Election Season

DFAers,

This campaign season is particularly important, and at our last meeting it was emphasized how important it is that we do all we can to get Democrats, and especially the more progressive among our ranks, elected to office.

For that reason, we will not be having our regular discussion meetings in October and November. Instead, we are organizing two times that we will volunteer as a group for the Loebsack for Congress Campaign, and encouraging our members to volunteer for a campaign two additional times on their own.

More information will be forthcoming about our Loebsack Campaign involvement, and about other campaigns for which our members might consider volunteering.

In the meantime, Adam Zimmerman, Field Organizer for the Iowa Democratic Party, has noted that the Loebsack Campaign supports their absentee ballot efforts. He asked me to circulate the notice below to all DFA - Linn County members.

From Adam Zimmerman:
ALL DEMOCRATS NEEDED - IMPERATIVE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING

We are having an absentee ballot courier training this Saturday, September 23rd at 1pm. We will be certifying all potential volunteers to handle the absentee ballots that we will be collecting after September 28th. Collecting absentee ballots is uniquely rewarding in that each ballot picked up is a vote in the bank for our Democratic candidates. We will also be discussing the progress we have made and the strides we will have to make in the next 45 days. This training is a vital step in our campaign. We need all Democrats to be on the same page if we hope to be successful in November. Please RSVP to Adam at azimmermann@iowademocrats.org or 221-1065.


[If you absolutely can not make this meeting please contact Adam to schedule an alternative training time.]
