Dear LMFDC Members,The Midterm Elections are 8 days away and things are getting nasty!

Dear GO Team Members: 

This weekend is our last chance to reach voters at home and make sure that they have the full slate. We have great options for GO Teamers to be involved from from just a few minutes to as many hours as you like. Whichever you choose, your experienced help is going to be a vital part of the GO Team and Get-Out-the-Vote programs and will make a difference on Election Day. GO Team options are:

Help where you are needed most. Please sign up to work as many Coordinated Campaign shifts as you are able to, which will have the broadest impact of the options. Our coordinated campaigns are in the areas where we have the tightest races and will help ensure that our endorsed Democrats win on Tuesday. Go to www.sddemocrats.org/gotv to pick from coordinated campaign locations in San Diego and Chula Vista. If you want to walk precincts or make phone calls, the staging locations are in: Kearny Mesa, Chula Vista, and Point Loma/Midway.

Make some calls from home. We’ll have an online phone bank that makes it easy to call from your own home. All you need is a computer and a telephone. Go to www.sddemocrats.org/gotv and sign-up and we’ll get back to you with instructions. 

Distribute literature – no knocking involved. We have literature that needs distribution as soon as possible — especially in Congressional District 52 for Scott Peters and Susan Guinn or in a precinct near you. Call us at HQ, (858) 277-3367 or email us at info@sddemocrats.org and we’ll get you set up with a lit-drop list. (Knocking and talking is still preferable, but if this is the best option for you, the help is appreciated!)

Work in your GO Team precinct with an updated list. If you have not already done so, please exchange your Voter ID list for a GOTV list with the most current and updated information. The targets, format and script are for the voters who most need to hear from you and with the best practices for getting voters to turn out. Sign up at  www.sddemocrats.org/gotv and we’ll get back to you with the list. 

Thank you helping get-out-the-vote!

All the best,

Vote-by-mail ballots will arrive next Monday for the special mayoral election in San Diego. That means it’s “GO Time” again!
The Democratic Party has endorsed David Alvarez, so we encourage you to volunteer whatever time you can to help elect him and keep the mayor’s office in Democratic hands. Whether you live in the City of San Diego or elsewhere in the county, you can help in the following ways:
1) Make calls from home with our Online Phonebank. You just need a phone and an Internet connection. Go to www.sddemocrats.org/alvarez, register with your email address, and use the password “sandiego” to get started. You can enter the results onscreen as you call.
2) Walk your assigned GO Team precinct in the City of San Diego. Reply to this email or call Roberto Torres at (858) 277-3367 to request a list and literature to hand out.
3) Volunteer directly out of the Alvarez campaign office in Kearny Mesa. You can make calls there or walk a precinct that the campaign has targeted. Click here to sign up or call (619) 402-1330.
As a GO Teamer, you’ve already got the skills to have a real impact in this race. Election Day is November 19, but I hope you’ll help out this this weekend and early next week when voting begins!
All the best,
Kami Olsson
GO Team Countywide Coordinator
