Picnic and canvassing in Millersport
Where
Millersport
When
Jul 22, 2006
10:30 am - 1:30 pm
Supporters of the Fairfield County Democratic
Party will be walking door-to-door
in Millersport on July 22nd, 2006 in support
of our local and statewide
candidates.
We will meet at the Upper Deck Coffee House in
downtown Millersport at 10:30 to
begin our canvassing activities.
After we finish canvassing, we will meet at
12:30 PM for a
picnic lunch at the shelter in the Lions Club
Park (i.e. where the Sweet Corn
Festival takes place.) For festival
afficionados, it's the booth where the
Millersport Athletic Boosters have their
stand.
We encourage all local Dems to come out and
support the effort and enjoy the
food afterwards. We encourage people to bring
a side-dish or desert to share.
It would also help to email us letting us know
what you plan to bring.
Watch this space as the event nears for
additional details about meeting times
and locations.
Another such event will be held in the
northwest corner of the county in August.
An open letter to Millersport (and other
Fairfield County) Democrats
As the Millersport representative on the
Central and Executive
Committees of the Fairfield County Democratic
Party, I want to thank
you for your past support of Democratic
candidates and ask for your
active participation in this year’s campaigns.
We’ve seen what
Republican elected officials have done to our
county, our state and our
nation. It’s time for a reenergized Democratic
Party to prevail with
candidates who can take Fairfield County and
Ohio in a better
direction.
We’ve got a great slate of candidates for
local and state offices. We
saw in last fall’s Lancaster City Council
elections that good
organization and hard work pay off with
success at the polls. The
stakes are even higher in this fall’s
elections. We need every Democrat
– as well as Republican and Independent voters
who are ready for change
– to get involved. There’s a way for everyone
to contribute to success
in November. Here are some ideas for ways to
get started:
1. Visit and bookmark the Fairfield County
Democrats’ informative
website at ffcdp.net.
2. Join fellow Democrats to canvass in
Millersport on July 22. Starting
at 10:30 am we’ll be walking through
Millersport to distribute
literature about our candidates. I canvassed
here and elsewhere in the
county during the Kerry campaign, and I can
tell you that it’s a great
way to get exercise and visit with neighbors.
Don’t forget to wear
comfortable shoes. Look for more information
about this canvassing
opportunity on the website, or give me a call
to let me know you’ll
participate.
3. Following canvassing, attend the July 22
picnic sponsored by the
Education and Outreach Committee of the
Fairfield County Democratic
Party. We’ll gather around 2:00 pm at the
picnic shelter at Lions Club
Park. This is the shelter that Millersport
Athletic Boosters use for
their booth during the Sweet Corn Festival.
Bring a dish to share, if
you can. If you can’t, come anyway. And even
if you can’t participate
in canvassing, please join us for good food
and fellowship at the
picnic.
4. Get to know our local and state candidates
for office:
- Dennis Lupher, for State Senator
- Kelly Kirk, for State Representative
- George Hallarn, for County Commissioner
- Peter Kukla, for County Clerk of Courts
- Ted Strickland and Lee Fisher, for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
