Sounds great! I’ ll be there.
The Ehrlich campaign has resisted my repeated attempts to volunteer for them, even though I begged the Montgomery County HQ, Mary Kane, and the campaign’s general secretary. Guess they’re incredibly confident of victory so they don’t need volunteers. Fine. Maybe at least I can contact a few more Republicans and conservatives at this Bethesda event.
Ping.
That is interesting to hear. My son tried repeatedly to volunteer for Ehrlich’s campaign this summer and the campaign was silent. I thought it would be a good experience for him, a college junior majoring in communications. Like you, I thought they could use willing volunteers for almost anything, but that does not seem to be their gameplan.
This is an independent rally organized by a longtime, true conservative activist here in the county. He knows that this is sorely needed now especially since the respective leaderships of both the local Ehrlich campaign and the Montgomery County GOP continually fail to rally our local base voters enough to possibly make a positive difference for us this November.
You’re welcome to bring your son, as well as other potential volunteers, to meet our local conservative candidates. This event is G-rated, so parents can feel comfortable bringing their minor children to this rally.
I’m quite exasperated. I have experience in writing professionally for the RNC and working on gubernatorial campaigns in another state. I have excellent political references. I showed up at ehrlich rallies, marched in his parade, worked at the poll for 15 hours straight on primary day, went to meetings and a luncheon with Mary Kane. Spoke to Mary and to Mrs. Ehrlich about my desire to help and told them I’m not working until after the election so I can devote 24 hours a day to the campaign effort. No response.
Mary Kane is very impressive. I hope at some point she runs for governor. Astute woman.
Hope they don’t get stolen.
Monkey County HQ at the old Ford dealership on Rockville pike is staffed by volunteers that are basically daycare takers. Call the Annapolis HQ 410-224-0147.
Will do.
I live in Montgomery, 15 minutes from that old dealership, and it’s in Monky County that Ehrlich needs support. MoCo and Baltimore are his weak spots; he’s probably going to win everywhere else and lose the race in those two spots. You’d think they’d jump at the chance to have somebody working full-time for them in Montgomery. I’m good on the phones and I can talk donors into ponying up, I can write stuff, I can run a computer. I told ‘em I’d scrub the toilets if that would get Bob re-elected.
During these final days of the 2010 electons the best way that Maryland conservatives can help Ehrlich here in Montgomery County is to help our LOCAL candidates get their families, friends and other supporters to support the whole GOP ticket. That will not happen if most of the money and volunteer help continues to go towards merely “kood-aid drinking” for top-of-ticket candidates instead of sincerely helping our local conservative candidates win there races as well.
Btw, Montgomery County has long had the largest number of registered Republicans, as well as independents, in the whole state of Maryland, and “a rising tide floats all ships”. And we have also elected conservatives to both local and state offices in the past.
