Progressive Democrat Issue 82: NY FOCUS
Here are events covering a variety of efforts for NY State and surrounding areas. Your participation in these events could help ENORMOUSLY in winning in November. Even an hour or two of your time can make a huge difference.
Target PA -- Sack Santorum
Sunday, July 16th AND Sunday, July 23rd, 3:00 - 8:00 PM
Central Park Cell Phone Banking
Southwest corner of Sheep Meadow (east of 66th and Central Park West)
We'll be making Voter ID and Education calls using high quality campaign lists. We're helping lay the groundwork for the defeat of Senator Rick Santorum, one of the nastiest and most politically vulnerable senators of the extreme right. At the same time, we'll be working to defeat Republican Congressman Jim Gerlach, who took $30,000 from Tom DeLay's political action committee. Gerlach is considered to have one of the nation's most competitive challengers in Democrat Lois Murphy, who lost her 2004 race against Gerlach by just 2%. We're going to do our best to help Lois win.
Please bring a fully charged cell phone if you can. If you don't have one, let us know so that we can have extras handy.
If bad weather looks likely the morning of the event, we'll post an alternative indoor location on this page, and on our voicemail line, 212-714-7125.
Seize the State Senate
Wednesday, July 19th AND Wednesday, July 26th, 6:15 - 8:45 PM
Landline Phone Banking
420 Lexington Ave (at 43rd St), Suite 360
Bring photo ID to sign in at front desk.
Please arrive on time for orientation.
What will we be doing? We're going to be using landlines to do low-pressure Voter ID calls to dramatically increase Democratic voter turnout in the most competitive State Senate races. This is a great way for first-time callers to get started.
Why care about the State Senate? If you care about fair elections, education, transportation, the environment, healthcare, security, and other major issues in New York, you should care a lot about winning back the New York State Senate. Now that reformer Eliot Spitzer is likely to be New York's next governor, it's even more important to have a Democratic legislature in place.
Can we win? Yes, we can. We’re just four seats from Democratic control for the first time since the mid 1960s. No, that’s not a typo: the 60’s. We need to take full advantage of popular outcry this year and overwhelm them with volunteer turnout.
