1000 Door hangers and 200 Signs

Update: The signs have arrived! Everyone who has requested one, I will get in touch with and drop them off with you this weekend.

Ready to Go

Door hangers

As of this morning we are just 38 days away from the election, and if you have read my previous posts you know that I will be attending various campaign events in March.  The one that I hope many of you will attend is the Candidate Forum at the Zion-Benton Public Library on March 16th, at 1:30 pm.

If you have been curious about what I have been doing the past week or so, aside from shoveling snow, just look at the image above.  I have been printing, cutting, and bagging 1000 campaign fliers for distribution.  The goal is to deliver these to homes across as broad a section of the city as possible in the next couple of weeks.

I haven't made a point of this before, but this really is a grassroots effort to raise awareness of the campaign, and the importance of the election.  I have not solicited any campaign donations, all the costs have been out of pocket, with the exception of those of you who have printed fliers at home using the DIY documents I posted on the web (and if you have been printing your own, Thank You!).

This distribution is distinct from the Door-to-Door Voter Outreach, as I am not looking to actually knock on doors, but focus on getting these out to homes, and hopefully get more people talking, supporting, and voting.

To really make this work, I am asking that anyone who can take some of these fliers and hang them on doors in their neighborhood to contact me at fischerforzion@gmail.com .  Whether you can take a hundred or a handful, it would be a great help.

 

Signs

The other project that I undertook this past week was to order yard signs, a requirement for any campaign.

Coming Soon!
They're Here!

 

The shipment of 200 signs should arrive in the next couple of days.  Anyone who wants to place a sign in their yard, email me so I can start a list and get them out to you. 

Fliers and signs are just tools, what I believe will really help in the end, is that everyone who reads these fliers, sees the signs, or looks up the website, will care enough about the city and it's future to talk about it with others.  If enough people start talking, then we can get them to act, and get them to vote!

I look forward to hearing from you.
