What I leanred from calling for Kloppenburg



1. It really helped to call with other people. I need the support of friends. Calls went twice as fast, we could compare notes and encourage each other.

2. It helped to have a goal. 100 seemed too high...but once we put it on paper...we had something to work towards...and we wanted to succeed.

3. Snacks help....we would set mini goals for ourselves. Five calls and a snack, any negative comments means you get an extra snack. :)

It took less than two hours to call 100 people with three of us calling.

Does it make a difference? ( this is the question I am most likely to get asked)

Yes, if someone tells you they intend to vote for Kloppenburg, research shows they are much more likely to do so.

Name recognition matters a lot...when people get to the polls they vote for the names they remember ( so the more times they hear someone's name the better)

Finally Prosser's campaign is investing in calls....it is important that people who have not decided know that their vote is important...and hear from both sides.

This is what democracy looks like. Thanks Erica and Mark!!
