Grassroots support drives Hope Springs, and our grassroots organizing. No amount is too small (and the FEC puts a ceiling on what we are allowed to accept). Regardless, we would certainly appreciate your support:
We canvass with an Issues Survey that serves as our jumping off point for conversations with voters. We find this is an easy way to begin the canvass season.
