Franklin County Democrats

From Grandpaboy

What would you say to a group of Democrats who had a plan? What would you say if that plan had the enthusiastic endorsement of Howard "The Scream" Dean? What would you say to buying a case of beer, inviting over your neighbors, and calling it activism?

I was able to attend precinct captain training at ODP headquarters last night. They have launched a project to find someone in every neighborhood to work with their fellow Democrats. Currently, there are 150 wards with 920 precincts. Over a hundred of those precincts now have captains, but we need almost 800 more volunteers. With precinct captains in place, we can recruit block captains and create a tight community. This level of efficiency will free up 527s and campaigns to concentrate on areas that need the attention (i.e. outside of Franklin County).

In short, if you live within Franklin County, sign the hell up. If you don't have the time to volunteer as a precinct captain, chip in your $25 bucks for dues. Accurate databases help candidates win, and accurate databases cost money. That's money our local candidates don't have.


This is smart and good work they are doing in Franklin County. This is the type of infrastructure that needs to be created for Democrats to compete in Ohio. If you live in Franklin County, please consider this. If you know someone who lives in Franklin County, please let them know.
