Kerry Phone Corps question:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

When you are making calls, sometimes people want a number to talk to someone about the event. But it seems like there is never a number for a local HQ coordinating the event. Are the events (canvass etc.) actually being coordinated centrally?

I just feel a bit uneasy when the volunteers ask for a number to call and I can't give them one.

1. i have noticed the same

there is a spot on the page to give them feedback

why don't you write them a note?

3. I did send some feedback there. What I basically said:

-Please label the meeting sites for the canvass appropriately (i.e. Kerry/Edwards Campaign HQ in Columbus OH, instead of just an address), as some people ask about this and I feel a bit awkward having no idea what the place I'm trying to send them to is...

-Please include a contact phone number if possible

-If possible, a web hyperlink to the event if such exists might be nice (either for the caller to bring it up, to answer questions, or to email to the volunteer being called).

2. I have been doing some phone banking

once a week, on Wednesdays. On my script it does gove the phone # for ACT. Unfortunately, the script is there, and I am here. I will try to get it for you, but it probably won't be until Monday

6. Yup.

5. Some events used to have phone numbers

But I've noticed over the last week that none of them have. I've only had one or two people ask me for a phone number, though.
