[Talk-us] Contacting high-impact undecided users in the US

I've been looking through the list of undecided users for the US [0],
and have noticed that many at the top of the list haven't been
contacted, at least according to the wiki [1]. How about we make a
concerted effort to work our way down the list, exhausting search
engines and social networking sites to find other ways of contacting
them? I think using the existing wiki list [1] would be too much, so
perhaps we can create a separate page to document the progress.

Does anyone have a better template email than the one on the wiki? Of
course we should mention specifically where they've edited, perhaps
using the heatmap to make this easier [2].

For starters I tried to find one of the users, David Speakman, and
after a bit of searching have found his LinkedIn page, two domains
registered to him, from which I got his email, phone number, and
address. Anyone familiar with Mountain View, CA or Fort Wayne, IN (his
two big edit areas) willing to contact him? If so I'll send his info.
