Volunteer Newsletter 10/8/10

Campaign News

Senator Coburn endorses Dr. Charles Thompson for 2nd Congressional District! We are so excited about this endorsement! Come January there will be a Dr. No in the Senate and a Dr. No in the House!

Michael Bates wrote a blog about the District 2 race. That photo editing is pretty sharp!

We gained our 100th fan on Facebook! Chase Kime gets a gold star! Since then we've added 15 more fans. Go team!

Precinct walking is in full swing! Reply to this email with your precinct number and we will get you materials and a list. Despite all our technological advances, this is still the most effective method of campaigning!

Campaign HQ has its own phone number now. 918-577-6915 Write it down, save it in your phone, and call us for anything you need!

Look What We Did!

We had 2 meet & greets: Thank you Claremore (Jo Rainbolt, Joyce Dermody, Julie Dermody, Ted & Dee Jones, Anna Bavido, & Bill Flanagan!), Coalgate (Kim Strong), and Salina (Charlie and Jo Williams) supporters! Pictures here.

We were at 4 different community events on Saturday alone! We were at the Holdenville Fall Festival, Deer Festival in Antlers, Chickasaw parade in Tishimingo, and Settler's Day in Muldrow.

Throughout the week we did another 4 community events! Which included Ducks Unlimited in Poteau, GOP meeting in Miami, a visit at New Life Ranch, and A Chocolate Affair in Claremore.

We used up 10,000 push cards! That's just Aprill's estimate from how many boxes she emptied supplying supporters and at events she attended. So, that is the smallest, most conservative estimate. Keep handing them out---we'll get more as we need them!

Dr. Thompson was on the radio twice! 1240 AM out of Okmulgee and 1170 AM out of Tulsa.

I missed out on a lot of volunteer names this week. Please, please send me pictures and names after each event you go to! If you or your event was omitted it was from ignorance, not indifference!

Final Thought

This is Anna Bavido's recollection/paraphrase of something Dr. Thompson said in Claremore on Monday.

Our most powerful weapon, our most effective tool is our mouths. Word of mouth, face-to-face contact is more effective than advertising or being in the media. We HAVE to talk about this race everywhere we go. We have to break through our mental barriers and comfort zone and tell people that they have a choice in District 2. This is the only way to beat Dan Boren's name recognition.
