Volunteer
Running a campaign to elect candidates includes lots of little
things; each one is easy and quick but the total is far too much
for the candidates to handle by themselves. You can help!
- Write a Letter to the Editor of a local newspaper: the
Ithaca Journal,
the
Tompkins Weekly,
the
Broader View Weekly,
or even the
Ithaca Times.
A short, personal statement of support, for example
|
Joe Smith has done a great job as Community Gravel Sorter and I am pleased
that he is running for Town of Danby Dog Catcher. I think he will do an
excellent job and I hope you will vote for him on November 3. |
is always effective.
If you need background material, consult our
candidates page.
We don't recommend negative letters, or even mentioning our opponents
directly, but there's a lot of info on our
opponents page.
- Host a Yard Sign: easy, yet effective. Contact
our campaign chair.
No cost to you (but, the signs are expensive, see "Donate", below).
- Mailings: you know, making and applying address labels, runs to
the post office, and all that fun stuff. Work with a few friends, and
it even becomes a social occasion! Contact
our campaign chair.
- Day of Election: become an election inspector. Contact the
Tompkins County Board of Elections.
Meet people, perform a valuable public service, and get paid!
Or, become a poll watcher or a telephone-tree member. Make
sure there's no illegal campaigning in the Town Hall, and/or
collect voter lists and call voters to remind them to vote! Contact
our campaign chair.
Donate
The Danby Democratic Committee raises money to elect Democrats in Danby.
This money is used for educational mailings and yard signs. We only spend a
tiny amount, compared to the mega-million-dollar campaigns waged at the
Federal and State levels, but every dollar counts.
100% of all contributions go towards the campaign.
Contributions to political campaigns are not tax-deductible.
We are required by law to report all contributions of $100 or more
to the Board of Elections, and the names of people who make these
contributions are public information, available to anyone who
inquires at the Board of Elections.
Contributions of $99 or less are anonymous.
You can click on the PayPal button on this page. If you would prefer
to write a check, please make it out to the
Danby Democratic Committee
and send it to
56 Durfee Hill Road
Ithaca, NY 14850
Either way, thank you!
Thank you for contributing to our campaign.
We hope you will be proud of our leadership in local government.
