[PenDems (150)] PENDEMORANDUM FOR AUGUST 21-28

SHOW UP! STAND UP! SIGN UP!

The Central States Fair has grass, straw, dust, tents, food, music and
lots of folks, not much "astroturf."

Democrats from SDDP and West River county parties, Volunteers in
Organizing for America, volunteers from South Dakotans for Health Care
Reform, and organized labor are all at the Fair making a final push
this month to gather grassroots support for President Obama's health
insurance reform policy.

We still need volunteers for some shifts on every day of the Central
States Fair. Don't assume "somebody else will do it." Contact Ritchie
Nordstrom to sign up for a shift <ritch@rushmore.com>.
