getting united could just make some elected officials change their minds about Civil Unions.)
BE POSITIVE, POLITE & FRIENDLY:
Remember, You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Be calm, No screaming, obscenities, insults or rude gestures, etc. If you must refer to someone DO NOT use real names, instead use Mr. President, Senator, City Councilperson, etc.
CLEAR SOUND IS CRUCIAL:
If no one can hear it, no one will watch it. Make sure to shoot in quiet environments and speak clearly and project your voice.
DON'T BACKLIGHT:
Make sure light is on your face and not behind you -- i.e. don't sit in front of a brightly lit window.
TITLE & TAG YOUR VIDEO:
Use the title "U.S. Civil Union Bill" and include your name and location -- ex: "U.S. Civil Union Bill: Blaine in Atlanta". Use search tags to describe your video so that other people can find it -- ex: "Happy Couple in Vermont" or "Civil Unions Rock".
