that shows the difference that our 50-state strategy has already made in places like Mississippi:
Two field representatives have recruited captains in more than 500 precincts so far, along with volunteers for phone banks and canvassing. "I've been trying to contact the party since I moved back here in 1992," says Harold Terry, 43, a Jackson native who volunteered last week at a phone bank. "Someone finally got back to me three weeks ago."
You and I know we have a moral responsibility to build our party everywhere. We can't win if we don't present a choice to people -- and that includes people in Mississippi.
In less than a week, we're taking the 50-state strategy to the streets in your neighborhood.
On Saturday, July 29th, there will be Democratic Reunion events in all 50 states. What's The Democratic Reunion? It's an opportunity to come together and strengthen the bonds of community that will drive our organization to victory during the final 100 days to the election in November.
Candidates, volunteers and newcomers to our party will all come together for events as varied as precinct canvasses, picnics and phone-banks.
To find a get-together near you just plug in your zip code here:
