As part of the Voter Protection Program, Sumter County Democratic Party will have a “Boiler Room” for all Early Voting and Election Days. The boiler room will serve as the central governing body — all information on incidents will flow into the boiler room and instructions on how to handle incidents will flow out. Using the national and local reporting tools, the boiler room volunteers will track incidents and communicate key decisions on how to address issues warranting action using input from Voter Protection Leads.

Early Voting begins on Saturday March 7th and will continue everyday until Saturday March 14th. Polls will be open from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm. We will have two shifts of Boiler Room Volunteers on these dates – 9:00 am until 1:30 pm; and 1:30 pm until 6:00 pm.

Election Day is on Tuesday March 17th and the polls are open from 7:00 am until 7:00 pm. We will have three shifts of Boiler Room Volunteer on this date – 7:00 am until 11:00 am; 11:00 am until 3:00 pm; and 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm.

I have scheduled the following 4 “Boiler Room ” Information sessions

Monday February 24th 10:00 am
Monday February 24th 1:00 pm
Wednesday February 26th 10:00 am
Wednesday February 26th 1:00 pm

If you are interested in learning more about being a Boiler Room volunteer, please send me your Name, Email address, phone number and which session you would like to attend. At the Information Session you can sign up for the session(s) that meet your schedule.

We must work together to end voter suppression, intimidation and irregularities so every eligible voter can vote and all votes are counted.

Democratically Yours,

Hi,

I just wanted to remind everyone that we are doing daily phone bank to wish our Democrat neighbors a “Happy Birthday.”

These phone banks are very small, averaging about 50 people. There are only a couple people making calls so far.

This will work if most can find time to make a dozen or so calls every couple days. Please try to lend a hand.”

If you can think of anymore people pass this along.

We all realize that we are in a major battle to keep an impeached President from returning to the White House in about 10 months.

Some people are uncomfortable with canvassing.
Some people are uncomfortable with Phone Banking.

We all must try to step out of our comfort zone and do whatever we can to stop him from returning.

This is an easy way to get used to phone banking. We are calling to wish a voter a Happy Birthday.
All results have been positive so far. All the people we spoke to appreciated it
