Where
do
I
get
the
bodies?

early.

else
you
can

2. Important
Note
–
Your
volunteers
do
not
have
to
live
in
your
town!
a. Many
of
your
volunteers
may
be
helping
because
of
their
relationship
to
YOU
and
will
want
to
work
with
YOU!!
b. “Carpet
Bagging”
is
not
only
allowed
but
encouraged!!
c. A
volunteer
can
organize
an
area
without
living
in
it
–
technology
is
a
wonderful
thing!
3. What
will
we
be
doing?
a. Things
that
begin
with
“S”
–
signatures,
signs,
support.
b. Signatures
–
without
them
nothing
else
matters!

callers
–
the
gold
standard
of
campaign
volunteers

–
money
and
votes.

can
also
donate

parties.

by-­‐laws.
4. Assigning
your
volunteers
–
matching
the
skill
to
the
need.
a. Three
types
of
volunteers.
I.
I’ll
do
anything!
II.
I
can
do
this
or
that.
III.
I
can
do
this
but
I
DON’T
DO
THAT!
(Usually
phone
calls
or
donate
money.)
5. The
art
of
gentle
persuation.
a. You
may
have
people
who
prefer
to
do
A.
but
you
need
B.
done.
If
you
can
get
them
to
do
some
of
B.
make
sure
they
get
to
go
back
to
A.
b. Respect
the
I
DON’T
DO
THAT’S!
c. Show
that
you
are
willing
to
do
anything
that
