House Parties

As the election neared of course deadlines started to approach faster and faster.  Deadlines can be a good thing when they keep you in perspective but they can be a bad they when you disregard them and dismiss them.  But no matter what you do they don’t disappear and you need to make sure your work is completed by the time that date comes.  The main deadline that we had was a state-wide house party. 

This was a huge responsibility for our small team of interns.  We were put in charge of calling all the people who said they would be willing to help out in anyway to see if they would host a house party in their home.  As you can imagine this was not an easy task and the number they wanted from us was not small at all.  We were attempting to have 100 house parties throughout the state all at once were Terry would give a thank you conference call and talk about his vision for the future as well.  This task took some planning and improvising but we were able to accomplish it with some creativity.  We were suggested a script to tell people but we gave it our own style and made some other necessary changes to get the goal accomplished. 

I think in the end it came down to people understanding that it was going to take more than just Terry and his staff to win the election.  It was going to require the support of the state, or as much as we could get from the state.
