First Coast Tea Party's V3 Project

Volunteer + Vote = Victory

Did you know the Obama machine is here from Chicago and they have been re-organizing YOUR city of Jacksonville to benefit their agenda?  Their agenda:  Redistribution of wealth – Your Wealth (or what’s left of it).  We will not sit back and allow Chicago thugs, tactics and out of town people to mess with our city.  (Check out the NY and NJ license tags around town with Alvin Brown stickers on their cars!)  Who the heck do they think they are?  If this makes you as mad as it makes us, then join us on the V3 Project and Save Our Town from the likes of these scoundrels.  We will send you a new post every day giving you ideas on how to Volunteer and Get the Vote Out.  Here are a few Volunteer ideas to get you started:

Walk the Vote -- Volunteer to Walk for your favorite candidate or just go door to door and ask your friends and neighbors to vote in this important election.  Make this a fun time and bring along your best friend or family members and talk while you walk.  Catch up with your friends while you Walk the Vote.  Walking for votes will help conservatives win and will help us lose a few pounds too! 

• Care to know who FCTP endorsed?  Check out all endorsements at:  http://www.fctpcommunity.org/page/2011-candidate-questionnaires

• Start walking for Mayoral Candidate Mike Hogan this weekend and check out other times you can Walk the Vote.  If you have any questions, contact Gary Hollis at 904-608-6570 or garydhollis@gmail.com

Walk the Vote Video Contest – If you Walk the Vote, please sign up to win a FCTP Walk the Vote gift basket comprised of cool political t-shirts, hats, bumper stickers and yummy goodies.  In order to qualify, you must submit a video of you walking the vote.  Have fun and be creative.  Videos must be submitted to:  admin@firstcoastteaparty.org no later than May 10^th.  The Leadership Council of the FCTP will vote on the best video and will award the Walk the Vote gift basket on Election Day May 17^th. 

Walk the Vote Pedometer Contest – Purchase a cheap pedometer or add a pedometer app to your phone.  Submit a picture of your pedometer showing how many miles you walked in the Walk the Vote. FCTP will award a custom designed tee shirt to the winner.  The tee shirt will state:  I WALKED (BLANK) MILES IN THE WALK THE VOTE CONTEST AND WON THIS T-SHIRT.

Here’s what you need to do to participate:

• Prior to beginning your Walk, sign up and submit your name and email address along with a picture of your pedometer showing zero miles to:  admin@firstcoastteaparty.org. 
• Keep Walking and use your pedometer every time you Walk the Vote.
• On or before May 10^th – send in a picture of your well-used pedometer showing the mileage.  Submit a note indicating the Walk the Vote days/dates you actually walked and for which candidates.  Submit this information to:  admin@firstcoastteaparty.org.

Watch the Vote – The Supervisor of Elections is in desperate need of Poll Watchers on Election Day, May 17th.  With the large amount of out-of-town-scoundrels hanging around our town, we believe this is vitally important to ensure the elections are squeaky clean! 

We will be working with the Supervisor of Elections and assigning our very own tea party members to certain polling areas.  If you are interested in poll watching, please contact our office at (904) 683-3945 or admin@firstcoastteaparty.org. 

We will have a Training Session for poll watchers on Thursday, April 28^th at 7:00 p.m. at tea party headquarters.  When you call to sign up, please indicate if you can attend this event.  If you are unable to attend the training session and still want to Watch the Vote, we will find a way to personally get you trained. 

This is VERY IMPORTANT and we are willing to do all it takes to ensure the polls are watched and those scoundrels will not be messing up our clean elections.

NOTE:  If you can only give a couple of hours to Watch the Vote on May 17^th, that is okay.  You do not need to commit to a full day at the polls.  (If you can commit to a full day- that would be great too!) 

NOTE:  If you are a business owner, consider letting your employees take a few hours off on May 17^th so they can volunteer as a Poll Watcher.  Maybe a business could even take a precinct and man a certain polling place for the entire day.  Think about that and let us hear from you.

CALL:  (904) 683-3945 – get on the list to Watch the Vote
