San Antonio Young Democrats

Election Day is in 8 days.

We have 8 days left to ensure Lamar Smith will be in a run-off, and not Congress, on November 8. On Election Day, November 7, John needs 2 people working each our 50 most heavily-trafficked polling places. John needs 25 people on the phones all day, calling Democrats and telling them to go vote. And he needs 25 people out knocking-and-dragging, getting Dems to the polls. We need not rest until the polls close at 7pm on Election.

We are dividing the day into 3 shifts (whether you are working the polls, phonebanking, or blockwalking): 7am-11am, 11am-3pm, and 3pm-7pm. Pick the shift that works best for you and tell us, or work the whole day. In addition, REGARDING THE BLOCKWALKERS, WE ARE PAYING 25 BLOCKWALKERS $7.50/hr each. (These block-walkers will be walking high Democratic precincts and shuttling Courage supporters to the polls).

We have already gotten commitments from many people: volunteers who have been with us from the beginning; people who haven't found the time to give throughout the campaign, but realize Election Day is a last crucial chance to make a difference; students who have class in the morning but can help during those last, heavily-trafficked hours of the day; professionals who are using their legally-allotted voting time to work the morning shift (because they voted early and don't need it!); seniors who are giving up their lunch hours to work at a polling place; people who are responding to the DNC's suggestion to take the day off. But we need all of you.

The Courage campaign office is next to the Revolution Room across the street from Rebar. It’s close to those bars on Broadway you go to from time to time.
