VOTE! Go McCain! More pix from NV & Torrance Republican hdqtrs too!
November 04, 2008
Here's more pix from the weekend - I've voted. Have you? Please do!
VOTE McCAIN/PALIN ticket!
Sorry, just a little Republican humor.
There's rumor that all 6 million PUMAs (Sometimes called Party Unity My A$%, but they also are called People United Means Action) are angry over the treatment of Hilary Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama's inexperience and the Democratic party.
We heard 2.6 million people will be voting for McCain out of spite. Here's one lady who happens to agree - a lifelong Democrat who said she is now embarrassed and ashamed to have ever voted Democrat and now is a firm McCain supporter.
More Republican humor - sorry Hilary Clinton- just kidding.
These are Sarah Palin's parent's in law visiting the NV call center- don't you love his shirt? I'm an Abba fan too.
Over 90,000 people were visited by all of us walking precincts in NV - just got those numbers after visiting the Torrance Republican Headquarters last night. We also called over 15,000 people. It's been proven that people who have personal face-to-face interaction generally support the candidate they are pitched 75% of the time. Those who receive phone calls it's generally 25%.
Here's another site I just learned about of more Democrats who are NOT in support of Barack called Just Say No Deal - Surprise, surprise - even though the mainstream media won't cover this story - it's a reality folks.
I believe this will be seen once the votes have all been counted.
Go McCain! This little girl looks like what I looked like as a child and was absolutely adorable.
They say that whichever candidate has the most people wearing them as a costume on Halloween it's an indication of who will be our next President. Apparently there was a run on Sarah Palin masks - who knows? LOL
Speaking of Sarah, I got to meet her parents (my left, your right) and parent's in law (opposite). Very nice people. Brought a tear to my eyes to meet such humble sweet people who love their kids so much.
The guy nearest the wall and the hand painted sign was my buddy during the day. He was so funny. He said he was only going to volunteer for one hour and ended up staying for three. He sees the threat to his small business with the increased taxes Obama is going to do and is fighting back. You go boy!
We all had such a great time. This girl was especially hilarious and came out from BYU in Utah. This was a wonderful time on many levels.
My friends Lisa and Brenda with Sarah Palin's brother. I'm holding the sign Rudy signed for me.
There was so much junk food everywhere I was eating my feelings like that upcoming Vince Vaughn movie (whose name escapes me, but you know. The one with Reese Witherspoon?) It was worth every pound.:)
We were served meals by Blue Star Moms whose sons were serving overseas. From their website: "The Blue Star Moms
is a support through service group located in the San Francisco East
Bay. We are moms, joining together to share our pride, our devotion and
our worries for our sons and daughters currently serving in all
branches of the Armed Forces of the United States, and our sons and
daughters who are now veterans.
We first came together shortly after
the terrorist's attacks on 9/11/2001. We are an official chapter of the
Blue Star Mothers of America, a group who formed during World War II."
More military supporters of McCain. Brenda is single gentlemen, but she's no cougar. She and I want real men who have Godly values. Are you reading? Contact me now for the details to join us at tonight's Victory party in Redondo Beach. LOL
Each day we were given books with maps, names and addresses of people to leave material with and encourage people to vote for McCain. One guy, Kenny, the one who left a comment earlier said he spoke to 400 people himself. Go Kenny!
Just as quickly as we arrived, as quickly we were preparing to leave. My new friend Nora says the experience was kind of like going away to winter camp we all bonded so deeply.
This volunteer gave this gag gift to our intrepid volunteer coordinator, Alexis. She was so unflappable. This experience was so organized, so professional, and so exciting to be a part of the Democratic process. Thank you everyone!
We flooded this Burger King while the bus toilet drained. As a joke, I turned to the African American guy behind me and asked him, "So, who you voting for?" Then I told him I was totally joking and he didn't need to tell me. He smiled.
When you're making the calls you ask everyone if John McCain/Sarah Palin can count on their support and since I'd been making calls all day it just felt natural to ask him. Very fun to be so out there.
Another volunteer took it upon herself to put bumper stickers all over the outside area which totally cracked us up. I felt bad, but you have to admit, it was funny. Guerrilla marketing at its best. LOL
The other funny stories from the weekend were the naked guy who was caught sleeping in his recliner as one of my new friends went to his door. Another volunteer teased her that she should have left him a door hanger on his privates that way when he woke up he would know who to vote for. LOL
Then, the other guy who cracked us up was an older Indian looking guy who came to the door wearing what looked like Depends. Bill told us about him after walking away which made both of us as females crack up and happy that we hadn't got that guy.
Then he opens his door, stands on his porch still in his underwear/jock strap and continues to ask questions about McCain and where to vote. We could barely contain our laughter. When I relayed the story to my Dem friend, he busted up and said, must be a Republican. He was right which is the sad part. LOL Totally hilarious.
Go underwear man! Hey, we'll take votes from whoever - at least this man had a house vs. a park bench right? LOL
All of us are still pretty beat, but we went back yesterday to make more calls from our Torrance Republican Headquarters. Oh, before I forget. In Nevada, since I wore my cap and buttons so much I was on the local news a lot when they filmed the call center there. Hey, once a publicist, always a publicist.
Last night after I had settled in to make calls in Torrance I saw a news camera and it turned out CBS was filming us. I saw myself very briefly later on and it was cool to see other friends on the ten o'clock news too. Here's some stills from last night.
We're still making calls and getting out the vote. One thing you have to say about Republicans, we definitely know how to work and not wait for a hand-out. Shall be an interesting race to say the least!
Pete the leader giving us the stats from Nevada to encourage us.
Julie is my good friend from politicking during the Hermosa Beach elections and a former Marine. She has been very involved in the local Republican headquarters and I know they appreciate her organizing skills. Hey! Maybe since she's done community organizing she can run for office too! I don't think she's ever done any other politics, but hey, it works for Obama, why not Julie?
Just kidding Dems. Calm down.
McCain made a surprise visit too. lol So many young kids came out to support McCain which was really thrilling to see. I was very emotional when I saw the hordes of people at the corner of Rosecrans and Sepulveda earlier in the day encouraging people to vote Yes on Prop 8.
I was crying as I drove away because I was so grateful that now I'm not the only "intolerant bigot" who values traditional values and traditional marriage.
I had no idea how divisive the negative language describing this proposition was on the ballot until I went to vote today. Language carries so much weight it's no wonder people are confused what is right.
I hope that if you've been reading my blog, you will know why voting Yes on Proposition 8 is so important. If you have any questions, please go to Protect Marriage.com. Thank you! VOTE YES!
Here's some pix of some of the kids from last night - you should have heard the honks in support! Go Democracy!
Dedicated volunteer and my new friend, Nora, taking instruction from another volunteer while Republican headquarters leader, Pete, looks on.
This has been my motto this entire experience. When all is said and done, I can say with peace that I have done my part as an American to further the Democratic process. I hope you can join me in saying that too!
This guy cracked me up and I leave you with him. He said he's a Chicano for McCain and his mother of 76 years of age is finally seeing the light to vote Republican too.Totally cracked me up.
Go Chicano power! That's all for now. I promise more pix later. Enjoy!
