[PenDems (232)] 5 weeks to Election - Make it count!

We have 5 weeks left until the election, and its time that we ALL get to work!  

Scott Heidepriem has a real chance to become the next Governor of our state, and I hope that everyone of you will make a commitment to help work towards the election on November 2.  Democrats have been working incredibly hard to contact voters in Rapid City.  If you care about this election, we need you to take some initiative and get involved.  Volunteering for the campaign can be a lot of fun, it only takes a few hours of your time each week, and it will make the difference that we need to change the leadership in Pierre for the future of our state.

Volunteer opportunities with the Pennington County Democrats for the week of September 27 to October 4.  Everything happens  Coordinated Campaign office at 1315 Haines Ave. next to Laundry World.

Tuesday, September 28 & Thursday, Sept 30 - 5:30 to 9pm - Calling Democrats for Scott Heidepriem and other Dem candidates

Stop by the office whenever you have time and make phone calls to voters or knock on doors in Rapid City.  Come when you want and stay as long as you can.  

Saturday, October 2 - Noon to 3pm - Door-to-door Canvass

We'll provide lunch and a short training to make sure everyone's ready for the day.  Teams of volunteers will go door to door to talk to fellow democrats about our candidates like Scott Heidepriem, Ben Nesselhuf, and our other state and local candidates.

Remember:  Yard signs and barn signs for all the candidates as well as information about the candidates is available at the campaign office anytime!

For more information, contact 660-626-6634 or email democrats@pendems.org.

[PenDems (229)] Door-to-Door Canvass - Volunteers needed!

The first door to door canvass focussed specifically on Scott Heidepriem and our local candidates will be held this coming Saturday, September 25, beginning at noon.  Meet at the campaign office at 1315 Haines Ave, between Batteries Plus and Laundry World where the Obama campaign offices were in 2008.  

Lunch will be provided, a short training on message will follow, and you'll be given walk lists that will take about 2 hours to finish.  It's time more West River voters heard about Scott Heidepriem, Ben Arndt and their campaign's message!  

We'll be talking to Democrats who don't vote regularly, Independents who don't vote regularly, and newly registered Dems and Independents – people who will hopefully be receptive to our message.  

So bring your smiles and your enthusiasm!  It'll be a gorgeous day, and after the rain that's coming, you'll want to be out and about.

If you have questions or to RSVP please email silvchristen@gmail.com or call 660-626-6634

[PenDems (227)] Early Voting Starts Sept 21

On Tuesday, September 21st, the coordinated campaign will be having several early vote events across South Dakota.  The goal of these events is to bring attention to early voting and to the fact that we are very organized this year.  

Our Early Vote rally in Rapid City is scheduled for 12:00 PM this Tuesday.  We'll be meeting at Seattle's Best Coffee, talking about early vote and it's importance to the campaign, and marching over to the courthouse to cast our votes.  This is strategic to the campaign because it shows that we are more organized than the Republicans, and it locks in supportive votes for us now that we don't have to worry about turning out on Election Day.  We also want to show South Dakota that early voting is fun and simple.

Anyone who wants to attend should call me at 716-0259 to RSVP or email me at tnardi@sddp.org.  Don't forget to bring your photo ID to early vote.

Thanks!
