Canvassing in Keene

by: daveMB

Sat Sep 25, 2010 at 17:52:12 PM EDT


(Great day for it... would have been there, but have all 3 kids to myself this weekend. - promoted by Mike Hoefer)

I did my first canvassing of the season today out of the joint Democratic campaign office in Keene.  Not many people home at midday on a beautiful Saturday, but I talked to some and left a lot of Hodes and Kuster lit.  Central Keene is pretty heavily covered with Kuster lawn signs, and the Kuster staff has a running start from the primary campaign.  (I had read on this site about their top-notch grassroots organization, and had that opinion confirmed today.)

Today there were not the dozens or even hundreds of canvassers that showed up for Obama every Saturday in the fall of 2008.  If you can do something about that, I wish you would.  I volunteered through kusterforcongress.com and a staffer phoned me within a few days and got me signed up to canvass today.  They will be out every Saturday and Sunday for the rest of the campaign.  If you are in SW New Hampshire or the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts, for example, this is your best chance to influence very close races for both the US Senate and US House, and get two very good people representing New Hampshire.  

Canvassing is good exercise, more fun than phonebanking, and a key way to impress upon a large number of people that there is an important election coming up and that the Democrats are collectively fired up about it.  I hope to see you out there.

Thanks for front-paging! (4.00 / 1)
I wrote a diary on bluemassgroup asking for volunteers from MA and it was just front-paged there:

As you're no doubt all being reminded by email, before 30 September is also a good time to give money if you can spare any.
