NCDP Eastern Caravan: A Road Trip with a Purpose

Post from North Carolina Democratic Party, 220 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, NC 27603. http://www.ncdp.org 08/03/07

The North Carolina Democratic Party is going on a road trip on Friday, August 10th through Sunday, August 12th in eastern North Carolina.

Road trips usually conjure memories of dusty roads, rocking out to bad 80s music, and quirky roadside attractions like Fire House Fred or the world’s biggest frying pan.

But our road trip has a purpose. Many counties in the east are Democratic strongholds with lower than ideal levels of voter turnout. If we hope to win big statewide in 2008, it’s critical that voters in the east make their voices heard!

Volunteers from across the state will hit the road, working with local activists, registering voters, canvassing, performing community service projects, meeting with candidates and elected officials, and listening to the ideas and concerns of eastern North Carolinians.

Young, College and Teen Democrats will team up with folks from the NC Democratic Party, including NCDP Chairman Jerry Meek. The caravan will leave Raleigh at noon Friday, August 10th and return Sunday evening, August 12th.

If you would like to join the caravan, or if you live in or around the counties of Robeson, Sampson, Pitt, Bertie, Northampton, Pasquotank or Lenoir, we want you involved. For more information, or to sign up, contact the project coordinator, Drew Ball, at (919)821-2777 ext. 206, or e-mail him at dball@ncdp.org.

Life is a journey. Take this opportunity to define your own road.
