NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORKS ELECTION PLANS

We Need All NN'ers to Work the Fall Campaign

July 14, 2008

By Stan Diamond

The major topic at the Steering Committee Meeting on Sunday, July 14 was our effort to get ready to be effective in the upcoming election. That means registering as many Obama voters as possible, getting as many volunteers on the street before and on Election Day, and getting our voters out to vote. We need Pennsylvania in the Obama column and we can be instrumental in putting Obama over the top....

Make MORE out of your Obama support through Neighborhood Networks, your LOCAL organization.

Where: The Patio of Wm Penn House

“These are the times that ...”

... oh, you’ve heard that before? You already knew that?

Well here’s something you may not know: there are thousands of unregistered voters in the 8th ward. That’s potentially thousands of Obama voters who will not be counted for Obama unless someone gets them registered and someone helps get them to the polls.

That someone can be YOU. Neighborhood Networks can show you how easy it is to:

1) locate unregistered voters right where you live;
2) help people fill out the registration forms;
3) get the forms back to Neighborhood Networks for submission to the Election Board;
4) and a bonus benefit from working through NN �" you’ll be increasing the political capacity among your own neighbors (fellow Philadelphians!) for issues facing all of us in the future. The Obama campaign can’t do that for you, and they won’t.

Larry Farnese Meets 15th Ward Neighborhood Networks

Keeping Active and Involved in the 15th Ward

By Bill Sensiba

June 10, 2008

Wow! What a night. You know what happens when you get a group of like-minded political activists together in a contained space��"bedlam. But what fun. Everybody was so busy talking away in small groups that Polly and I could barely get them to shut up and listen to NN's organizing plans for the summer voter registration and fall campaign (members will get an e-mail covering that shortly). They did quiet down and listen attentively, however, when Larry Farnese appeared....
