Project Victory Phone Banking a Success

Written by: Joseph Medley on Oct 6, 2006 12:24 AM EDT

I'm writing to give a big thank you to all of you who help with our phone banking at Missouri Project Victory last week. I'm forwarding the letter we recently received from the folks at Project Victory thanking us for our effort. All of you who were involved should be proud of the work you did. You should be aware that this effort helps all Missouri Democrats, not just Claire McCaskill. Democratic candidates at all levels use the collected data in their own voter outreach.

Watch your inbox over the next day for information about our plan to repeat last week's success every week between now and the election.

Now, here's the Project Victory thank you letter:


"A big congratulations and thank you to all the GKCDFA members who attended our DFA Monday phone bank night with Project Victory!

Here's what you accomplished:

1,237 Persuasion Calls
203 Contacts
84 Strong Claire McCaskill supporters
37 Voters Leaning towards Claire
51 Undecideds
12 Voters Leaning towards Talent
19 Strong Talent supporters
73 Voters Identified as Democrats
Over 1000 pieces of literature signed
And this was while calling our most challenging subset of voters--those we had previously failed to gain information from.

Again, thank you all for your help….you were able to do 2-3 days work in 4 hours!! Also, thanks to the GKCDFA Steering Committee (especially Paul and Julie), who were instrumental in setting the evening up! This is what Grassroots Leadership and Participation is all about!

However, our job is not done. As of Wednesday [September 27], we will have only 41 days until we elect a new U.S. Senator for the state of Missouri.

We will be trying to contact as many voters as possible in these last six weeks and we need all the help we can get! How can you help:
You can phone bank or do office work at one of our six K.C. area offices….
You can walk in one of our five separate canvasses on Saturdays and Sundays…
You can join our Neighborhood Leader Program and contact voters in your neighborhood!

To set up a time to come and help or to learn about our area locations, please feel free to contact Corey Dukes (cdukes@projectvictory06.org) or a member of the GKCDFA Steering Committee!

See you soon as we continue our quest to put a Senator on OUR side in Washington (and put another Republican in the unemployment line)."
