Support

Coming from behind on anything is never fun and is never easy.  But when you are an intern and have a deep background in sales and on the phone its almost a neccessity that you are on the phone in each new job just because you are good at.  Recently I have been put in or kind of thrown into which seems to the case in political campaigns the position of field organizer.  I have been doing the followup calls of all the people who said they supported Terry whether it be on the internet or in our office or during campaign events.  So I have spent my last few weeks and weekends calling hundreds of people and seeing if they would be willing to come into our headquarters in Phoenix and help with a phone bank.  Most people love to help us which is great, and I really mean that they are so grateful to hear from me and to learn how the campaign is going, but their are a few who wonder why we are only doing a phone bank right now with only a month to go.

I think the public is used to seeing national campaigns with huge media blitz where every other commercial is a campaign one.  Where one candidate is bashing another or where a candidate is promoting their agenda over the other.  But then there are the state elections, that don't have the same financial backing.  They usually don't even have the same enthusiasm behind them.  Trust me those of us involved work until we cant work anymore until the very end even if we don't get a pay check at the end of the week.  Because we are all working for the same goal, we all believe in the same thing. And that is the issues and the candidate.   But most people especially the younger generation who were so caught up in this last Presidential election will probably ignore this election even though it will have more impact on their lives than they will even realize until the election is over.
