The November 6 Election is less than a week away, and it’s time to GOTV!
If you are near the STL area you can volunteer at the Liberty HQ: 9966 Lin Ferry Rd., St. Louis, MO 63123
-Hours: 12-8 every day, up until election day; all day Election Day, followed by a Watch Party
-Liberty HQ will also be offering a raffle to volunteers: http://stlouisteaparty.com/2012/10/win-an-ipad-mini-or-gas-card-by-helping-st-louis-tea-party-get-out-the-vote/
If you are in MO you can contact Dallas Cook, the GOTV Coordinator at Liberty HQ, and he may be able to get you a list of numbers or addresses to GOTV:dallas.cook@stlteaparty.com
If you are in IL, find a candidate or cause and GOTV!
Remember, Election Day is extremely important, but the day after the election is when the real hard work begins.
We noted months ago that a Lame Duck session would be detrimental to conservative principles, and we must stop Congress from acting before new members sit in session: http://heritageaction.com/2012/04/lobbyists-eye-lame-duck/
And the Farm Bill seems to be one of the issues that may come up: http://heritageaction.com/2012/10/farm-bill-lame-duck-lawmakers-must-keep-their-conservative-principles/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+heritageaction+%28Heritage+Action%3A+The+Forge%29
The fiscal cliff & taxmageddon will probably enter the conversation on Lame Duck: http://heritageaction.com/2012/10/wsj-fiscal-cliff-forces-all-sides-jockey/
As will the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST): http://heritageaction.com/2012/09/heritage-action-release-statement-lame-duck-treaty-letter/
Stay vigilant after Election Day!
At Heritage Action, we pay attention to the use of our Legislative Scorecard across the country. Lately, we have noticed a couple of media mentions out of Galesburg, Illinois. There is a great tea party group up there, and I had the privilege of speaking at one of their rallies. It’s great to hear that the conservative activists in Galesburg are using the Scorecard effectively. For more information on the Scorecard, go here: http://heritageactionscorecard.com/scorecard/index.html
And let us know how you are using the Scorecard in your community.
If you need something funny to cheer up your day, check out this amusing video on polling from Bill Hennessy, Co-Founder of the St. Louis Tea Party: http://hennessysview.com/2012/10/29/heres-how-nate-silver-determines-obamas-chances-of-winning/
Good luck with all of your GOTV efforts, and we look forward to promoting conservative principles & holding our legislators accountable after a great election result!
