"Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in. "

From now through June 21, Richland County Democrat volunteers are visiting “persuadable voters” at their homes. These are voters who the Democratic Party of Wisconsin has identified as:
-
Self-identified independents
-
Leaning (but not committed) Democratic voters
-
Leaning (but not committed) Republican voters
In our visits we’re asking voters about their opinions: what they see as the most important political issues affecting their lives and the issues they care about most. We reply with honest rejoinders; we have real conversations.
This is a very different activity than asking people to vote for candidate X and head-counting those who support us. This is how we reach out to people with flexible outlooks. It’s how we combat divisiveness and build community.
If you would like to help with this work, call Dave Chandler at 312-909-9928. He can fill you in on the details.
