It's so hot!
So hot.
But that did not stop us from canvassing for Bob Massie for Governor yesterday. We had a nice day in downtown Pittsfield overall, actually, starting with breakfast at Marketplace Cafe, and ending with...wait for it, an egg cream (does not include egg, people!) and milkshake at Freddie's Place Soda Shoppe (which you know is good because note the old timey spelling of the word "shoppe") and in between, knocking out a turf of 58 doors for the Massie campaign.
Here's a photo of us looking like big dorks and I'm doing something really flattering with my neck.
But I'm glad we took a little time to do this. To quote one guy we talked to, "Well, you did your job because the only name I had heard was Jay Gonzalez."
Today, still hot. But I cranked the AC and made some calls for Danny O'Connor, who is running in Ohio's 12th district, in the last special election of the year. Those of you who did postcards for Danny will recall that Danny will amplify the voters' voices so that Central Ohio can be heard in Washington (inside joke, but the cool kids who did postcards will get it!). This is GOTV time, so we can leave chipper voicemails reminding folks to vote tomorrow and it's really really easy so if you have time, say over lunch or something tomorrow to make some calls, here's a link where you can sign up to call voters to remind them to vote on Tuesday!!!
I would say GOTV (get out the vote) phone calls are really the easiest kind of phone banking. You are really just reminding people to vote. Even if you fall on your face and blubber thru a script, the main point is, tomorrow there's an election. Same goes with GOTV canvassing. You're really just saying, hey, election in like two days, don't forget, you know where you're voting and when you're voting, ok cool... In addition to being easy, GOTV voter contacts are the most effective. So keep that in mind when you are thinking about volunteering for The Last Weekend!
