[Sosfbay-discuss] Tian needs help walking precincts!

[Bob Alavi]

Just a short note to consider...
   
  "Precinct Walk" packet has two parts:  
   
    1.  3" x 8" Flyers, and 
    2.  8.5 x 11" Address sheets (identifies addresses with VOTING HISTORY --  skip those who don't vote! )
   
  I have "walked" in two different ways:  
   
    1.  Holding the 8.5 x 11 address sheet in one hand, walking door to door (from numbers on address sheet, then dropped a flyer & made short squiggly notes on the 8.5 x 11 address sheets...
   
    2.  BEFORE THE WALK, "Marked the street numbers" on flyers, then held a stack of them in hand, THEN ZIPPED DOOR TO DOOR ON A BIKE.  I think this was MUCH FASTER and better use of my time.  (Anyone willing to try rollerblades, skates?   ... ?    :)  
  [PS: Did the notes too ... on  a small pad, later transferred to 8.5 x 11]
   
  Our given instructions suggested the first method. 
  Method #2 might be new and untried.  It may need more thinking, but seemed to be a lot more efficient & expedient.  I am sure like everything else it has plusses ans minusses. 

  later,

  Dear Friends,

The time has come in my campaign for City Council
where I need lots of help. The voters have woken up
to the fact there is a race going on here. I have done
the math and realized that without LOTS of help I
won't be able to inform all of the voters of Mountain View
about my campaign.

If you have a day or two to walk precincts in Mountain
View between now and the election it would make a big
difference in what my campaign is able to accomplish.
What I need is people to put fliers on the porches of voters,
there is no need to talk to anybody. I've done this many
times for other candidates, and it works out to a great
urban hike. You will enjoy it if the weather is good!

Saturdays and Sundays are the main mobilizations I'm
thinking about. Saturday I will be at home giving out
precinct walking kits until about 11 AM, when I plan to
go out and spend the rest of the day walking precincts
myself. Sunday I will be at the farmers market distributing
kits and tabling until about 1 PM, after which I will again
be walking myself.

Please call me at (650) 964-6481 to let me know you will
be there. I need a rough idea how many kits to make up
ahead of time. If you want to walk in a specific area also
specify that. We can win this race, but not without working!
