Sounds like sorority or fraternity pledge week. Haha.
Was anyone else on todays OFA call? Whose doing what on the 21st? Anyone have something set up in Olympia? Let me know. I know the OFA people will be doing something but don't know what yet. Our county party chair was on the call as was another of our national delegates so they will be planning something. You can watch for that on MyBO events and all will be welcome and but that doesn't mean we can't do additional things too.
One thing I will add from the call. Someone brought up that you don't have to go out and canvass. You can contact everyone on your e-mail lists and give them a link to sign the pledge on line which will be very helpful and there is a way to set up a phone bank online and call from home like we did during the GOTV phase so you can participate if you can't get out or if you live in areas where the houses are too far apart to door bell effectively.
Oh and if you haven't signed the pledge please don't forget to do it yourself. Every vote counts.
Someone asked about doing this in high traffic areas. You have a right to stand on a public street corner anywhere as long as you don't block the sidewalk and you should be able to do it in front of public buildings like the library or post office. If you are a college student or know one who would go with you, you could do it in the commons areas on Friday as well. Pretty much anywhere you would be allowed to register voters. If you are going to a meeting that would be appropriate between now and next week you could take hand outs and leave them on the table if you aren't allowed to speak. There is nothing magic about Saturday. That's just the designated day. Feel free to get an early start or do more on Sunday. The budget debate will be going on for weeks. The show of force is the thing not the exact day.
