Precinct Chairs and Activists: Important Senate District 15

July 25, 2010

Lane Lewis is working hard as our Chairman of Senate District 15. In order to meet the objective set out by the Coordinated Campaign for the district he has scheduled a series of trainings/working meetings. These meeting will make it easy for precinct chairs and activists in our district to meet our goals.

 At the first training/meeting you will:

1.    Learn about the coordinated efforts between the HCDP Coordinated Campaign and SD15

2.   Receive your personal campaign tool packet

3.   Receive your VAN log in username and password

4.   Receive VAN training

5.    Receive your personal list of Hard Democrats in your Precinct

6.   Call the Hard Democrats in your Precinct

7.   Receive your personal list of Surge voters

8.   Receive pre-written call scripts for the next several months

 All the dates listed below are working meetings.

 ** PLEASE BRING YOUR CELL PHONE AND LAPTOP WITH YOU. **

These are not merely informational meetings.  You will get essential training as well as complete your work in the time frame given.  Much of this work can be done at home, but the FIRST MEETING is a MUST so you can be trained.

These meetings will be open ended, meaning that if you finish your work before 3pm, you are free to go.  Many, if not most of you, will be able to finish your work sooner than 3pm.  However, if you arrive a little late we wanted you to have a cushion to be able to complete your work.
