Thanks Amy for joining us this week. Here's hoping that you're overwhelmed with volunteers!
A recent article in the New Yorker talked about Dean's volunteers in the Midwest. The bottom line was when you're talking to farmers - be they Blue or Red, your message needs to engage them where their interests are. If it's growing grapes - talk about grapes and how you can help them with your programs. If it's about fishing rights - then talk about how those rights will be protected and enhanced if your candidate is elected. Hard and difficult issues - you bet, but that's where the interest and possible votes are. Here's looking at "blue!"
