Organizing for 2008
Since our district votes approximately 80% for Democrats,
registering these
voters
and encouraging them to vote is a HUGE opportunity!

3. Distribute Sample Ballots
We'll be reminding people to vote for Democrats and endorsed judicial
candidates by distributing a sample ballot. These can be picked-up from
covered porches around the district now:
- North of the ship canal: 3663 Carr Pl. N, Wallingford (Ron Aley's home)
- South of the ship canal: 1247 20th Ave. E, Capitol Hill (Harriet
Waserman's home)
Sample ballots will also be included in the "walk packets" available to
Precinct Committee Officers (PCO's) / Neighborhood Leaders (NL's) through their
Regional Organizers (see #4 below.)
If you have time, please canvass EVERY HOME in your precinct so they
know who the Democrats and Democratic endorsed candidates and initiatives are.
Precinct maps can be found here:
