Paul Clements is running for US Congress in MI-6 as a strong progressive who has already been endorsed by Bernie Sanders—and by Daily Kos. His district is now represented by the reprehensible Fred Upton, pawn of the DeVos family, but it is becoming increasingly blue. Won’t you come join me and other Kossacks in a weekend of canvassing to help elect Paul Clements in a great Democratic wave?
Saturday's canvass will be based in Saugatuck/Douglas. We will gather between 1:30 and 2:00 PM at the private residence of a Daily Kos community member just south of Holland for walk sheets, a brief orientation, and to carpool to Saugatuck. (Parking is scarce there on August Saturdays.) We will reconvene back at our staging location for a potluck dinner at 7:00 PM.
Sunday's canvass will be based in Kalamazoo. We will gather for a potluck brunch at 1:00 PM at a private residence of another Daily Kos member in Kalamazoo, then head out with our walk sheets after a similar orientation to canvass from 2:00 to 6:00 PM.
Here are the details:
What: Paul Clements for Congress Weekend of Action!
When: Saturday, August 27 at 1:30 pm and Sunday, August 28 at 1:00 pm
Where: Saturday -- Saugatuck/Douglas. Sunday -- Kalamazoo.
Please note: due to space limitations, each of the potlucks will be capped at the first 20 people to respond -- but canvassing is open to all.
How do you find out more information? How do you RSVP for one (or both!) canvasses? Send me a Kosmail and put yourself on the list. I’ll be happy to send you details about the events, including our meeting places.
This is a win-win-win: you get to meet other Kossacks; you get to have an impact on an important race; you get to take part in meaningful political activism.
Those of you reading this who live in MI-6, MI-2 and MI-3: You may receive a similar email invitation soon. Yes, we are definitely asking YOU—and anyone else within reasonable driving distance—to join the fun. We’re working with the Clements campaign to plan a successful canvassing experience for all, whether veterans or first-timers.
