Dear ActBlue people and Howie–

Thanks so much for this powerful political tool. It has certainly gotten me to contribute many more times and directly to candidates.

Really easy the right candidates = a winner.

Much appreciated.

freepatriot — every state’s different; I know in my state (MI), precinct delegates are partisan and are selected during the primary (yay!! I got elected!! I’m a delegate for the first time!!). Sounds like your state is different; do whatever you have to do. Whatever the equivalent of a precinct delegate is in your state, that person or persons may have already lined up a schedule for door-to-door; would certainly help you if they already had all the resources lined up and all the numbers about your precinct.

In my case, our Dem club actively went and recruited delegates for each precinct; we have more than ever before. Some precincts are still underrepresented and they are generally like the precinct you described. Because we have plenty of delegates in my precinct, I’m going to work on the next one over that doesn’t have enough. It’s high density (lots of multiple family dwellings), votes more blue than the rest of the area, but has a low turnout (neighboring red precinct has a 75% turnout - ouch!). Any additional turnout will be a big help.

But that’s exactly what the DNC 50-State Strategy[PDF file] says; 5, 10, 15 more Dem votes in every precinct might be all it takes to win. Best of luck to you, keep us posted.

(And I’ll be promoting candidates’ ActBlue pages while I’m pounding the pavement.)

Ohhhh, almost forgot … if you’re thinking about a statewide candidate to support - Howie, Ben, Erin

Check out Rob Haswell, he’s one of the good guys in pretty much the same geographical district as Charlie Brown
