"email your leaders" and petition modules. Functionality for contacting your MP / congress member, signing e-petitions

I'm looking for modules that do the following 1) "email your leaders" function. Allowing users to send a standard or customised email to their political representatives. The correct political representative is identified using a zip code / post code search. New email campaigns can be set up fairly easily. 2) a basic petition signing module. Users simply enter a name and email and are then recorded as having signed the petition.

Can someone point me to a module or combination of modules that do the above. Thanks in advance for your help. Alex

Design Initiative: Narrowing the use case - who are our users?

To scope this discussion - this is about our new core theme for Drupal 8 and who it will serve, and how they will use it.

Its not possible to design and build something that will suit everyone, so we have been working on narrowing it down to identify who might use our new core theme and what their needs might be.

I have expanded on this and tried to think about skill-sets, constraints, features and what type of sites might they be building.

Revolutionary Drupal: Coding and Supporting Social Change - DrupalCon BoF

At Drupalcon? Join us Thursday 12-1PM in the Erie meeting room for Revolutionary Drupal: Coding and Supporting Social Change

Technology doesn't drive social change, but it is one tool used -- from the streets of revolutionary Cairo to community organizers in Detroit. Can we help support these social change movements with Drupal? Are there ways we can code and structure Drupal projects to make them more useful to activists? Does Drupal have a role in protests and strategic direct action?

This session will be an open discussion for those working around social change, case studies of using Drupal, and brainstorming for ways we could collaborate or support Drupal projects that support social change.

BSD Tools integration with Drupal

Hi folks,

I wanted to let you all know about a new module we just released that integrates BSD Tools, Blue State Digital's CRM system, with Drupal. Many of you know BSD Tools from its use to power My.BarackObama.com, and it's use by other organizations such as the DNC, United Way and NAACP.

You can learn more about the module on our blog at http://ow.ly/3P0ZN. If you want to download it, you can do so on GitHub at https://github.com/socialcontxt/bsdapi.

Let us know if you have any questions.
