Lyle,
Do you
have EVEC materials that pertain to the First District House Race? Sorry I
have been so wrapped up in the auction and the San Francisco trip I may have
missed my cue to get Northwest Iowa people involved.
Have a
good time at the dinner/auction.
Jim
Just a Followup with Great EVEC
News!
Last evening Erin Jordahl, Mike Shaw (who was the voice in
one of our EVEC radio ads) and myself, met at the office for 2.5 hours, and in
that time targeted calls to a list of Sierra Members in County Seat towns in
the 4th Congressional District. These were towns basically “outside” the
existing Sierra Groups. Calling just 2-5 people in each of them we obtained
commitments from 1-3 people in each town who would take responsibility for
200-400 Voter Guides door to door, and to have them complete by October 20.
Today I shipped by Priority Mail 11 packets for a total of 2200 Voter Guides.
They will be distributed door to door in the following
towns:
Estherville, Emmetsburg, Mason City, Decorah, Boone, Nevada,
Story City, Perry, and Winterset.
In addition, 1600 will be taken door
to door next Saturday, 10/19, in Indianola, and probably 1000 in Ames. High
school kids and a few Sierra volunteers are taking 300 to Adel next
Tuesday.
The key was...it was measurable and
doable. And when asked people responded.
Now if the Club Group
Leaders, in Eagle View, White Pine, Cedar Prairie, Cedar Wapsie, Northwest,
Iowa City and Leopold, can pick up the challenge, with about 500 per group, we
will have met all our goals! And that many pieces door to door in one week all
over the state will make a big difference. Isn’t that what we are all about!
Those candidates will notice!
Thanks for helping make it
happen in your Group!
THANKS. THANKS.
THANKS! To Erin and
Mike, and the brand new Sierra Club Volunteers who are making it happen in
their communities!
