Scott Brown Needs Help That Doesn’t Cost Money
Will wonders never cease. Unlike that refined and reserved blog demeanor I've witnessed over the years, it looks as though Sissy Willis knows how to get down to the dirty business of politics after all. Who'da thunk it? She's pitching in to help Scott Brown with phone calls. Evidently more help could be used, as well.
It's what wins elections and, in this case, can defeat ObaCare, too. Help out of you can, more information at link above.
Meanwhile on the homefront, we walked half an hour across the McArdle Bridge down Meridien Street to Maverick Station in East Boston this morning and took the T into Boston to phone bank in a backroom at MA GOP headquarters, 85 Merrimac Street, a couple of blocks north of City Hall. Closest T stop is Bowdoin, end of the Green Line, just after Government Center. Why are we tellng you all this? Because we're hoping that any of our readers who may be so inclined and live nearby will take the opportunity to put in a few hours to help our cause. They've got 22 totally awesome state-of-the-art phone-bank phones hooked up to their database, so you don't have to dial. Just press a few buttons. If you'd rather not step out, of course, you can theoretically call from the comfort of home, although we weren't able to get that one to work so far. May try again tomorrow.
Wicked cool from Jim Geraghty:
“Perhaps most surprising to me was when I asked about the RNC and NRSC, Brown said that everything he’s wanted, he’s gotten, mostly phones and technological assistance. He’s still looking for donations and volunteers, but has already reached the point where his campaign made 180,000 calls to voters last night.”
Hey. Those “mostly phones” are the very ones I was manning this morning down Boston GOP headquarters. Thank you, NRC and NRSC. Who’da thunk it?
I’d given up on donating to the party in favor of individual candidates. But it seems the NRC and NRSC are making about the best impact for Scott that they can for little $, so maybe donations to the party are sometimes well spent after all. Good news on many fronts lately.
Didn’t you hear? The RNC isn’t co-opting the Tea Party movement, we are co-opting them!
Paolo Thompson. Exactly. We are disintermediating the old-boy network
s via the internet!
I’m 55 just made my first political contribution to Scott Brown. Go to his site and donate.
“I’d given up on donating to the party in favor of individual candidates.”
The last time the RNC called me (sometime last year), I answered the phone and told the nice young man on the other end that before the RNC ever got another dime from me, they would actually have to stand up for and promote fiscal conservatism and small government, and generally get their heads out of their butts. Like you, all my donations for the past few years have been to individual candidates — including to Scott Brown just a day or two ago, and to Parker Griffith right after the news broke about his changing parties.
As a 2008 contributor to Sarah Palin and the old guy, I’ve been getting mail from the RNC for some time. I don’t even bother to open it; it goes straight in the garbage, and will continue to do so until they a)get rid of the wimp, Steele, and b)start backing conservative candidates. Rinos and Diablos suck, and what’s worse, they lose. Scozzafava, anyone?
Until the above conditions are met, I’ll donate only to my personally chosen, conservative candidates. The Rinos and Diablos can forget ever again having any of my cash, via the RNC, to help them play Demo-lite. Those days are over.
There’s an error in the information in this post.
The “Bowdoin” stop is at the end of the blue line, not the green.
