Is there an Obama game plan for volunteers to bring snacks and drinks to polling places?

1. that's a good idea

I think I'll stock up on some stuff in case the people I'm driving the polls need a Scooby snack....

2. I am a Precinct Chair, at training yesterday they instructed us to bring food and drinks

as we will be there ALL day from 6:00 am until (?)

This year we are allowed to bring laptops, but if you don't have a laptop they suggested a book to help during slow times.

If I need additional food or drinks my hubby can bring them to me, we're about a block away from the polls.

3. they were asking for food, etc. in the emails I got about volunteering

I had some lasagna I was thinking about taking over there tomorrow. Of course that might make em all too sleepy!

4. I've got two cases of bottled water in my trunk ready for the drive up to NH

I'll be picking up some snacks tomorrow evening as well. Any recommendations?

6. Granola bars really helped me while canvassing today

7. Packaged Rice Krispy Treats? Sure, it's just sugar, but it's comfort also.

Comfort foods help.

5. I'm a poll worker and I'm bringing the leftover

candy from Halloween to pass out if we get a line waiting. If it really gets crowded, I'll send hubby out for cookies. It's more keeping up the spirits than providing food.

8. Having a few Orange Juice bottles and a few packets of sugar handy would be a good idea. Candy bars

also. I'm not diabetic, just thinking about the risk to them in a long wait line.

9. thanks everyone. I think I'm going to bring supplies for folks standing in line.
