The Democratic Reunion in Scotch Plains, NJ has been such a success! People began arriving at the Stender Headquarters around 10:15am. By 10:45 the office reached maximum capacity and people were spilling out onto the front lawn.
At 11:15 things got underway. We held a rally in front of headquarters. Linda joined DNC Finance Chair Phil Murphy and Governor Corzine on the front porch to speak to the crowd before hitting the street to canvass with volunteers, stuff envelopes, and work the phones on behalf of Democrats running for office in New Jersey.
The group varied in age from 18 to 81, but they all rallied together, united behind the idea of going out to spread the Democratic Vision for America. Even though it was close to 100 degrees in the sun today, our volunteers were energized and ready to go!
It was encouraging to see the dedication and pride of so many
Democrats in New Jersey. They were willing to put up with the heat and
humidity to see three leaders speak and then go on to reach out to
their fellow neighbors. We all know how important Linda’s race is this
November. Today’s event was the perfect way to celebrate the team we
have built and to raise the profile of her canvassing efforts!
Because so many volunteers showed up, we were able to canvass every
single Democratic and unaffiliated District in Scotch Plains, Fanwood,
and North Edison. In a single day we will be able to reach thousands of
voters. After seeing the energy and dedication of Democrats here in New
Jersey, I know the next 100 days are going to be amazing as we run
towards Election Day and Victory in 2006.
There's a great diary on Daily Kos from Mr. Liberal with a report from the scene.
