I first got involved about a month ago, some phonebanking for Jack Conway then a mass distribution of yard signs for Representative John Yarmuth, KY-03, of thousands of signs all over Louisville distributed in just TWO DAYS--it was glorious!
From those humble beginnings it's all gorwn to huge proportions for the Democratic Party here. Follow me over the hump.........
Up dated with links at bottom
Each day I volunteer my time for one or the other candidate, including Greg Fischer, running for Mayor. I got to work, then stop and phonebank, or pick up more yard signs to be delivered.
Anywhere in the City the number of Yard signs of ALL Democratic candidates far out strip the paltry number of Republican Tea party yard signs! Matter of fact, I've seen ONLY 10 Rand Paul yard signs to date!
Yesterday I spent five hours canvassing for Representative Yarmuth, he is very loved throughout our community and all we have to do is to GET OUT THE VOTE!
It was strange, I signed up early last week to canvass yesterday and as of Friday ONLY two more people signed up. But on Saturday morning so many volunteers signed up they had to have TWO training sessions!
This morning in Louisville, KY, Jack Conway and Rand Paul taped their debate at the local Fox station. About 30 of us showed up very early to welcome Jack and NOT ONE Rand Paul supporter showed their face to welcome him!
After the debate more of us went back to the station to cheer Jack when he left. Again NOT ONE Rand Paul supporter showed up!
Now get this, I was actually INTERVIEWED by the local Fox Station as to why I was there! I, of course, plugged the ENTIRE Democratic Party for having the superior candidates and all of our efforts to get out the vote in November!
Get out and work folks! The people are just WAITING to hear from YOU! I promise you they are, they need to be reminded that their votes count and will lead us to VICTORY on November 2--the voters are waiting to be helped in making the decision to VOTE--it's up to us!
Udate: Just returned from Canvassing for Jack! Each voter I spoke to was straight up STRONG Conway supporters! Put in MORE signs for Conway!
Oh, get this guess who showed up in our Louisville and Jefferson County Democratic Headquarters?
GWEN IFILL of PBS News hour! I shook her hand WOW! What a day! Her staff shot Jack Conway talking to us volunteers before we went out to canvass for him! He was GREAT! Rand Paul does not share Kentucky values was the these of his speech he ROCKED!
Many thanks to everyone who is supporting my diary, many, many thanks to ALL those out working to keep our Majority in Congress and to help elect spectacular candidates like Jack Conway for US Sentate from Kentucky!
