Volunteer Newsletter 10/1/10

Dear Supporters,

Welcome to the premier edition of the Charles Thompson for Congress Volunteer Newsletter! Its purpose is to keep you informed of the impact your hard work is having and of opportunities for all of us to continue to work hard. So, in these emails you will see...
pictures and descriptions of past events
list of upcoming events
latest campaign news and press releases
Please note that we are still working on the look of these emails, so please forgive the simple design. The content is good, which is what counts. The design is coming together, just not quickly enough for this email.

Campaign News

Press release on Boren's recovery-killing vote on Wednesday, September 29th. Please share this with your Facebook friends, forward to your favorite local reporter, or write letters-to-the-editor about it.

In case you haven't noticed, the campaign is going social! This is just another way for Dr. Thompson to hear what you have to say and more ways for you to share his conservative message with your contacts.

Campaign HQ is open and ready to help you help Charles. Yard signs, walking lists, push cards, bumper stickers---whatever you need, they got it or can get it for you! They are at 1929 Betty Jane Lane in Muskogee and open 9-4 Monday through Friday. If you need something on a weekend call 918-683-2012 to set up an appointment.

If Muskogee is too far of a drive for you, contact your Republican county chair. We are keeping them supplied as best we can. Look up your county chair's info here.

Look What We Did!

We reminded people across the state and the nation that the way to fire Nancy Pelosi is to fire Dan Boren by visiting the RNC "Fire Nancy Pelosi" Bus Tour. Here are pictures from OKGOP and pictures on our Flickr.

We created YouTube videos. Thank you Julie Dermody, retired Lt. Colonel Rolly Griffith, and all the other fine citizens you see in the videos!

We walked in the Claremore homecoming parade and handed out flyers before the game. Thank you Ted Jones, Jo Rainbolt, Joshua Bavido, Anna Bavido, Jack Weyler, Josh Dermody, and Joanne Hines!

We hosted a fundraiser in Okmulgee. Thank you Martins for hosting and the many people who gave!

We attended the High Noon Club in OKC. Thank you Bob Dani, H&H Gun Range, and the great members of this group!

This is by no means everything! If you or your event was omitted it was from ignorance, not indifference! Please send to this address any events where the campaign was promoted and the names of the volunteers who helped! Pictures are more than welcome, too!

Final Thought

Jim Martin posted this on the Facebook page. "I love our National Anthem. I love the shameless way tears appear in the eyes of our military as they mourn those who have made the supreme sacrifice. I still feel the burning tears and lump in my throat when we were awaken by the National Anthem being played by Okmulgee's High School Band on the morning after 9/11. Tears of pain for our country’s terrible loss, and yet tears of pride for what this country is all about. I love that I been able to visit nearly all 50 states, and learned that in spite of regional accents, there is one word that everyone says the same, GOD. I love my God and the teaching of my church. I love my country, wife and kids. I love those who wear an American Flag Pin with pride and honor, without worrying about offending some country or group who would in turn destroy us if given the chance. I love that there are men and women of faith with strong conservatives principles, who believe as we do. God Bless America, and my friend Major Thompson!"---Jim Martin
