The polls are in, and they bring good news for us! If he gets his message out to the voters, Al Swanstrom will beat Nelson Dollar by a significant margin! To make sure that happens, they have to keep knocking on doors. With 40 days until the election, now is the time to get his message out, one voter at a time.

Join Al and the Wake County Young Democrats NEXT Saturday, October 4th, for their next big canvassing event. As always, plan to meet at at 9:30 a.m. at Java Jive, 2425 Kildaire Farm Road, in Cary (next to Lochmere Golf Club). After a few hours of door-knocking, we'll meet up for a cook-out at a nearby park!

Looking for one or two individuals to step up and work very closely with the Wake County GOTV effort in NC House District 36 (currently held by Nelson Dollar, but candidate Al Swanstrom is running against him in this District). Trying to organize our GOTV effort by NC House District. So sending this to all the officers of our organized precincts, hoping someone will step up, or know someone in their precincts that would be able to take on a larger role now through Nov 4.

This person will work with Blaise Strenn, Vice-Chair of the Wake County Democratic Party, and the GOTV committee with communicating GOTV activities and actions to the precinct chairs, and precinct contacts in their NC House District. At a minimum, they will assist in coordinating signs at the polls, and ensuring the polls in the District are manned on Election Day.

This will involve a good deal of work on the phone and via email, and may reach 10-15 hours per week in the weeks close to Nov 4th.

It's less than three months until the election, and I have a lot more voters I need to talk to. I can't talk to them all myself. I need your help to get to them!

I'm asking you to please join me this Saturday, August 9, at 9:30 a.m. at Java Jive (2425 Kildaire Farm Road, #403, Cary). My campaign manager will be calling you, so if you don't want him to bug you, go ahead and send him an email and tell him you will be there (al@alswanstrom.com).

I will beat Nelson Dollar if we just talk to enough voters. My voters want a representative who cares enough to come to their door and who has people who believe in him helping him do that.

Hope to see you Saturday!
