Dear Friend,

November 2 is quickly approaching, and it is important that we begin to organize. The Mississippi Democratic Party is partnering with Organizing for America to target key first-time Obama voters. We are going to have to diligently work to encourage these voters to return to the polls in November. These voters turned out in record numbers in 2008 and will help us reach our goal of winning our midterm election.

We have designated June 26 as the Mississippi Day of Action. We need you as Democratic leaders to begin to organize in your communities. Mississippi Day of Action will allow YOU to begin to cultivate a personal relationship with these voters that could be the added force that will push us over the threshold of success.

The Mississippi Democratic Party needs you to find at least five volunteers in your county that will be willing to canvas or participate in a phone back. MDP and OFA will provide all of the walking and calling lists for the area. All that we ask you and your volunteers to do is record the results and send the information back to the State Party headquarters.

The Republican Party desires to steal our three Democratic seats in the 1st, 2nd and 4th congressional districts, yet the party of the Big Tent is not only determined to defend the seats of Congressmen Childers, Thompson and Taylor, but also to help elect Joel Gill in the 3rd Congressional district.

If you have any questions please contact Jason Harper at jason@mississippidemocrats.org or 601-969-2913.
Democratically yours,

Jason Harper
Field Director
