May come up from VA - any ideas?

I'm seriously considering coming up from Virginia and volunteering on Saturday and Sunday where I'm most needed. Does anyone have any ideas who I should contact?

Hi Katherine,
Thanks for your interest and enthusiasm about Scott Brown. We are very excited and optimistic but can't rest for a second or take anything for granted. We have a super candidate and it is vital that we have a strong presence and get our voters to the polls as well as be supportive at events, keep calling, etc.
There have been requests from people from other states who are interested in helping out with volunteering. I would suggest you call one of the regional headquarters. If you go to the very home page of the Website and click on "Volunteer" the regional offices and coordinators are listed. Since you are considering coming from out of state, I woulld start with the Boston Headquarters. They will probably have the best grasp of what is needed in the state and how your talents and skills will best fit in. This is the contact info: 85 Merrimac Street. 4th Floor, Boston, MA. Coordinator: Rob Fortes, tel:617-201-3534. Hope that helps. You can also join one of our brigades on line in the meantime or start your own: VA for Brown,or something and see what response you get. There is a great set up for calling via the internet, It is very effective and volunteers are loving it. People we call love to be speaking to a real person,too. (There is a script...itss super easy!)
Hope that helps and that you make it to MA. We would love to have you help us send Scott to Washington! Emmy

Kristee Kelly and Stan' Brad Marston (Not Official campaign spokesperson) MA Brown Bridgade member mentioned that Are accepting appilcations from the 15th thru the 20th in Boston, MA you'll be volunteering from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. being put at Boston Hotels etc.

Call the Brown headquarters I agree with Emmy's suggestion I would confirm everything with headquarters and bring other people along with you if you can.

I know Brad Marston, he lives in Boston he mention this he mention he drive people from Logan Airport, MA.

Kristee Kelly from Indiana did a wonderful interview to Brad Marston with familar with the campaign. The interview gave a lot good information about MA politics and some information that i didn't know it very informative.

Here is Kristee Kelly's post and video I really enjoyed this.

Hi Katherine, Emmy's response is perfect, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I've never been the least involved in politics until this year, though I was an interested and informed voter-I was never active in working for politicians, Scott Brown is the first one for me. I am constantly surprised and honestly humbled by the massive support conservatives both in Mass and across the country offer selflessly. I'm convinced that Scott is the first step to our taking our country back. Via Washington because you guys took that first step back last year! I wonder if we'd know it were possible if VA and NJ hadn't taken the first stand.

Hi! That's really terrific news! I would suggest you email or call Jill Neuneuber. You can email her at jill@brownforussenate.com. She is the person that is coordinating out of state volunteers. You won't be alone and we could really use your help!

The Scott Brown campaign needs volunteers in Massachusetts starting Friday Jan 15th through election day on Tuesday. Anyone wanting to go to Massachusetts to volunteer can sign up at:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dDhTZzRh...

We NEED volunteers in Massachusetts to get every Brown voter to the polls and keep this legitimate. SEIU, ACORN, MoveOn.org, SOROS, and Organizing for America are all involved now. We can never allow another progressive into Washington!
This is truly the beginning of the Second American Revolution and the left has no idea what true American patriots are capable of!

Katherine,
Just to let you know I'm not with the Brown campaign but just passing on information. If it's easier, you can make phone calls from Virginia and I'm posting a new discussion hoe to join the phone bank right now. People are flying in from Florida and Michigan is sending people.
