John,
I hope you're staying warm in this cold, snowy weather.
On our end, the news just keeps getting better.
As the architect of the Maine GOP’s national award-winning 2014 field and data operation I need to tell you, there has never been a better organized and stronger Republican program than what we have right now in 2020 working as a team with the RNC and Trump Victory.
Just the other day when we announced the people’s veto of RCV we had more than 3,000 people tell us they would sign a petition and more than 200 people volunteered to collect signatures to repeal RCV.
The Maine GOP / Trump Victory field team has knocked on doors all over this state. They hit their goals (often, they far surpass them!) every week since the cycle began.
But I'm also writing to tell you – we really need your help.
Our "troops" are now in every quarter of the state, fighting the battle to help President Trump. We have Republicans holding caucuses, organizing, registering voters and collecting signatures for candidates to get them on the ballot.
This is a whole-ticket effort. We can’t just re-elect President Trump. We have to send him reinforcements and we have to elect Republicans to stop Janet Mills in Augusta.
And because, here in snowy February, we have so many troops in the field, we must keep the supply lines full.
It looks like Democrats are poised to nominate Bernie (Socialist) Sanders as their Presidential nominee. We could be looking at a head-to-head match up with an avowed socialist trying to become the leader of the free world.
Right now, our team in the field is strong and morale is high. Polling shows President Trump emerged from impeachment stronger. Gallup says the views of Americans on the economy, national security and many other issues are at incredible highs.
But to keep this momentum, we need to keep growing and moving forward.
Every day, dozens of requests come in for more petitions, new candidates, more voter lists, more email invitations to local events. This is a good problem to have, but it costs money.
Our work extends so far beyond what we typically post on social media or send to you in emails. We are not just growing on our own – we are growing, equipping and supplying every Republican group we work with that asks for help.
We expect another wave of volunteers for President Trump and another wave of volunteers to collect signatures to repeal RCV any day now.
We have a strong, spirited and growing army out in the field across Maine – but we need to keep them well-supplied so we can turn back the socialists at our gate.
Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Jason Savage
Executive Director
Maine GOP
