Every voter can help in one or more of the following ways:

• Talk up the importance of the election among friends, neighbors, co-workers, family, church members, etc. Let them know that their votes are crucial in making this election a "watershed" event in returning our country to sanity and core values.
• Ensure that they know that Jim Webb and Shawn O'Donnell are their candidates, and point them to resources which help inform them about the two men.
• Get them to read both paragraphs of Amendment #1, and ask them to vote against it .
• Inform those who are eligible (those who commute, especially) about the option of voting absentee: each registrar must be open for at least eight hours on Saturday for in-person absentee voting .
• Offer to help folks with logistics (driving, babysitting, etc.) to get to the polls or to the registrar.
• Put bumper stickers (see below) for Webb, O'Donnell, and against Amendment #1 on your cars.
• Put up yard signs (see below) for Webb, O'Donnell, and against Amendment #1 in front of your house (or in the windows of your apartments).
• Volunteer[6] to help canvass voters at a polling place on election day, or to help drive voters. Your local committee chairs are:
  • Dan Smolen, Stafford, chair@stafforddemocrats.org
  • Dick Toye (vice chair), Spotsylvania, dicktoye@adelphia.net
  • Helene Kelly (vice chair), King George, rjkelly@starpower.net
  • Tres Seaver, Fredericksburg, chair@fredericksburgdem.org

On to victory!

Note: Signs and stickers are available in limited quantities on the back porch of Ron Smith's home, 1318 William Street (corner of Daniel and William, across from St. Mary's).
