The Shamansky Campaign update letter

The Shamansky campaign sends out updates to everyone on their mailing list, but they don't post them to the website (the information tends to be redundant). I can't, therefore, link to them. Regardless, I like the summary format, so I hope they don't mind if I post the latest one in its entirety. If you like the format, you can go to the Shamansky for Congress link over there on the right and sign up.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

This was a great week for Team Shamansky. Bob has done everything from dinner with the Delaware County Farm Bureau to singing with Frances Strickland. We also took part in the Westerville All Dog Parade, part of uptown Westerville 4th Fridays, with the Westerville Democratic Club.

On Saturday Bob joined volunteers and talked to independent voters door-to-door in Powell. In the weeks to come, Bob will join other candidates in Columbus and Pataskala. Please contact us to bring Bob to your neighborhood to campaign!

We are contacting voters on the phones and at the door every day from now until November 7th. We have space available for 10 phone bankers every evening, so please join us in the afternoon or after work or school. If you'd prefer to knock on doors, we're able to accommodate as many volunteers as possible? Just drop in!

Saturday afternoon we joined the Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 189 Picnic at Jackson Lake Park. Candidates Marian Harris and MaryJo Kilroy were also there, as were many of the great Democratic judicial candidates. On Sunday Bob attended church at Grace Baptist, and then joined the Eastside Democratic Club in Columbus, where he was able to talk to fellow Democrats about attacks on civil liberties and the travesty in Iraq.

Our headquarters is up and running here in German Village at 520 S. 5th St! Please join us for Volunteer Appreciation Night, Tuesday August 29th to meet Bob and other volunteers.

On Saturday, August 26th, we'll be teaming up with the Sherrod Brown for Senate campaign to canvass independent voters in Powell, OH. Meet at 10am at Murphy Park, 47 Murphy Parkway, behind Handel's ice cream. All you need to bring is a good attitude and comfortable shoes, and together we will turn around Ohio!

Request your absentee ballot before the October rush! The application is available at http://www.sos.state.oh.us/sos/electionsVoter/forms/11a.pdf
and can be mailed back to your county Board of Elections. Absentee voting
is not only convenient?it leaves a paper trail, and leaves you available to
volunteer to Get Out The Vote on Election Day!
