From our friend Jim Nichols. Sounds like a great effort! Please help out if you can.
Hello all. I've been speaking with some of you about our efforts locally in Fayette County to get Kevin Madden the 50% + 1 vote he needs to win on December 18th. We have been phone banking for over two weeks now. Its been a core of 6-8 with a number of people coming out as they could. As we move from ID'ing voters to working on GOTV turnout we need to reach out to you our friends and neighbors. For a special election just before Christmas its going to take all we've got to inform people their is an election, their is a Democrat running, and oh yeah come out and vote December 18th. We have set up a number of upcoming events. We are canvassing supporters we've located in our phone banking efforts. We will be going out on this Saturday the 8th. Meeting up at the Peachtree City Starbucks at 8:30 am to canvass in two three hour shifts 9am-12 and 12-3pm. We will be finishing up our phone banking at the Starbucks with cell phones between 9am to 3pm for those who don't want to canvass. Or would like to do one shift on the phone. We will be knocking on doors of 1's and 2's, handing out material on Kevin, reminding about early voting locations, and inviting to a pre-election volunteer appreciation night Sunday the 16th between 7:00-9:30 pm at a local restaurant/bar. Please let friends, family, and coworkers know about our efforts and volunteer opportunities. Attached is the most updated info on dates and times for the GOTV effort. We just need more volunteers!
I am working on setting up two metro Atlanta phone banking efforts for those who can't make it down to help out in the 72nd. On Saturday Dec 15th we will be phone banking in Atlanta between 5:30-8:30pm. The venue is unconfirmed yet but if you have locations email me. Also I'm trying to work out Tuesday 12/11 between 5:30-8:30pm but location is unconfirmed yet. Also i'm taking the day off election day--anyone who is off or works in the evening is welcome to help with the election day reminders on December 18th. Any thoughts, ideas, or tips shoot my way. Or come out to the year end DFA event I've set up (but done a poor job of promoting!) from 6:30 to 8:30pm at Manuals this Friday (ahhh thats tomorrow!!). I do apologize for any dates/times/locations unconfirmed. Please get in contact if you are interested in signing up for a shift or can help in any way shape or form. Jim 12 days to go...--
