Hit the phones -- semi-holiday today -- Post office, UPS closed, many home now

[vechorik]

The computer is calling NH this morning, but I'm hitting the phones early because many will be home -- off work.

 

[Okie RP fan]

Keep bumped, very important, everyone.

bump, we need a high turnout to stand a chance!
there's absolutely no excuse to not be calling Iowa right now

We are on NH for now, waiting to see if and when the campaign will switch us over to IA for GOTV calls. They will I assume if we are needed. It may be too early for that still.

 

[vechorik]

I've been on the phone only about 10 minutes and YES, they are home -- several pickups

 

[vechorik]

Lots of pickups today, but I'm also getting worried.
Remember at the end of calling Iowa when people were already "polled to death"
That's what's happening in NH
I'm getting a lot of "I've answered too many polls already" and hang ups.

We're falling BEHIND -- WE SHOULD BE FIRST -- It increases the chances of a completed survey tremendously!
We need more callers! Heck, we should be finished with NH by now!

We could be working on a twice recycled list in NH, so don't sweat it. Remember all those "unavailables"? They are back.

 

[vechorik]

Well, it it's and old list, then maybe I'm doing fine! Got some surveys

I hope the phone gets switched to IOWA -- I'd love to help get out the vote!

What are the phone from home hours? I'm at work and can't check, but I would love to try to make some calls tonight if possible.

Thanks in advance,
Harry

+1 for you!
No sure when it comes on, but the earliest I've called is 10 AM in the state being called (IA and NH).
At night, Nevada time the computer switches to NV at 7 PM their time.

 

[hmochel1992]

Okay great, thanks! Hopefully I'll get out early enough to get a few out to Iowa.

 

[vechorik]

Wow first time that happened.

While calling, a "computer voice" interrupted -- said they need to update the website and to log on again in 20 minutes.

Should be up again about 1:20 Iowa/NH time.

After the football game.. phone.. phone.. phones!

Should be up again about 1:20p EST time.

Standing by...

 

[vechorik]

Computer back up, still calling NH, don't notice any changes. Maybe a new list or something.

 

[vechorik]

NOW CALLING IOWA TO REMIND PEOPLE OF THE CAUCUS TOMORROW!
Important -- please help!

 

[squirekyle]

Iowa is open!

 

[vechorik]

Iowa is open!

YEP -- confirming votes for Dr. Paul and leaving phone messages about time of caucus etc.
IMPORTANT STUFF!
