2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Here's Obama's Ground Game - Here's Your Jurassic Park [View all]qwlauren35
(6,145 posts)50. One thing does trouble me.
I think we're contacting people TOO MUCH. Many of them are sick of the calls. It worries me. But I keep calling. In a single night I can make anywhere from 30-100 calls over the course of 3 hours. I can leave about 30 messages. I may reach 10 people, I may only find one volunteer. But we move foward.
Now I'm in charge of two phonebanks in Catonsville, MD on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. We go up to Pennsylvania from 3 different locations in Baltimore City/County on Saturdays AND Sundays.
We're fired up.
