Step 3: showtime!
You've thought out your story, you've built your infrastructure, you've got an exit strategy, it's time to show it to the world! You've been dropping hints that the big ask is coming and today's the day. Your story needs to be fairly long and pull on those heart strings. The more evil capitalist dogs holding you down, the better. It'll take a day or so to get this thing moving so don't get frustrated if you don't get much action right away. Always say that anything helps, but you really want those big fish. There are some very wealthy limousine liberals on DU and that's your target audience. Focus on their comments the most, although the alienated gay cousin that shares your struggles can help build your story, so obligatory thank yous will be needed as well.
