One Year To Win Weekend of Action

By Obbie King

Please join us in an opportunity to engage with your neighbors. This article is more evidence of why the upcoming “One Year To Win” canvasses on November 2nd and 3rd are so vital: “Wisconsin could decide the 2020 presidential race; both sides are in full battle mode” ( L. A. Times Thursday October 24, 2019).

The La Crosse County Democratic Party is conducting this Weekend of Action from two locations. In Onalaska, we will work from 1343 Pinecrest Lane; and our La Crosse base will be at Java Vino, 2311 State Road (on the NW corner of State Road and Losey Blvd.).

Each site will have four shifts available, three on Saturday and one on Sunday. The Saturday shifts are 9am – noon, noon – 3pm, and 3 – 6pm. Sunday’s shift is from 11am – 2pm.

The response is phenomenal! We have over 60 canvassers signed up already with over a week to go. What an impact we will have if we can send out 100 or more canvassers to learn what inactive voters are thinking!

You can sign up to participate thru the links below:
