[Peace-discuss] Green Neighborhood Coordinators

[Alfred Weiss]

Do you live somewhere in the 15th Congressional District(Map at 
www.carlforcongress.org)?  Are you interested in Green politics? 
Would you like to help the Estabrook for Congress campaign? If your 
answer to these questions is "yes," the first Green congressional 
campaign ever in Illinois needs you! Please consider volunteering 
yourself - and/or a friend or two! - as a Neighborhood Coordinator 
for Estabrook for Congress.

As a Neighborhood Coordinator, you call the shots for your 
neighborhood about how the Estabrook for Congress campaign grows and 
gets to be known. You'll talk to your neighbors about the Green 
alternative, plug interested folks into the campaign as potential 
supporters (e.g., by registering new voters, helping folks get out to 
vote on Election Day, getting brochures and yard signs into their 
hands, letting them know about campaign events, inviting them to 
contact us to volunteer, maybe finding someone to throw a house party 
... you decide!). With other neighborhood coordinators in your city, 
town or county, you'll grow the campaign and the Greens in your neck 
of the woods, and help the campaign coordinators make key decisions 
about what Estabrook for Congress is all about. In a word, you'll be 
in the driver's seat.

Please contact me (aweiss at carlforcongress.org) if you'd like to be a 
part of the campaign. Even if "neighborhood coordinator" sounds too 
daunting (it's not!), we'd very much love to hear from you about how 
you might like to participate. That might mean volunteering, 
contributing some much-needed cash (to help us handle our office 
rent, phone bills and modest but effective advertising budget), or 
simply letting us know what you'd like to see the area Greens and 
Estabrook for Congress be all about.

The November 5, 2002 election is just a little more than 90 days 
away. Let's work together to make Election Day an opportunity to give 
voters in the 15th District some real choices about their political 
lives, by promoting Green values like social justice, grassroots 
democracy, ecological wisdom and nonviolence. Our lives really do 
depend on it. Just hit your "reply" button to get started.

Go we go!
