Holiday Dessert Party SFVEquality, the San Fernando Valley Equality Team hosted a Holiday Dessert Party where we asked Friends of Equality to bring their favorite holiday dessert and recipe to share.   http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/tracygreene/C2ZL http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/tracygreene/C2ZL/commentary#comments Sat, 19 Dec 2009 07:31:07 PST http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/tracygreene/C2ZL Tracy Greene, DFO http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/profile_picture/9ddc769688c22994e8_30pmv2w04.jpg Tracy Greene, DFO 0 http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2ZL/ 11 of our amazing Deputy Field Organizers and Equality Team members have come out to Maine, as part of the Volunteer Vacation program to work insane campaign ours until the polls close. They arrived over the weekend and have been put to work for No on 1 all over the greater Portland area. Mitchell is helping "cut turf" for all of the canvassing over the weekend. Jasmine has been out on the University of Southern Maine campus encouraging students to vote early and volunteer. Laura is fielding phone calls from Maine voters calling the office with questions. Derrick buried in spreadsheets, helping organize staging locations for election day. The office here has been a buzz of activity, crammed with staff, volunteers and on occasion TV camera crews. The Rachel Maddow show was here yesterday interviewing Governor Baldacci, who previously opposed marriage equality and is now one of its biggest backers. NBC News was also here filming a spot for Sunday. Yesterday some local TV stations came by to film shots of some No on 1 signs that appear to have been shot up by a paintball gun. The Yes on 1 campaign has been trying to make themselves a victim since some of their signs have been defaced and stolen. These types of shenanigans are typical during a heated election, and usually it's just a couple of numbskulls messing with signs instead of doing something productive like talking to voters. Here is a few of our Courage Campaign DFOs, Equality Team members and staff holed up in a small windowless room making calls. Much more to come over the next few days. No matter where you are you can help bring home a victory to Maine. Sign up now to be a virtual phone banker and we will get you trained and on the phones. http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/juliarosen/C2q9 http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/juliarosen/C2q9/commentary#comments Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:12:06 PDT http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/post/juliarosen/C2q9 Julia Rosen, Online Political Director http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/profile_picture/0ca8c47d776c223f85_zb4mv24s8.jpg Julia Rosen, Online Political Director 0 http://couragecampaign.org/page/community/comment_rss/C2q9/ The gracious and disarmingly honest mentor to aspiring fashion designers on the hit TV show "Project Runway, Tim Gunn was kind enough to record this special message for Courage Campaign members.
