UPDATE as of May 10, 2020
Last week I sent out a survey of our members regarding their views on opening the Headquarters. The overwhelming response was that we need to wait and see what happens before taking the risk of opening. Therefore, we need to keep listening to the news and bide our time until it is safe to open or meet as a group.
So, what can we do in the meantime to promote our candidates? What can we do about the obvious challenges ahead when it comes to the election?
I understand that many of our members are eager to take some kind of action, but today’s reality – and the reality that we likely will be living with for the foreseeable future, limits our activities. I know many do not like telephone canvassing (I happen to be one of them), but for now, IT IS THE ONLY TOOL WE HAVE.
Never mind the daily or hourly bad news coming from Washington. It is my belief that the lines are clearly and firmly drawn when it comes to the presidential election. The Trump cult has demonstrated without any doubt that they will rationalize and excuse anything this administration fails to do. It is also my opinion that there are few, if any, “persuadable” voters in that arena. But we can work for down-ballot candidates, lend them support and promote name recognition here in our town, our county and our state.
Lynnette Brouwer continues to provide strong leadership in Gila County. She has provided me with very helpful links and information that I want to share with you regarding the activities that are being organized by our Party and by Mission for Arizona, along with an outstanding article on how Coronavirus spreads.
