A win for Lawson is a win for us all

OK - just got back from the polls, we are still doing good and turning the swing vote. No sign of any GOP folk out front, but the dem friends I've made are helping.

One guy in particular takes the last position and consistently gives Lawson a plug. (and since he found out I am grassroots supported he has been bringing me lunch). This is his 14th campaign and knows we have a good chance, as long as we can keep the enthusiasm, man the polls, and make the calls. We had an interesting conversation today and he explained how David Price has managed to remain in office all these years despite his record of supporting corporate/special interests and neglecting his constituents. We talked about the challenges we will face if we win and how to insure future wins regardless of the outcome. He wants us to contact him well in advance of future campaigns...

Next up is our need for volunteers. We really could use more phone bankers and more semi local poll workers for 11/4. We cannot afford to fly people in, we cannot afford to rent cars, we can shuttle people around and I would be happy to share my room with anyone who comes a distance. We will be providing food and water to those that work the full day.

Here is BJ's wife, Jolynn helping make food packs for the volunteers, sorry for the crappy pic quality...

About the only real perk will be an invite to the victory party (and the satisfaction of knowing you have worked for freedom.) I can assure anyone that the act of causing political pain to the establishment is worth more than any perk I have received in my 18mos of campaigning. Please help,

Thanks
 
I am calling for donations tonight. So far, it has not gone well. If anyone has any advice, please PM me.
 
bggie08,

Dont call for donations. It is getting to the point where that is too late. Call for GOTV instead.
 
Hey RPH,

I'd love to hear more frequent updates about how the ground-game is going out there. We love to see pictures, videos, and hear stories about campaigning on the ground. If not you, see if BJ can give us a late-night update.
 
Will do. I was just thinking of a video to make with BJ, at the moment he is pumping up a volunteer who had to deal with one of Price's DC staffers lying at the polls today.

Understand that we are very busy here...

:D
 
Oh we definetly understand. Given the option between convincing ONE voters to vote for BJ or keeping us updated--go for the voter.
 
I've been working the early polls here in Orange county for the past 16 days or so, and today, in Carrboro, a member of the Price Campaign shows up. I've only seen a Price campaign member once before (i don't count the Orange County Democratic party ladies). But this member wasn't just an ordinary member but was Price's WIFE!! I believe we are indeed giving them a scare.


One of the ladies from the OCDP said she had been urging the price campaign via emails to combat us at the polls, and a flurry of telephone calls were flying this morning. of course, Mrs. Price didn't show up till 11am on the last day of early voting, and the polls closed at 1pm....

Yes, we are swinging the vote by just being there, and causing some serious political pain to the entire establishment. It will be due to these efforts that we win this thing. Some good news is that over 50% of the voters have been to the polls already and we have had every early voting place covered :) That is why we are strongly requesting help for the additional 175 new locations that will open up for election day. If anyone knows anyone that may want to help. Please call them and have them get in touch with us. We have approximately 40% of the precincts covered at this point and are working our tails off to get as many as possible.

And yes, BJ is still out there pressing flesh

GO LAWSON!!!

GO GRASSROOTS!!!

FREEEEEDDOMMMMMM!!!!!
 
I thought that video footage of him handing a constitution to each person in line was awesome. Man, I would be way too lazy to do that.
 
BJ is really wokring hard, and I know huge upsets are possible b/c my Representative upset a long term incumbent in 2006 with a last weeak surge
 
Hard to believe when the North Carolina results come pouring in, I'll be more interested in watching the Price-Lawson race than the McCain-Obama one in North Carolina.

Yeah, this will definitely be the most exciting election night I have ever watched. I really hope the best for all liberty minded candidates.

Things are going well here today, we are having some luck with filling poll slots.
