wonderful response!!!!

The response to the campaign so far has been great. People seem to be excited. We have lots of volunteers who have not been involved in political campaigns before, and that is superb!

Some of you have heard me say before that my dad lost an election by only NINE votes. Do you know of NINE people you haven't spoken with yet? NINE people that you might could get committed to our campaign? Probably we all know of NINE more we might recruit. Will you find NINE more?

Medium Signs Available

The large signs are up! Lots of medium signs are up.
I have more medium signs in my office; the very small yard signs arrive next week. Thanks to all of y'all!!!!!

Hooray for the Sign Volunteers!

Have you seen the signs yet? Thanks a bunch to our fantastic sign "put-uppers"!!!!! Jim Lahmeyer, Peg Lahmeyer, Jerry Musselman, Pat Gerwig, Dave Gerwig, Larry Shaffer, Janet Collins, Lauryn Sessler!! We have some medium signs left; small ones will arrive in about a week.

If you know of a location that needs a sign, let us know.

Also, several business owners have been willing to put signs in their windows or inside their businesses.

Thanks to everyone!

Voter Registration Forms Available

Saturday (9/15) is the last day to register to vote in the Oct. 16th primary. Voter Registration Forms are available in my office at 107 S. Main Street, Summerville, SC (Steinberg Law Firm). I also will try to keep a few in my car with me between now & Saturday. You may also register with the Dorchester County Voter Registration Board or the Charleston County Voter Registration Board. This is VERY important. Please register -- and vote!

What are the Issues?

Traffic congestion, illegal immigration, children's needs, senior citizens' concerns, continued improvement in schools, NO unnecessary taxes, efficiency in government.

Do you have some to add?

Only FIVE weeks away

It doesn't seem possible that we vote just five weeks from now, but it's true, and the next five weeks will be crammed with activity! Lots of volunteers are working, and so am I. We've done some limited mailing, a few talks to groups, some meetings, out meeting voters, shaking hands, listening, etc.

Your efforts in getting commitments from voters is really, really important. Keep me posted, okay?

Where Are We Now?

Filing closed today. The last I heard, there are 4 Republicans from Dorchester County and 1 Democrat from Dorchester County in the race for House District 94. Reports immediately after the filing deadline indicated no one from Charleston County entered the race.

The primary is the 4-person race, with voting scheduled for Oct. 16 and the likely runoff on Oct. 30. One area expert today said the race would be too close to call, predicting a 25% chance for each of the four!

That means we need to WORK! What does "work" mean in this instance? It means getting commitments, getting folks registered to vote before Sept. 15th, -- just a few days away. It means helping put up signs. It means asking every person you know who is over 18 to help us.

Together, we can do it!
