We Need Canvassers!

Posted on

A woman standing in her front doorway is talking with another woman who has come by to canvass her neighborhood.

There’s a big need for canvassers this election season:

  • Every Saturday: 10 am, 1pm, and 4pm
  • Every Sunday: 1pm and 4pm

We meet at the Coordinated Campaign Office, 1410 Incarnation Dr., Suite 203.

Canvassers are trained at the Charlottesville Democratic Coordinated Campaign Office (1410 Incarnation Dr., Suite 203) and leave from there to knock on doors – a high-priority activity right now!

The Harris-Walz and Kaine campaigns are working from this office until the election, and we will work there, too, to get Gloria Witt elected and vanquish John McGuire’s campaign.

“The “field” team at the Harris/Kaine/Witt office (Charlie and Jack) will train you, set you up with a great list of doors to knock, all on your (charged up!) cell phone, and give you a paper map and candidate literature (to get your canvass going more quickly, retrieve your Apple ID, which you’ll need in order to download the MiniVan app, before you go).

So come by, volunteer, and join our successful election this season!

Yard Signs! (some available now, some soon)

An all-text yard sign with a dark blue background and mostly white letters reading "Harris for President, text JOIN to 30330"Signs are available at the Coordinated Office (1410 Incarnation Dr., Suite 203) for Sen. Tim Kaine and Gloria Witt.

Signs for the Harris presidential campaign are coming soon. There are Harris-Walz paper printouts to attach to existing signage (but they may not be waterproof).

If you’re interested in distributing signs, please contact co-chair Nancy Damon at NancyCDamon@gmail.com

Gloria Witt campaigns July 3, 2024, shaking hands with a person in Bedford, VA

Things to know about Gloria:

  • She grew up working on her family’s farm in Amherst, VA, and learned to drive a tractor at age 14. Her family encouraged her to pursue higher education.
  • After saving her farming money and buying a car for transportation, she went to college, with the encouragement of her family.
  • She earned a degree in Communications and Economics from Randolph College.
  • Gloria had a 32-year career with global energy company, Framatome, in Lynchburg.
  • She is using her time and energy during retirement to help others through NAACP and the Central Virginia Academy for Nonprofit Excellence.
  • She decided to run for office because she she could not stand by and watch rights trampled for women, minorities, and the LGBTQA community, and the disintegration of education and voters’ rights. These problems are perpetruated by our current 5th District Rep. Bob Good and supported by John McGuire, Trump’s latest hand-picked Republican candidate in the 5th District.

Help Gloria’s campaign by canvassing, phoning, and donating so she can communicate with voters!

Canvassers leave the Coordinated Campaign office with names and literature:

  • Every Saturday: 10 am, 1pm, and 4pm

Please pick up canvassing sheets with names and addresses and campaign literature at the office:

We’re using the space for canvassing and other activities related to electing on November 5:

  1. Gloria Witt for the Fifth District congressional seat now occupied by Bob Good (Good lost the Republican primary to another MAGA extremist more loyal to Trump than Good was)
  2. Senator Tim Kaine to retain his seat by defeating yet another Republican MAGA extremist Hung Cao (e.g. anti-abortion, pardons for January 6 insurrectionists, etc.)
  3. Kamala Harris as our first female President!!!

Hung Cao at the Republican National Convention Trash Talks Senator Tim Kaine

Posted on

A photo of a smiling Senator Tim Kaine wearing a blue shirt.Cao said at last weeks Republican convention:

“I’m running against Hillary’s running mate, Senator Tim Kaine. He is a weak man in a dangerous world…..Kaine is a career politician with millions to show for it. I’ve been a warrior with scars to prove it.” (per Youtube video)

The Kaine Campaign notes that Cao:

1. Is a democracy denier who has not only peddled conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, he’s pledged to release and even compensate convicted January 6th insurrectionists.

2. Opposes women’s reproductive rights, supporting legislation that would drastically and cruelly limit abortion access all across the country (and even compares abortion to the Holocaust).

3. Refuses to accept the reality of the climate crisis, saying he doesn’t think climate change is real and even called the entire concept a “boogeyman.
