Oct. 11 Fired Up for Philly! NE Canvass (organized by Ari Finkelstein)

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

We’ll be going to NE Philly to register voters and talk to them about Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

To sign up for this trip you MUST send the following to: aribenj@gmail.com

1) name
2) cell phone number
3) what neighborhood you live in
4) if you have a car or need a ride

NE Philly is critical to this campaign. It is an area that went strong for Hillary, and many voters there have not yet come over to Obama/Biden. The Republicans think the area is winnable for them, and it just may be the place where PA is won or lost.

We will leave from NYC at 8am sharp. We’ll get an orientation in Philly at 10am, and knock on doors until 5pm. We will be back to NYC by 8:30pm. Transportation will be a combo of private cars and the Bolt Bus. Round trip costs should be $20-$30.

Looking forward to working with you,

Ari Finkelstein

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Want to bring our neighboring swing state home for Obama? We will work with the amazing field staff in NW/North Philly doing door-to-door canvass, talking to voters about Obama/Biden, recruiting local volunteers, and laying the groundwork for our get-out-the-vote efforts in November.

We will be traveling from Brooklyn in a combination of cars and a chartered bus. I will get back in touch with you about travel options.

To go on this trip, you MUST email me:

  • your name
  • your cellphone number
  • your neighborhood
  • if you have a car and can give rides (how many?)
  • if you need a ride

If you are signing up for more than one person, please include all requested info for each volunteer.

Email: jeanne@brooklynforbarack.org

Unless I get that information from you, I cannot add you to the list. Please put “Oct. 12 trip” in the subject line. Thanks!

Road Trip to Ohio - Columbus Day Weekend (Canvass)

Sunday, September 28th, 2008
Ashland OH is a conservative town in central Ohio. There are some Obama supporters there, and many of the residents do not like McCain….they just don’t know enough about Barack. The progressive movement in town is undermined by the local paper and conservative university. I am looking for people who are interested in driving out (8 hours) or meeting there (it’s an hour from Columbus or Cleveland airports) and lending a hand to the Ohio campaign the weekend of the Columbus Day holiday. I’m encouraged that the town has had a larger Democratic response than they have ever had, but they need our help. We have a place to stay and we will be well fed. We can rent cars or a van, depending on how many people can go. We can drive out/back on different days to accommodate peoples’ work schedules. Please email me with your name/cellphone/neighborhood/whether you have a car or would need a ride so I can contact you. Ellen Enders ellenend@earthlink.net
