Write to an Iowa Precinct Captain or a volunteer« Thread Started on Dec 12, 2007, 7:25am » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have an unusual request for you.I've written a few times before -- my name is Paul Tewes, and I'm the state director for the Obama campaign in Iowa. I'm sure you've already heard about what's happening here, from the tightening poll numbers to the growing energy on the ground.Our campaign has tremendous momentum, but there's a lot to do before the January 3rd caucuses.Here's the challenge...Our ground operation is in full swing, and we're well on our way to recruiting Precinct Captains in all of Iowa's 1,781 precincts.Each Precinct Captain is a volunteer who has taken on a serious responsibility in their local community. They are the backbone of our campaign in Iowa. Barack could not do this without them.Our success depends on the motivation and dedication of these everyday people. They have their own families, their own jobs, and all the other responsibilities of their lives, but they have volunteered to take on this important role in our campaign because, like you, they believe in Barack Obama.Please take the time to share with them a word of encouragement. Share with them the common bond that binds us -- belief in each other, belief in this campaign, and belief in this country. There are two ways you can get in touch -- send an online note or send an old fashioned letter in the mail, care of one of our 37 offices here in Iowa.Write to an Iowa Precinct Captain or a volunteer now.
