RK ARCHIVE - Fed Up? Sept 2nd we fight back!! [UPDATE]

Join me and other activists Saturday September 2nd (10:00 AM) at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax Virginia for an Organizing Rally bringing together the Andrew Hurst, Jim Webb, Judy Feder and the Jim Moran campaigns. Immediately after the rally, Team Hurst will canvass the very precinct in which Robinson Secondary School sits (Robinson Precinct).

If you support Hurst, Webb, Feder or Moran it is essential that you come out, meet the candidates, learn what the plan to win in November is, then hit the streets and win some votes for Hurst and Webb in the 11th District.
Alas, I+óGé¼Gäóm not sure what the plan is for this event. In 2004 the Kerry campaign held an Organizing Rally with 3000 activists to energize the base. In 2005, Dave Marsden held two Organizing Conventions in which about 150 activists at each event came in and the campaign planned a mini-field program for each precinct (as a side note, John Kerry called into the second Organizing Convention). I imagine that this will be somewhat in between the two. All I know is that I will be knocking on doors after the rally. We+óGé¼Gäóll see what the campaigns have in store for us, perhaps we+óGé¼Gäóll get details in the coming days.

If you+óGé¼Gäóre a Webb supporter, I want to mention that the Hurst campaign and the Webb campaign now have a coordinated field program and that Hurst is ID+óGé¼Gäóing of supporters in the 11th for both himself and Webb, so come out and create some synergy.

[UPDATE] Aug 29 @ 7:45PM. It seems that some details are coming out about the rally. Gerry Connolly is going to be speaking (along with the four candidates) and is also on a Robo Call urging people to come out and attend.

I'm also hearing that the other campaigns are following Hurst's example and are organizing canvasses immediately following the rally, should be a great time. Thousands of doors knocked all over the County the weekend before Labor Day, I'm excited!!

Let us all know in the comments, and if you have any thoughts about what the Rally should be yell those out too (I guarantee all four campaigns read RK).

I'll be there (Dan - 8/29/2006 9:10:16 AM)

No problem. I bet canvassing will be tough since a lot of people will be traveling that weekend. However, I will help team-Hurst on Saturday.

I'm Excited (GrumpyCareBear24 - 8/29/2006 2:44:03 AM)

It'll be my first big rally since becoming a Democrat and active in politics (both about five months ago).

PS: I'm walking too, after the rally.

We're recruiting a group from LCDC... (Loudoun County Dem - 8/29/2006 9:08:39 AM)

..to be there.

Robinson Precinct (Ben - 8/29/2006 10:44:13 AM)

There is no Braddock Precinct.

Thanks, changed to reflect this. n/t (pitin - 8/29/2006 11:04:17 AM)

The same week I heard there will be a drive (Andrea Chamblee - 8/29/2006 12:23:27 PM)

for $11 for the 11th District. Can you donate $11? Or a multiple of $11?

I just chipped in $11 (pitin - 8/29/2006 7:30:10 PM)

Excellent idea. If a broke college student as myself can do that, no one else has any excuse.

Here's the link to CONTRIBUTE $11 or $1100, or anything in between.

I'm going to be there (Ambivalent Mumblings - 8/30/2006 4:46:29 PM)

Hopefully I'll have the chance to meet you because I will be there on the 2nd as well.

GO ANDY HURST!!!

Look forward to seeing/meeting you there as well. n/t (pitin - 8/31/2006 1:42:05 AM)
