Canvassing events on April 29th.

From an email I received today from Tom McMahon, Executive Director of the DNC:

On April 29th, thousands of Democrats across the country will be part of the next big step in our drive to build the party infrastructure and bring new people into the political process. At Neighbor-to-Neighbor Organizing Day events in all 50 states, people like you will be making the contacts and getting the experience that will build our organization and bring us closer to victory not only this November, but in 2008 and beyond.

Chances are there's an event near you where folks will be knocking on doors and having conversations with neighbors about the future of our country -- will you join them? You can find an event near you here:

...Whether you're a seasoned campaign volunteer or you've never knocked on a door in your life, this canvass will be a fun and important opportunity to reach out in your community.

...This 50-state canvass is only possible because ordinary people decided to make it happen. You funded the door-hangers and you will be having the conversations with your neighbors on April 29th.

If you want to change this country, it's up to you to take the next step. Please get involved and spread the word!

A quick search of that website shows that there are eight events within 15 miles of my zip code, some of them here in District 20. The two of these that are closest to my house, within a few miles, are:

1. "National Canvass Day LD20", a four-hour neighborhood canvassing event beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning in Sunset Park (East of the corner of Ray and Rural), and

2. "Write a Letter to the Editor Party", a letter-writing event beginning that evening at 7 p.m. at a private residence just south of Ray Rd., between Dobson and Alma School.

There appears to be a bit of confusion on whether that second event is on the 29th, as it indicates twice in that announcement, or on the 21st, as is suggested by one of the sentences in the announcement. I'd suggest anyone interested in the event should contact the host and confirm the date.
