Hey guys, thanks SO much for the great response to yesterday's idea of a Sunflowers for Russ campaign. It looks like we've got enough response to roll with it!
More below...
On Monday morning, when my contact with the florist is back, I'll confirm if we can have a choice of two different selections, five sunflowers or four sunflowers with a small flag included. I'll have them set up an online order form
like this one for Barbara Boxer's roses and I'll (hopefully!) diary again some time Monday with a big thumbs up for y'all.
We also need to come up with wording for a card, if we decide they should all say the same thing, or we can do a message box so you can write your own sentiment.
The delivery date is Monday, April 24 unless I hear that he will not be in his office that day. Ideally we should have a photographer present -- is there anyone here in the DC area that can help deliver the flowers and take (GOOD) photos of him accepting them?
I'm still trying to contact Stacey who did the Roses for Boxer campaign to see how that was arranged -- they had really good media coverage for that. And yes, I'm still fighting a bad cold so I can't think quite straight or talk on the phone at the moment. So any help in any of these areas is greatly appreciated.
That's all I can think of for now... spread the word, everyone!! 8-)
