A little thing we can do to help Kerry.

[SW FL Dem]

I just got my package from Kerrygear.com. I put a Kerry/Edwards button on my purse and a sticker on my car. I live in an overwhelmingly Republican area. So far, I've had several people comment positively on my button. I've asked each of them if they want one. They were all thrilled that I had extras in my purse to give them. Today in the grocery store parking lot, a woman commented on my bumper sticker, I gave her a sticker and a button which she promptly put on her shirt. I passed her in the grocery store and she mentioned that two people told her that they were supporting Kerry. I gave her a few more buttons to pass out. The buttons cost me something like 70 cents apiece. I only ordered 20 and in less than a week, I've depleted more than half of my supply. Time to reorder!

1. Nice work!

Here in Chicago, everyone has them already, it seems!

But in FL and the other tight states, we need people doing what you're doing!

3. For the broke or cheapies

In my email, I think it's a great idea. Easy to do too. Just get some business card blanks and print a sheet at a time.



A Kerry "Get Involved" card is a business card, with the number of
your local Kerry campaign office, and a set of links people can use
to sign up for meetups, get started volunteering, or donate to the
campaign. A business card is small enough to keep some in your
wallet or purse, but large enough to give people the information they
need to get hooked up with the campaign. They're a perfect adjunct
to wearing a Kerry button - when someone says "Nice button!" you can
give them a card, so they can get buttons and a yard sign at the
campaign office. And you can point out the links, and tell them how
much the campaign depends on its volunteers and contributors. They
are a very effective tool, they're inexpensive, and easy to hand out
to people.

I've put together a Word file, that will print the kind of 10-Up
business card blanks you can get at Office Depot. All you have to do
is fill in the address and phone number of your local Kerry campaign
office, and print them out. You can also get them printed and cut at
a copy shop or printer. I had a thousand of these cards printed a
little more than a month ago, and I only have three left! I've given
stacks of them to fellow volunteers, passed them out on the opening
day of Farenheit 9/11, and given them away at meetups. So they have
been very useful.

You can find the Word file at:

Disclaimer: These cards aren't endorsed by the Kerry campaign, or the
DNC, or any other political entity. They're completely volunteer-
based.

4. I did the same thing.

Only mine just came this am. I'm in a very Repuke area too, upstate NY so wish me luck. My sons are in college though and they should be able to give a lot out in the fall.
