Democratic Sign Distribution
We need YOUR help to get signs out to residences and polling places.
Residential Delivery
We have 1800 straight party signs to deliver. Starting Friday we will have turfs of about 30 houses in the Southern and Western parts of Dallas County ready for pick up.This will continue until election day, or we get them all out. We need all the help we can get.
Early Vote - Adopt a Poll
There are 32 early vote locations. The Party is coordinating delivery of straight party and candidate signs to each location. We need volunteers to take them out Sunday, October 17. We also need someone to "adopt" each poll to monitor the signs over the 2 week early voting period.
Election Day
For Election Day we want to cover 200-300 polling locations with candidate and straight party signs. Each volunteer will be assigned a number of polls to place signs at. Distribution will be Monday, November 1.
If you are intrested in any of these programs please contact Sarah Duncan at 214-821-8331 or by email to saduncan.dem AT gmail.com.
