Volunteer Orientation Meeting

With only 40 days until November 2nd we are getting ready to step up our activities in OC and steam on strongly through the next five weeks to victory.  We are holding two volunteer orientation meetings this weekend just to be sure that everyone can make it, so please make room in your schedule and help us make history this November!

Friday, Sept. 24  Meeting 6:30-730pm at University Town Center 4255 Campus Dr Suite  A 120

(Behind Lee's Sandwiches close to the end of the pedestrian bridge that comes from UCI)

Saturday, Sept. 25 Canvassing 10-2 Meeting 2:30-3:30pm 

Carl Weibel's House  2529 Alona St. Santa Ana CA 92706

We'll be going over plans for the future of our field team, including plans to increase efforts and how to best win over voters in OC over the next 40 days.  Both meetings are the same so you only need to attend one.  This is a very exciting time to be involved in the campaign and we hope you can get involved!

Thank you so much for your support and willingness to help pass Prop 19.  

Canvasing at UCI

Hello again prop 19 supporters, my name is Tony Burke and I am the
President of a student organization at UC Irvine.  Our group is leading
the charge for the Yes on 19 campaign at UCI.  Welcome week at UCI starts
out on Mon. Sept. 20th at 10AM at Aldrich Park (in the center of the UCI
campus).  The big event on the 20th is the Anteater Involvement Fair and
there will be at least 400 student organizations as well as thousands of
new and returning students and their families.  We need volunteers for our
table at the fair on the 20th to help us reach all of these people, and
then during that week (Sept. 20-24th) where student groups will be
flooding the UCI campus to reach out to new students during welcome week.
If you are available and willing to help anytime from Sept. 20-24th at UCI
please contact me at aburke@uci.edu and I can give you all the details.

Phone Banking

Dear prop 19 supporters, hello-my name is Tony Burke and I am the Yes on
19 phone bank coordinator for Orange County.  Phone banking is easy to do
and can be done from the comfort of your own home or wherever you have
internet access.  By logging in as a volunteer you will be given phone
numbers to call and a script of what to say.  Phone banking is one of the
most critical volunteering activities you can do because the campaign
staff has already gone through to target specific demographics who we
really really need to reach out to.  As Alex told me, phone banking is
like hitting the nail on the head over and over and over.  To get involved
and volunteer for phone banking please email me at aburke@uci.edu

Canvassing with Carl

We will be having our first OC door-to-door Yes on 19 canvass on Saturday, September 25, from 10am-2pm at 2529 Alona St. Santa Ana CA 92706 (House).

We hope to see you there!
