We have just 6 more days to make a difference
1,760 Lib Dem candidates, particularly those defending held seats are counting on you over the next 7 days.
However you look at it, the better our result next week, the better we will placed going into the Euros. Mets and London Borough elections in 2014. We need to hold our ground, as we did in Eastleigh before we move forward.
Our County Candidates need your help!
If you do not have elections in your own area, or yours is not a targeted Division, please volunteer to help either on the final weekend and polling Action Days or as part of the National Phone Bank.
So look at your contact lists and try and put a car load together. All our target divisions will make you very welcome. That extra pair of hands, car or phone could really make the difference in the next few crucial days.
If they can’t make it in person they can always use a phone however far away they live – it’s easy with the Connect Volunteer Phone Banks (VPB’s).
Please let us know how you’re doing, and if there’s anything you’ve spotted that might benefit other campaigners.
To make your life easier we’ve put together guidance and downloads for the final week, Polling Day,Connect on Polling Day and The Count which are linked to this email.
I hope this is useful. Please don’t forget that ALDC is here to help you and we have a website which is packed with the templates, ideas and information to help you with this. Most candidates are already members, but if you’re not you can join online and paper free here, for half price only £3.41 a month.
Happy Campaigning
