GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE: IT MIGHT COME IN VERY HANDY LATER!

We hope that many of you have latched onto a 2006 campaign, be it a US Congressional race or one in your state or local community.  If not, it’s still not too late!  You are needed now for the most important activity of all—getting out Democrats to vote!

Here we offer a reminder.  If General Clark decides to run for President in 2008, one of the most important roles for his supporters will be making contacts with lots of people, including those who already have active positions in Democratic politics.  These folks would include your local Democratic County and State Committee members, any DNC members who live close by, and, of course, all elected officials and any other “superdelegates” to the DNC Convention.  
RIGHT NOW is the best time to get to know more people!  Introduce yourself at a fundraiser or while working in the campaign office or walking your precinct.  One Clark supporter recently volunteered to stick labels on mailings and sat right next to another volunteer who just happened to be her state senator. They went out to lunch afterwards to discuss issues and the 08 race.  Another friend went up to talk to the well-known speaker after an awards dinner, and they have been exchanging emails ever since.  

So, new friends and acquaintances are to be made here, and these contacts will be very valuable in the future.  We will tell you own stories tomorrow and ask for yours.
