With the arrival of our Field Organizer, Stan Williams, on Wednesday, seen here on the left, with Regional Organizer Brad Komar, we have really hit the ground running in Franklin County, Missouri. Stan comes to us all the way from Arizona and drove the whole distance with just one hour's sleep, so he looked a bit like a deer caught in headlights when he arrived, but is now in full swing, getting northern Franklin organized into teams, arranging meetings across his part of the county and putting in well over twelve hours a day.
I feel very privileged to have been asked to be a team leader - or something like that - and tonight completed the 84 calls that I started last night, and this after a four-hour stint at the Washington Fair, registering new voters and signing up volunteers. This is beginning to feel like a real campaign and I am very excited about what we are doing, right here in Franklin, a fairly red area of MO.
Tomorrow, we will be canvassing to register new voters, then will continue the recruitment effort, and then on Monday evening, will have an organizing meeting with team volunteers.
We are hitting the ground running, folks, and enjoying every minute of it!
