Understanding how to use Twitter is important. It’s a 24/7 press conference, and if you’re not using it you need to know how. Well, let us give you the basics:. First, understand that there is importance to “correctness” on Twitter. But look at it from a contextual point of view, rather than that of the content. To clarify this point: misspellings are frequent. They are part of the game. But don’t waste your time apologizing about your “cant”. There are folks who sit on Twitter … [Read more...]

March 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment
So, common sense would dictate leaving this section blank, but we care to turn it off when we feel like it. It's part of the whole "greater good" thing. Everyone at Donehue Direct gets one of these, and we're all about equal opportunities- not equal results. That's the pure Conservative ideal in action. So, meet Wesley. If you know Donehue Direct, he's the first part of that name-brand, and one part of the dynamic Donehue duo that helps innovate politics on a … [Read more...]
You’re a Real Person- Act Like It.

Campaigns and politics are changing. It's the effect of a massive shift in cultural values here in America, and for what it's worth it seems to be a pretty positive thing. In the days of old there was a uniform, professional culture that dominated politics. Dark suits, short hair, plain ties, and no humor were the norm. Corporate culture in America reflected the … [Read more...]

March 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Sometimes chaos and disorder can run rampant here at Donehue Direct. When we've got phones ringing, emails to answer, and deadlines to make one must have someone there to focus the energies, and remain calm. It can be frustrating, but that's where Adam comes in. Adam comes to us from a career in Law Enforcement, and he brings those skills to the table for the benefit of everyone. He's never stressed, never worried, and pretty much an easy going guy with a side of regimentation. He keeps it … [Read more...]
Q&A #10: Sinner, Sinner, Chicken Dinner
March 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment
A Life of Organized Chaos could probably be this young man's memoir title, but while we have him in our clutches, we prefer the title of Social Media Manager to any other. Coming to us last Fall, Robert Sinners has shown a knack for policy and political innovation that helps us build and be on the cutting edge- if we can tolerate his headphone blasting and the right leg that won't ever stop bouncing. It's a decent trade, and has only given us minimal headache to date- and on occasion, something … [Read more...]
Q&A #9: Lindsey Lipscomb Does Her Thang
March 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Hanging with the boys. Some can't, but every Wednesday Lindsey Lipscomb proves she can do it, and do it well. Organized, prim, and proper, she does her thing and competes for keeps as one of the best interns we got. And, she helps prove we're not biased toward the men. More guys just happen to be interested in Politics it seems. But you bring up taxes, national security- anything, she'll turn read and won't close her mouth. She knows her stuff, and that's a fact. So, we were able to catch up … [Read more...]
Q&A #52: Bryan Ortner and The Funky Bunch
March 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Look at that. That's a man on the mission of life right there. Bryan Ortner, to be exact. Bryan comes to us, and leaves us, by always supporting what we do. Recently, he's had to leave us due to some health complications, but that hasn't stopped him from being a soldier for the Donehue Direct brand, and always supporting everything we do. That's a display of loyalty that you can't just pay for these days. So, when we could actually track him down at the quarantine chamber, suit up in our … [Read more...]
