Some folks will feel intimidated if all they see when arriving at their polling place is a bunch of grumpy Republican opponents. As cheerful, warm, friendly poll greeters outside the polling place, we are there to make our fellow Democrats feel safe and supported. It does not take much--a wave, a thumbs-up, or a piece of leftover Halloween candy can make all the difference. We want to have a strong presence at the Madison, Radiant, Oak Park, Rochelle and Wolftown precincts.
You can make it an adventure and bring a friend. You can sign up at a location where you are not likely to run into your neighbors if that is a concern for you.
After you sign up, Annette Hyde, Co-Vice Chair, will contact you to confirm. Shifts are usually two hours, but you can work longer if you wish. Some people like to cover one shift in the morning, have lunch and work another at a different place in the afternoon.
Gearing Up for the November Elections: Join Us Sunday, October 23
Join us for our regular monthly meeting on Sunday, October 23. We’ll meet at Antioch Baptist Church at 1165 Mud Road in Madison. Doors open at 1:00 PM for coffee and conversation. We’ll be discussing changes to our bylaws and an election for a new Chair in January, along with upcoming activities related to the election, including canvassing and poll coverage at the precincts. We’ll be joined in person by candidate Abigail Spanberger and members of her staff, who will talk about what we need to do to make sure this is not the last free and fair election in the US. No, that is not hyperbole.
We still have yard signs for Rep. Spanberger available! Contact Vice Chair Cindy Taylor at ctaylor@capstonestrategy.com and we’ll arrange to get them to you.
Letters to the Editor
Last call for letters to the editor! The final deadline for letters in the Eagle related to the election is Monday, October 24. Please write and share why you are voting for Abigail!
