So who wants to get a head start on November?

Want to help out good Democratic candidates in red areas of California?   Know how to use the VAN voter datatbase system?  Know how to set up precinct walking packets?  Want to put those skills to use?  You can start this saturday with a morning training in Sacramento, followed by canvassing for Charlie Brown or Bill Durston.  The latter candidate is the one I spoke to several people about at the June meeting.  In case it wasn't clear, large parts of the Congressional 3rd District overlap with Joan Buchanan's fight in the 15th Assembly District...

Saturday, June 21, 9:00 -3:00 PM - Precinct Walking. Join Bill and Diane and other Durston for Congress supporters on Saturday, June 21, for a morning of training in how to reach out to persuadable voters, followed by an afternoon of precinct walking.

The morning training session, which is being sponsored by the Democratic Party of Sacramento County, is being held from 9:00 AM to noon at the Central Labor Council meeting hall, 2840 El Centro Road , in Sacramento . The training session will feature a presentation by Donnie Fowler, a noted expert in grassroots organizing. Following the training session, we'll be doing actual precinct walking for the Durston for Congress campaign from about noon to 3 PM.

Contact Durston for Congress Field Director Bill Lackemacher by email or by phone at (916) 812-1794 if you'd like to participate in the morning training session, the afternoon precinct walking, or both. Bill can set you up with a voter list and other materials you'll need to walk precincts for the Durston for Congress campaign.
