(151,387 posts)That's excellent. And phone banking is a great way to spend them. Don't underestimate the value of that time. You make a difference. Thank you so much for your help. I also canvass, but only in my own precinct, where I try to knock on every door. I don't reach every voter, but I reach a good portion of them. I only canvass on weekends, and only during campaign season. Right now, there's nothing to do, really.
The other stuff I do in the organization doesn't take all that much time. A little time on the precinct website, a few days at the conventions, etc. I work for myself, so I just take the time that's required. I talk on the phone quite a bit, but those calls are usually short, and come from the website. I answer some emails, and that doesn't take too long.
Any time you can spare is very important, and you're doing an important thing.
