Campaign Update

Wow. Long time since the last post. Almost a whole month! I have been extremely busy with school, but now it's parents weekend so I have a little down time. I figured this would be a good time to write a few posts.

A little over a week ago I spoke in Assembly at School (weekly all-school meeting). I talked about how young people need to become more involved in politics. I got to speak directly before Deb Reynolds. I think I might have stole her thunder; there's only one generic speech that politicians can give to young people you know (go out and vote, get involved, etc.). Everyone congratulated me for doing a good job so I guess it was a solid performance.

The past couple of days I have been trying to catch up with all this campaign stuff. I sent out my first mass mailing (I had a few small targeted ones earlier on). Just under two thousand postcards were sent out to all the PO Boxes and Rural Routes in Thornton and Woodstock. They are very high quality glossy postcards. I think they make a good impression.

Looking ahead at the final stretch there are a couple of things to take care of. First of all, anyone want to help do some door knocking/literature dropping the next two weekends? Probably the next two Sundays would be the best times. I will probably go all day; you can join for whatever amount of time. Secondly, I have just started the process of making a list of volunteers to come to the polling places on election day to hold signs. Election day is Tuesday, November 7th. If you wanna help out then send me an email at Tyler@VoteStearns.com or send me a message on AIM - Afookanack.

Check out the Plymouth Record Enterprise for a story on me coming out soon. Also check the Enterprise and the Littleton Courier for my advertisements.

In Libertate,
