Canvassing for Joe

Sen. Lieberman is asking College Republicans to come to Connecticutt to help him with his campaign. If you'd like to join them, be at the Foggy Bottom Metro stop in DC at 6:30 PM on August 4. Busses will transport you to Hartford Connecticut. You'll return on the 9th. Joe will take care of the accommodations. I believe you'll need to contact Elissa Harwood to make arrangements. Contact me for her email address (I don't want anyone to harass her.)

Here are some canvassing tips for when you get to Connecticut.

• Demand that the people you visit make you a sandwich. Tell them that Sen. Lieberman brought you in from out of state and didn't feed you. They'll admire the Senator for his frugality.
• Twitch a lot and tell them how nice it was that Joe arranged prison furloughs for so many of his workers. Then, if the voter is female, compliment her on her taste in jewelry. If the voter is male, tell him that he has a purdy mouth. Never underestimate the power of flattery.
• Remind the voters that Joe is pro-torture, pro-domestic-spying, and anti-habeas-corpus and then say that if they don't vote for Joe, "He will crush you like Stalin!"
• Ask everyone you visit if you can use their restroom. It's a great way to create a bond with the prospective voters you meet.
• Inject a little humor into the visit by making rude noises while you're in the restroom. Laughter helps people connect with a candidate. You might even play a practical joke on them by smearing chocolate on their linens. They'll certainly remember your visit on election day.
