Be a Neighborhood Captain!

Today, we're exactly six months out from the November 4 General Election.

And though we don't have a presidential candidate yet, planning is already under way to run a competitive, high energy campaign locally and across Texas as part of the Democratic Party's fifty-state strategy.  But we need your help.

There will be lots of activities over the course of the summer and fall, but one way you can help right now is to sign up to be a Precinct 2207 neighborhood captain.  Our success this fall will depend on the grassroots efforts of people like you - people who know our neighborhood and have an insider's insight into what will and won't work (something no consultant in Washington or Austin could ever hope to tell us).

**What's involved, you ask?**

Well, that's really up to you and the volunteers you will be heading up.  Every neighborhood is different, and you're the ones who know your neighborhood best.  In some neighborhoods, the best way for getting people fired up and out to the polls might be a block party or series of smaller house parties.  In other neighborhoods, door-to-door contact or phone calls might be the ticket.  In other areas, the need could be to register voters and to educate people on early voting options.  We need your help to figure all this out. Once we come up with a game plan, we'll give you the support and resources to get the job done.

If you are interested, or even if you're just thinking about it, let us know by filling out this form or emailing precinct2207@gmail.com. We'll have an informational get together later this month to begin discussing 'strategery' (as President Bush would say).
