ACTION THIS WEEKEND: Real Democrats in Ohio for McCain; Harriet Christian in Scranton, PA, for McCain
By Truthteller on October 14, 2008 at 9:02 PM in Ohio, Pennsylvania
Please consider volunteering for or donating to the Real Democrats’ RV tour of southern Ohio this weekend. They will depart from Columbus, Ohio, on Friday, and they will canvass towns and festivals in areas of southern Ohio that voted heavily for Hillary Clinton during the primary on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Real Democrats also wants to thank No Quarter for all the support you offered last week. They have almost reached their fundraising goal, and they want to ensure they have enough for gas, fliers and accommodations this weekend. And if they raise enough, they promise to storm Pennsylvania and Virginia before the election. Please consider donating if you cannot join them this weekend. All contributions, large and small, are welcome. And volunteers are welcome on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday or for the whole weekend. The more there are, the more effective Real Democrats will be.
Here is their press release with important contact information:

Now for SusanUnPC on Harriet Christian’s group in Scranton, PA
===================================================
If you can’t do the Ohio jaunt (but you still will want to donate to help our McCain Democrats make their Ohio campaign a success), you can’t pass up joining Harriet Christian this Saturday, and every weekend until November. Harried wrote to me today about the coolest person-to-person campaign blitz in Pennsylvania this Saturday, where you’ll travel from Penn Station in NYC to Scranton, PA, and back home to NYC in the evening. UPDATE: E-mail Harriet at hchristian@infnyc.com to CONFIRM, hopefully by mid-afternoon Thursday.
The best parts: The bus trip is free for you, and you’ll meet Harriet and other McCain/Palin supporters. This trip couldn’t be easier: You’ll be helped and given everything you need!
The details: The bus taking you to Scranton leaves NYC’s Penn Station at 9:00 a.m. sharp. Meet up outside Penn Station, along West 31st St., before the corner with Eighth Ave. The bus arrives in Scranton at 11:00 a.m. You’ll return to the bus at 6:00 p.m. and get back to Penn Station @ 8:00 p.m.
NOTE the Scranton location correction: “If you want to drive to Scranton,” Harriet says, “meet up with everyone coming from NYC at @ 11:00 at Scranton’s McCain/Palin campaign office at 430 Lackawanna Ave..” GO TO Democrats for McCain at 420 North Main Ave., Scranton, PA 18504. More details follow:
Here’s more from Harriet:
Flyers and other materials will be provided by the McCain campaign. They have flyers for Hillary supporters in Scranton – Hillary won by almost 70% there.
Tell people to dress comfortably – and to wear layers – in case the weather changes.
This is the first weekend trip. The free buses will be provided by the McCain Campaign every Saturday and Sunday for the rest of the campaign.
If I weren’t a few thousand miles away, I’d be there in a heartbeat!
