MEETING MONDAY

First off, just a reminder that we have a meeting this Monday Sept 25th at 5pm in the Board Room (307) in Coffman Memorial Union. We also will be tabling from 2:00 to 4:30 Monday at Contact Table #1 in the basement of Coffman.

Okay gang, now things are going to start to get a little more intense as we close in on the election a scant 44 days away. 44 days which is a lifetime in politics, but not for us because we need to ramp up our efforts to churn out voters this fall.
A few upcoming events:

*Monday Sept 25th UDFL meeting room 307, the Board Room of Coffman Memorial Union. Afterwards we are going to head over to the Youth Coordinated Campaign at 2829 University Ave SE to help them phone bank and collect free food.

*Wed Sept 27th we will be going to the Twins game. Justin will be organizing that. We will likely meet at 6pm Wed in front of Coffman, but stay tuned for more information

*Thur Sept 28th we will be doorknocking in Middlebrook Hall to ID voters and hand out absentee ballot information. We need volunteers, so please respond and give a couple hours. The more volunteers, the shorter it is. We need 16 people for this. Four teams would work.

*Friday Sept 29th and Saturday Sept 30th there is a political science conference in room 184 of Humphrey. Check out the link below for more information.

*Just to let you all know. This is going to be the weekly plan:

-Monday: we have our meetings and afterwards helping out the YCC afterwards

Wednesday/Thursday: Doorknocking from 7 to 9pm at various residence on campus

Sunday: John Benson doorknocking in Minnetonka. Rides are provided. This is a 2-3 hour total committment.

This is a critical election. 3 separate polls show the governor's race tight. The Senate race is looking good but I won't relax until the votes are tallied. John Benson could be the decisvie seat that gives the DFL control of the Minnesota House.

I'm asking all members to commit to at least 5 hours a week (that's 2 of the events) from now until Nov 7th at 8pm.

Thanks.
