Adopt a District

As some of you already know, the UDFL is adopting a Minnesota House Race for this fall, and we are going to help John Benson win in Minnesota House District 43B. I spoke with Peter Hill, the campaign manager for John Benson, today and he said they need help from 10 am -1 pm this Saturday with canvassing. It's part of a nationwide doorknock effort by the DNC.

Mr. Hill also passed along the following note:

The event this Saturday, for any of your folks who may be interestedand able to participate, is a district canvass as per this information:http://www.democrats.org/page/event/detail/april29canvass/4v5ztYou are all welcome to join us.

By the way, if anyone in your group would like to do a DNC internshipthis summer and/or fall, we have been offered the opportunity toprovide such an internship while you are working for the John Bensoncampaign. We have several campaign positions which would probablywork well as internships. Please have anybody interested in thisopportunity contact me and I will put them in touch with the DNC repwho can set it up.

If you can help out, or are interested in the internship contact him with the information below.

Finally, I want to know how many of you are going to be this summer. It's not some sort of creepy spy thing (I could just get this information by wiretapping you), it's for campaign purposes. John Benson needs our help over the summer and it would be great if you could help out over the summer. Keep in mind this is a great resume booster and when he wins, you'd be in great shape to get an internship or GASP even a job. Please send me an email at seli0052@umn.edu and give me your name, location this summer, and phone number. This goes for you who won't be in Minnesota too. I want us to be organized for the fall. Thanks.
