Get Local - Be A Neighborhood Leader
There’s now less than a year until November 4, 2008 - Election Day 2008.
This weekend and next week, please join one of our “Year Out” house meeting events as we begin a new voter contact strategy to elect a Democratic president and Democrats up and down ticket.
Our four field organizers - Robin Van Ausdall, Annajo Sanchez, Kim Phillips, and Daryl Grant - are organizing meetings around the state to roll out a new “Neighborhood Leader” program. We hope that you’ll attend one of these house meetings to learn more about the program and commit to serving as a Neighborhood Leader in 2008.
The work of Neighborhood Leaders is simple - they’ll each talk to 25 voters at least three times before Election Day 2008, and they’ll recruit two more people to become Neighborhood Leaders as well.
But the work of Neighborhood Leaders is also powerful - direct, personal conversations with voters at the door, or on the phone, are the most effective way of communicating with and persuading swing voters. Personal communication works better than TV ads, better than mailers, better than robocalls - it’s the essence of grassroots politics.
Democratic Party field staffers are organizing house meetings all over the country in November to recruit activists as Neighborhood Leaders. By Election Day 2008, there will be 500,000 Neighborhood Leaders nationwide, working to Get Out The Vote and take our country back.
By committing to be Neighborhood Leader in 2008, you’ll make a difference at the local level and you’ll be part of bold national effort. Please RSVP for one of the following house meetings today. If you attend one of the house meetings on Saturday, November 10th, you’ll be able to hear from Congressman Mark Udall, who will be joining the house meetings by conference call.
Thank you,
Pat Waak
CDP Chair
