This Saturday I'll be heading to Poughkeepsie to canvass voters for our very own Brian Keeler and his
people powered campaign to help take back our country by capturing one of the four New York State Senate seats needed to free that body from Republican control.
I want you to come along. dKosser casperr has already signed up to canvass that day. I have room for three more! Read on for details.
We'll leave around 9am from upper Manhattan -- easily accessible on the A and D trains from midtown, Brooklyn, or the Bronx. We can have some coffee at my place and then head up to Poughkeepsie where we'll meet the campaign (all volunteers, and almost all dKossers as well). On the way we should have some material to familiarize ourselves with Brian's positions.
As an added incentive, I'm buying lunch for our crew. So -- transportation provided, lunch provided, an opportunity to help out a real people-powered Kossack who's running for office. Sign up now.
This is ground zero of the resurgent, grass-roots Democratic Party. Brian Keeler is the netroots candidate running in this race. We need you to help canvass this Saturday. If you're interested in coming along, contact me at larrylustig at-sign-goes-here yahoo you-know-what-goes-after-the-dot.
Unlike national politics, you, one person, can make a difference in this campaign. Brian recently went on the air with TV spots produced by his media team (our very own lipris). Those spots cost only $30 per time broadcast -- so if you can't come on Saturday you can send Brian some money to buy a spot (or five, or ten, if you're flush).
This is crunch time, New Yorkers. I know, I know -- move along, nothing to see, I don't want to get involved. But if you've been waiting for the moment to commit -- THIS IS IT. Some day you'll be old (maybe even as old as me) and your children will ask you "Mommy, Daddy -- what did you do during the war to take back our country?" Now is the time to make sure you have something to tell them that will make you proud.
