Rock the Vote!

Dear Recall Volunteers,

We have a busy weekend ahead of us. It's time to GET OUT THE VOTE!

We also know that you have lives and may not be able to make it to all of these meetings/events. The most crucial task over the next few days is getting the door hangers and yard signs distributed. If your time is limited and you can do only one thing, PLEASE try to make it on Saturday afternoon and bring as many friends and family members as you can rustle up. The more people we have, the quicker we can finish. If you can't make it on Saturday but would be able to help later in the weekend, let me know (some already have) and we will give you the "leftovers" from Saturday.

Friday, April 15 at 3 p.m. - We will meet at my house to work on the yard signs. We have 60 completed and about 140 more to go. Please be working on finding them homes - we don't want any orphaned yard signs.

Saturday, April 16 at 10:30 a.m. - We will meet again at my house to finish any remaining signs and also to hand out door hangers and maps to anyone who wants to start walking neighborhoods early.

Saturday, April 16 at 2 p.m. - We will set up headquarters at Riverview Park in Independence. We'll divide into 9 teams and go out to distribute door hangers and yard signs. The goal is to get all of Monmouth and Independence done this weekend. We will then be able to assess our supplies and energy level and decide whether to try to cover the areas of the district that lie outside the city limits. In studying the voter registration rolls, there are a surprising number of district voters in those areas.

If anyone is willing to write a letter to the editor for next week's I-O, please contact John Boyack (boyack.john@gmail.com) as we are trying to coordinate our efforts.

Our candidate's forum in scheduled for Monday, April 25, 7 p.m. at the Independence Public Library. We will be sending the candidates a list of possible questions in advance so if you have suggestions for questions that you would like to hear answers to, please forward them to me no later than Tuesday, April 19th.

I will be forwarding you another email from Jill. She wrote a letter to be sent to everyone in her email contacts reminding them to vote and urging them to vote YES on the recall. We are sending the letter to you in hopes that you will modify it in whatever way you wish and then send it to your own friends and acquaintances.

We are liking our odds of successfully recalling Susan Stoops but we can take nothing for granted. We should not be complacent! We need to get out the vote and make sure that we not only win but that we win by a large margin. Please do everything you can to make this a successful campaign!

Kathleen
