October Update

Julia Carson Headlines:

Julia Carson for Congress Launches New Website- The Carson campaign has
launched a brand-new website at http://www.juliacarson.org. Visit us on
the web to get the latest Carson for Congress news, volunteer for the
campaign, contribute and to see where Representative Carson stands on
the issues that matter.

Voter Registration Surges in Marion County- Thanks in large part to
volunteers from the Carson, Kerry and Kernan campaigns, a record number
of new voters have registered in Marion County. Many thanks to all of
our volunteers who've helped us so far. The next step is to get
everyone out to vote through our voter canvassing drives and our
Election Day efforts. Read more below, and please join us in making
sure that voters get to the polls on Election Day.

Congresswoman Carson Attends Candidate Forum and live TV debate;
Candidate Forum this week- On September 20th Rep. Carson joined her 7th
district opponents for a live radio candidate forum on WBDG at Ben Davis
High School. The forum focused on education issues, and allowed
students to ask questions of the candidates before they vote in their
first election.

On October 10th, Rep. Carson debated her opponents live on WISH-TV
Channel 8. She made it clear that she stands with the citizens of the
7th district, and that she will continue to be a strong principled voice
in Washington for the people of Indianapolis.

Congresswoman Carson will meet her opponents at the Robin Run Retirement
Village Candidate Forum from 7:00-8:15pm on Sunday, October 17th. The
Robin Run Candidate Forum will have an audience, and we'll need as many
Carson supporters as possible to join us and support our Congresswoman.
Robin Run is at 5354 W 62nd St. Guests should arrive by 6:30 to be sure
they get seats. There is some construction on 62nd Street, so those
planning to attend should arrive early. Contact the campaign for more
information.
