Hi Folks!
The Democrats are here! The Democrats are here! Happy Convention Week.
Another successful campaign weekend as we registered Hispanic Virginia voters with a Spanish voter registration forms. Additionally, we had some SuperTrooper Volunteers this weekend who came out both days in the blazing heat to register voters! Special shout out to Barbara, Dwight, Diane, and Wilford for staying full days this weekend to register voters!
Here’s the newsflash of the week, WE ARE BEHIND IN THE POLLS! http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/25/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-poll/index.html
That’s right, Trump has caught up, and we have hit the danger zone. Why is it the danger zone? Because if we wait even a second to go out to register voters or recruit volunteers, we have put ourselves behind. Every weekday and weekend is important, don’t wait till September. Why?
Because the last day to register to vote in the November General Election in Virginia is October 17,2016. In Maryland, the last day to register to vote is on October 18, 2016. In Pennsylvania, the last day to register to vote in on October 11, 2016. If you wait till September, then you have put the campaign a month behind in registering voters in swing states.
Brownie Points!
Can you make it through the full 6 minute video without stopping it? Sexist remarks made at Hillary Clinton by the media.
