Do you live in New York? Are you a Democrat or at least progressively minded? Do you bitch and moan about our elected representatives (along with us all)? Well even though the Presidential elections are over a year away, there is something you can do right now and in the next three weeks. Come help and get out the vote for 2007! Believe it or not, there are important races going on right here in New York this coming November.
From The Daily Gotham:
Dave Pollak just emailed over as follows:
The 2007 Elections are only 3 weeks away, and we need your help to guarantee Democratic success in critical races across NY State! Not only are we working to elect great Democratic candidates right now, but their victories will help build towards future Democratic victories in 2008 and beyond.
As you know, the NY Dems are hosting weekend canvassing on Long Island and weeknight phonebanking in Manhattan from now until Election Day, November 6. Our Long Island Political Director, Lauren Corcoran-Doolin (laurend [at] nydems [dot] org), has additional information about canvassing/phonebanking dates, places and times, or you can contact Claire Silberman at claire.silberman [at] gmail [dot] com with any other questions or comments. There are critical volunteer needs upstate as well so please contact our Upstate Political Director Cathy Calhoun at cathyc [at] nydems [dot] org to get people plugged in outside of the NYC area.
This brings me to a related subject: we all love to bitch and moan and complain about how bad the Democrats are, and all the many ways, large and small, they disappoint. I do this regularly and, frankly, with cause. Two words: Noach Dear.
So come one, come all and get out there and phonebank, canvass and all those other good deeds so that you can help get good Democrats elected next month. I'll be putting on those boots to phonebank and even a little canvassing too (Long Island isn't that far). I hope to see lots of you out there as well.
