Southwest Victory Express

Hey boys and girls, put on your wallking shoes and get ready to have fun and help out the Dean campaign in New Mexico and Arizona. If we get enough people signed up they may be able to charter a bus directly from the Bay Area. Go to http://swve.deanforamerica.com to get more info or to sign up. (Reposting the following info from the swve website)

Win Early With the Southwest Victory Express
The current administration and its supporters are counting on an extended battle for the Democratic nomination. A long fight would drain resources from our candidate, and distract attention from George Bush's failing right-wing agenda. The most important thing we can do to take back our country is to help Howard Dean win the nomination early.

Do your part to Win Early by joining us on the Southwest Victory Express. In late January 2004, travel with 1,000 other Dean supporters from across California and the West to the battleground states of Arizona and New Mexico. Spend a weekend working with local volunteers to help ‘Get Out The Vote!’

This will be the second time Californians have stepped up to the plate for Governor Dean in this vital region. Our last effort was recognized by the national campaign as a huge success, and the participants had an experience they’ll never forget. Get onboard again, or be part of the fun for the first time. No experience is necessary—just a firm determination to take your country back from the special interests in Washington.

Free transportation and accommodations will be provided to volunteers who can raise $100 for ‘Dean for America’ from their friends and family. Easy-to-use contribution forms and information packets will be available at your local Meetup on Wednesday, January 7th. Sign up now to or call (323) 965-9933 to reserve your space today.

Travel Dates
We’re sending two waves of volunteers to Arizona and New Mexico: January 23 – 25 and January 30 – February 1. Additionally, we are looking for a group of supporters to stay till Election Day on February 3rd.

DESTINATIONS
The Southwest Victory Express is working with our friends in Arizona and New Mexico to place volunteers in the areas where they are needed the most. We’d appreciate if you were flexible with your travel destination, especially if you are provided with free transportation by the campaign.

Volunteers have already been requested by Arizona in Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff, Pima County and Cochise County. New Mexico has slots open in Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Santa Fe and Taos.

After submitting your registration form, you will receive more detailed travel information. At that time, if you are unable to travel to your assigned destination, you are welcome to request another location by e-mailing us: swve@deanforamerica.com.
