Contact some friends of yours. Pick someone's house that can accomodate 40 people, give or take. Invite the folks over for hotdogs, hamburgers and sodas (the campaign will cover the cost, though folks should be prepared to chip in for the food). Whether they also support my campaign is an open question to be answered at the end of the meeting.
Let me know when and where to come, and I'll be there, and talk about whatever the folks on hand want to cover. This offer is not just to you, but to anyone in the District. As my website says, I will go to any civic meeting, anywhere in the District, to speak about whatever subjects they choose. I will ALSO go to any home meeting, for the same purpose.
To make efficient use the limited number of days between now and November a year from now, I seek to go to meetings -- civic or home -- with at least 40 people present. I'll state my goal right here, in front of everybody. I want to speak in person, with at least 10,000 people in the 11th District, with every one of them having the opportunity to ask whatever question they want, and to have my answer in plain English and on the spot.
Very few candidates for Congress -- incumbents or challengers -- have ever set a goal like that for their campaigns. But I have. And I'm willing to live or die by the results.
