Anybody Campaigning for Hillary? Or doing GOTV Activities?

I went to the website and was very interested to see what areas are being called. I wouldn't have thought DC and Mass. were swing states. Certainly not Hawaii! I feel guilty, but I'm going to start by calling DC, where I was born. It may be that the campaign is calling into Dem states to recruit. I'll find out when I start.

I have been surprised not to hear stories from people who are campaigning, especially people who experience the high of getting someone to vote for Hillary.

Love to hear from you!

Metro area. Also sometimes they will have bag stuffing meet ups to put material together if you don't like to talk on the phone

Someone here @du was doing voter registration and had a great response
If nothing else go local and support.
I am focusing on a senate seat here as Clinton is solid I believe

It is how it is done. A state party's job is to get voters to the polls...we do it even in safe states. We are right now registering voters here in Ohio. And I will begin calling voters in a week or two...kind of early. right now we are identifying our voters.

I did some canvassing few weeks ago. Just knocking doors of people likely to support Hillary and asking them to come out and vote in Nov and also to support to local dem candidates. Almost all Somali immigrant households I went to and they are all voting for her. I was in a parade with the local dems too, which was a lot of fun. I do things here and there when the local dems call me up and I have the time.
