Mike, David & Jonathan,
Props to you for hitting the streets! Please give me a call at
621-7932 any time you're going to be out precinct-walking and would
like some help, and if I'm not busy I'll be glad to join you.
Some additional productive things to do while you're out getting
signatures, if you're so inclined:
-Distribute Mike Denny fliers (leave them on porches, on cars, in
screen doors, etc.
-If people say they support Mike, ask if they'd be willing to display a
window sign for him (carry a few signs in your vehicle, if practical)
-If people seem enthused by *your* candidacy, ask if they'd be willing
to volunteer for you later. Get their contact info.
-Bring voter registration forms and ask people if they'd like to
register to vote (sometimes it's good to remind folks that registering
won't increase their chances of being called for jury duty, unless they
have neither a drivers' licenses nor a state ID, because the judicial
system pulls people from those databasesto)
-If people want to register, of course encourage them to register
Libertarian (bring a few basic LP brochures)
-Bring membership forms. If a person seems receptive, invite her/him to
become a member and get our state and national newsletters for just $25
a year
-Invite people to our free pizza socials and other events
-Ask people if they'd like to be sent an inquiry packet
-Get email addresses to add to the LPSF-announce list
-Find out what kinds of issues and concerns people have
-If you're out there tomorrow, you can urge people to come to the
eminent domain hearing on Tuesday
Best wishes,
<<< Starchild >>>
So far I have walked 7 precincts: 3534-3536, 3546-3549
I have gotten 5 signatures from precinct walking. 5 out of 150. This
is harder than I thought.I am going to keep working precincts West of Divisidero/Scott which are
also in all 3 of our districts.David, Jonathan: Let me know where you guys have walked and plan to
walk, so we don't overlap.If anyone who is not running wants to help us collect signatures, we
could sure use the help!Here are some statistics.

4 0NS: No soliciting sign posted
BAD: Bad address (mail receiving agency, commercial address, apt
not specified, etc)
WALK: Skipped because I walked past it and didn't feel like
backtracking.
MOVED: Current resident attests to fact that person does not live
there currently.
NO ANSWER: No answer.
NOT HOME: Verified that they do live there (housemate or printed
name),
but they were not home.
SIGNED: Signed the petitions
WON'T SIGN:Refuses to sign the petitionsI also found a Mike Denny for Mayor sign on a home not listed in the
database. The resident signed.Every libertarian I have met precinct walking has signed. No one
refuses. That's good.
We have found 9 libertarians that were just not home. That's good.
Except...I have found that if someone other than the registered voter answers
the
door, and you tell them that you are from the Libertarian party, in
every case so far (3) they said the voter was not interested, and one
even blatently lied and changed her story by saying he doesn't live
here
anymore. I am taking on a policy of not stating my business except to
the registered voter. I have counted these cases as "not home" and I
plan to come back to them. I can see why they want to be liberated!-Mike
