Phonebanking, Fundraising, and Voter Registration

Fellow Democrats,

Sorry for the latest hiatus, but lets be honest it isn't like you all are following this blog religiously anyway. So, in case you've missed out on our latest endeavors, we have had a couple of meetings and have been busy trying to get the information out about the city election. We put on a full court press to register as many students as we could for the city elections before the deadline passed and we successfully registered nearly 100 voters along with the College Repubs.

In addition to that, the Knox County party declared First Friday "College Dems Day" and we were able to bring in quite a bit from fundraising that will allow us to order over 60 shirts to be ready before the election!

Along those line, the attendees were very kind to us and asked if we could help phonebank for Gloria Johnson's State Senate campaign (free food provided) and we accepted. We made over 1000 phone calls in a 3 hour time frame and we got a free meal out of it so it worked out well for us.

Stay tuned for an updated calendar of events as soon as we get around to it and keep watch on facebook as that is where we spend most of our time advertising events.

And lastly, just a reminder that we have t shirts and to qualify for a free shirt, you must have been present for at least 3 of our events (we have had a lot of them and we have a record of who was at what).

That's it! Until next time,
Vote Democrat!
