Washington 45th LD for Obama

Things You Can Do To Help

We need volunteers to help organize the hundreds of delegates and alternates in the 45th LD. If you are willing to be responsible for contacting the other delegates and alternates in your precinct, please contact Rita and Jeremy and we'll get you connected.

We're setting up a phone tree, so that we can quickly get information out to all of the delegates and alternates. There are two volunteer roles that you can take that will help with this:

Precinct Captain: Your job is to pass along information to the delegates and alternates in your precinct. Depending on the size of your precinct, this might be anywhere from 4 to 16 people. You'll also need to get corrected contact information from people and look for volunteers.

Area Captain: You'll be responsible for all of the precincts that caucused in one location back in February. Your main job is to find a precinct captain in every precinct. Also, you'll consolidate updated contact information and volunteer lists from your precincts, and get those to Rita and I who are organizing things across the LD. You also need to help your precinct captains with any questions, and pass along any suggestions or difficult questions to Rita and I.

Pick up the phone and call prospective voters in upcoming states! It's an easy way to put any free evening/weekend minutes or spare anytime minutes from your cell phone plan to work for Obama.

Abbott Smith is working on a custom button for the 45th LD caucus, and Nancy Abdel-Wahed is going to collect money to pay for the buttons. Meanwhile I'll be ordering some rally signs for the caucus. Contact meif you'd like to help, and I'll connect you with the appropriate people.

The 45th LD Democrats need your help preparing for and running the caucus on April 5th. Attend their General Meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at 7pm, at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, 16600 NE 80th St, Redmond, for more information on what's going on.

A big part of Obama's message is that we have to take a greater role in civics and government if we expect to achieve the changes inspired by the audacity of hope. Start thinking about what issues are most important to you, and ways that you could have an impact locally. Discuss this with other supporters in your neighborhood. Watch this space for more ideas, but here's one to get you started : it's not just special interests and political organizations that can lobby state representatives and senators in Olympia. Regular citizens have that right as well! If we form some Audacity of Hope interest groups on specific subjects, we could research specific legislation, pick an appropriate date, car-pool to Olympia and go lobby our representatives and ask them to do the right thing! If you'd like to get something going on this type of thing, I suggest joining the45th LD Obama Group and starting a discussion.
