What a glorious day! The sun is coming up through the thin fog veiling the land in a gentle light. Our future is limitless and only constrained by our vision. This country is ours and will become what we are willing to make of it. So many have sacrificed so much, many the ultimate sacrifice of their very lives, so that we can create a future with our lives, our families in the country we know and love. America will be who she is because we elect leaders who are committed to defending her, and carrying on the vision of the founders of this country. What will you sacrifice between now and 7p on Tuesday to elect the leaders you want to lead this country?

Step Out Your Door, Fire Up Your Email, Pick Up Your Phone

Some campaigns have a paid staff and financial backing to do media campaigns (you’ve gotten the mailers, right? Heard the radio ads? Called by the organized phone banks?). This is a different campaign, and it is fueled by the energy and passion of you and me and Donna. There are lots of people, like you, who are fired up about defeating Cleaver and electing me to be their Congressman. We need all of you to keep it up today, tomorrow, and Tuesday. Do not look for the cavalry to come over the hill and win our battle against Cleaver for us – it is up to us – all of us, together – all the power of the government lies in We the People. It is time to use your power.

Our forefathers had only the printing press to augment their word of mouth. Today, you can reach hundreds in an instant via email and Facebook and Myspace. You can reach many in a short time by picking up the phone and making a call for Jacob Turk. Do it the old fashioned way, walk your neighborhood or use flyers to paper cars or talk to folks while you are out shopping whether for groceries or home repair items. Voters surround you. Reach out and spread the word.

In the next day and a half take the pledge to contact 100 people any way you desire. Always ask them to do the same to create a giant echo chamber around the 5th District of ordinary citizens spreading the word about Jacob Turk.

Send an email to everyone on your list with your personal testimony of support for Jacob. Ask them to either write their own to everyone they know or forward yours.

Walk your neighborhood or any other in the 5th District. We will supply you with contrast sheets and cards. You will reach voters we have no other way to engage. Call us at 524-6723 or email jacob@turkforcongress.com if you need materials.

Pick up your phone and call all the folks on your list or the people in your church directory you know. We can also supply you with a phone list of voters to call and a script.

Make Your Final Contributions For Our Flyer Fund

We will print as many flyers for election day handout as we have the finances to do so. Go online and make a contribution of $50 or $100 or mail your check for any amount to Jacob Turk for Congress, P.O. Box 2097, Lee’s Summit, MO 64063 (if you mail a check, please email or call us to alert us of the amount so we know how much money we have to spend on election day).

Final Volunteer Opportunity Is Election Day At the Polls

All our voter outreach, including your part today and tomorrow, the hundreds of events Jacob and Donna have done with many of you, the billboards and the newspaper ads have been aimed at giving all of us the shot at replacing Cleaver on election day. To complete the plan, we need you to work the polls for whatever hours you can on election day. Every ‘Please vote for my friend Jacob Turk for Congress’ you speak with a smile on your face can get us 1 more vote right at the polls! That is often enough for lots of people to choose Jacob Turk. For the more curious voters we will have flyers and cards you can hand them.

Don’t let the paid staff Cleaver hires to hand out his materials at the polls be the only voice voters hear as they go to cast their ballot. You will make the difference.

We have over 300 polls to cover in the 5th District of Missouri. For example, 15 in Cass County, 54 in the Lee’s Summit/South Blue Springs/Greenwood area, 7 in eastern Jackson County, 12 in Grandview, 16 in Raytown, 71 in Independence, and 148 spread throughout Kansas City. Take your pick!

As you can tell, it is a big task and with your help we will be successful. Please volunteer and ask some friends to lend a hand also. Our prime time when most voters will be at the polls is between 5:45am and 10:30am. We start at 5:45am in case there are lines before the doors are unlocked because once the doors open at 6am we have to be 25 feet from the entrance. If people arrive early we want them to hear from us while they are waiting.

The other prime time will be when people vote after work, from 3:30pm to 7:00pm. But any hours you can volunteer are a blessing and WILL make a difference. EMAIL ME at jacob@turkforcongress.com or call 524-6723 if you will work a poll and need materials to hand out!

Together we will win!

Politics must change. We are the change.

Sincerely,

Jacob Turk
YOUR candidate for the US Congress
