Oct. 18 Fired up for Philly! NE Canvass (organized by Wrolf Courtney)

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: wrolf@wrolf.net

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,

We will either share the cost of hotel rooms, or get supporter-provided housing. Attendees will also split the cost of gas and car rental.
