Getting a campaign office up and running isn’t always the most interesting task, but it makes such a difference to the candidate in the end. So in the last three weeks I’ve spent a great deal of time helping the Siptroth campaign organize its electronic resources – creating/updating databases, generating reports, etc. As I have a lot of experience with this sort of work, I feel I have made a significant impact.
One fun and interesting thing I have done is I’ve also made a MySpace page, “Vets for Siptroth,” to try to rally support for the representative among the local veteran crowd, or at least get the word out to others that he’s really working for veteran’s issues.
What I’m really excited about are our upcoming plans – organizing some visibility or protests when Senator John McCain comes to north east Pennsylvania on July 23, and crowd canvassing and tabling at local music events. Yes, that’s right, McCain is going to be in the area and we’re so taking advantage of that – gathering a bunch of people, making signs, basically making sure as many people as possible know how out of line with mainstream values the Senator is. And hey – maybe we’ll even make the local news and be able to get the word out for on public TV about McCain’s horrible record on women’s health!
