IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ENTIRE CONCEPT BELOW
Right now I want proposals on phase 1 which is gathering data using python
Using Python and BeautifulSoup
We are in need to scrape the web and gather data for as many people that have joined political groups on Facebook
or are active in FB groups of various causes
we need to categorize them in 3 categories
1. Democrats 2. Republicans 3. Independents
Example FB groups by doing simple google searches
https://www.facebook.com/denverdemocrats/
https://www.facebook.com/denveryoungdems/
https://www.facebook.com/coloradodems/
https://www.facebook.com/DenverGOP/
https://www.facebook.com/DenverMetroYoungRepublicans/
https://www.facebook.com/JeffCoRepublicanParty/
https://www.facebook.com/coloradohispanicrepublicans/
There are hundreds of political groups on Facebook where people discuss politics, causes, campaigns, platforms
We need software that can begin capturing all this data .
Once we have data we are going to put people in categories as follows:
1. Hardline Liberal
2. Somewhat Liberal
3. Independent
4. New Era thinker but leans Republican
5. Core Conservative
Methods for seeing a simple search for Democrats and Republicans (see attachments 1 for republicans 2 for democrats)
For independent voters it will be trickier because they by nature do not join up for causes but there
are tricks to find them too
1. They are not Republican
2. They are not Democrat
3. So we would do searches like the third attachment (colorado start ups)
this is phase 1 of a 3 phase project
phase 2 will be getting all this data more refined
phase 3 will be having the ability to message to different groups.
This is a job that will require a lot of work, the budget for all 3 phases approaches a number somewhere between
40,000 and 75,000 depending on how awesome the software is and how much money I can raise.
Right now I want proposals on phase 1 which is gathering data using python
We are going to need to deploy a variety of strategies for phase 3
- social listening
- email marketing
- sms marketing
- quizzes
- polls
- twitter bots
- and integrate with Linkedin, Nextdoor, Meetups etc
This is a positive campaign used for public good like pew research
Before quoting familiarize with this type of research group

Can you confirm whether you have to use Beautiful soup or if you have considered using the Facebook Graph API? I have excellent experience in both..
