I got an e-mail yesterday for a fundraiser in RockHill, SC
DNC Chairman Tom Perez
Governor Martin O’Malley
The Honorable James E. Clyburn
ALONG WITH
DNC Associate Chair and Counselor Jaime Harrison
SCDP Chair Trav Robertson
Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers
for a reception in support of
Archie Parnell
Democratic Candidate for U.S. House of Representatives SC -0 5-- Special election
So I decided I would driver down there & check it out.
I got there 5 minutes before Martin Arrived.
Then Martin walked up & started talking to the crowd. He would ask their names and stand to take pictures with anyone wanting one !
Martin talked about Acrhie’s background a little. He said Archie’s Father was an orphan ! That Archie worked hard & got an education. Archie graduated from Sumter High School and earned bachelor and law degrees from the University of South Carolina. He worked as a tax attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice and for the House Ways & Means Committee under Democratic leadership.
Martin also talked about the reward of knocking on doors and meeting people in your community.
These to guys are volunteers from Rockhill talking to Martin
This is DNC Associate Chair and Counselor Jaime Harrison who during his little speech said he was the first in his family to Graduate College with a Bachelor degree with the help of a Scholarship & Pell Grants !
Here is Tom Perez who talked about Albert Einstein, Tom said Albert talked about politics being a gyroscope & how it would wobble along unlit it righted itself. Tom said we are wobbling & wonder how much more we can stand it before we righted the political ship. Tom also said the GOP spent 2 million dollars getting 39 k people to vote in the primary. That if Democrats worked hard & got 50k voters to the poll for Archie he would be going to DC
I talked with 2 of Archie’s people while I was there. John who was the head guy at this rally was interested in People to help phone bank to get the message out.
Patrick was looking for Canvassers, I’m waiting for an e-mail address for Canvassing & I’ll post it when I get it.
archieparnell.com
So Archie has 17 days to get his message out,
I hope there is kossacks out there that will jump on Archie’s phone banking and if you are close enough to canvass they would like that also.
I have tried several times to figure out how to post an actblue link that doesn’t link to me. DAM if I can get it figured out !
