The first thing you have to do is to sign up online as a campaign volunteer. If the candidate’s volunteer form asks what you are interested in, click make phone calls. Otherwise, when the campaign contacts you, let them know. If you speak a second language, be sure to say so, dilo.
 
The campaign will train you, provide a script to use and a list of registered voters to contact along with a way to document the results of your calls. You’ll sign up for a shift.

When you are making your calls, there may be no answer, or you’ll hit voicemail. The campaign will let you know whether to leave a voicemail and if so, what message to leave.

 
You’ll hit wrong numbers, disconnected numbers, dedede the number you have reached is not in service at this time. Next. Keep calling.

And then of course, folks will answer the phone. They may be open to your call, and you give them your spiel. Or it’s a bad time, and the campaign needs to call back. You’ll note that.

Someone may be politely uninterested in our candidate, and on occasion, someone’s unpleasant. Shake it off. Stay focused. Next! Keep calling. 

This “out-of-the-limelight” task is central to our campaign victories.

What I’ve laid out is good for any campaign with remote phone banking capabilities.

Right now, I’m focusing on the U.S. Senate campaigns. Remember we need to elect TWO additional pro-choice Democrats to the Senate.

That’s why I’m recommending four really great Democratic candidates who can flip U.S. Senate seats currently held by the MAGA types.

Tim Ryan in Ohio, Cheri Beasley in North Carolina, John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, and Val Demings in Florida. 

In addition, we have four great Democratic U.S. Senators who we must get re-elected, and they need our help.
 
Senators Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada, Mark Kelly in Arizona, Rafael Warnock in Georgia, and Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire.
 
You’ll find their links in bio as well as on this website SassyPoliticalCoach.com.

When we elect these folks in November, they take office on January 3rd. And BAM! That’s when they can kill the filibuster and rock and roll on women’s reproductive healthcare decisions, gun safety, voter rights, marital equality, the environment, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, expand the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, and so much more.
 
We, the fabulous members of the Hell Hath No Fury Brigade, can make this happen! Si, se puede. Yes, we can!

Now you make sure to let the campaign know that the Sassy Political Coach sent you.

Thank you for helping to create our BIG BLUE WAVE!
