SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER PROJECT:
November Congressional Elections - Global Solutions Commitments

IN A NUTSHELL:

We asked you to do one or more of the following activities for the Senators we’d endorsed in your state or an endorsed Member of the House of Representatives.

• Host a coffee for the candidate to discuss a more cooperative U.S. foreign policy
• Host a “house party” fundraiser for the candidate
• Volunteer to help out the campaign, e.g. via working at a campaign office, knocking on doors, making telephone calls, or other volunteer campaign activities

We’d like to bring this successful commitment back again.

Now, a commitment requires two parties. The other party is the candidate. What we’d like you to do is ask them if, in return for doing one or more of the above activities, the candidate will pledge to have a photo taken of you and him/her. Also, we’d like you to ask the candidate to thank Citizens for Global Solutions during his/her election night speech. It doesn’t have to be a five-minute thank you, but if s/he can mention Citizens for Global Solutions as one of the many organizations that helped their election effort, that would be phenomenal.

Get to know your candidates, and show them Global Solutions Partners are committed!

 

As we get closer to the November elections, it seems likely that a lot of seats will change hands after all the ballots are counted. While Citizens for Global Solutions PAC has done a lot to engage and educate candidates, it's the constituents that hold true influence over the candidates in this election.

The American public is once again taking a stand against unilateralism and becoming more demanding of international cooperation, and their elected officials will follow suit if they know where the opinions of their districts and states lie.

But, in order to do this, we need your help.

We'd like you to engage your congressmen and senators and help bring the commitment back.

They need to know that you are there supporting them in their race for the Capitol.

Candidates love potential voters. You, our Partners in the field, are the most important people to candidates. We at the National Office can endorse candidates and support their races from DC, but it’s real people like you, in their states and districts, that drive the democratic process in this country and motivate candidates. We’re hoping to win big this fall, winning big for a better world: a better U.S. foreign policy, a better environment, and more justice throughout the world. We want to work with these candidates when they’re elected and your efforts in the field build that relationship for you and for us.

Thank you! Remember, every day, you are changing the world!
