Chris Lien for Congress

Thanks for everything YOU did to make a difference!

Well, the election cycle has come to a close and, consequently, so has the 2008 Chris Lien for Congress campaign. We here would just like to thank anyone and everyone who helped over the last year. We had so many awesome, awesome volunteers, contributors, and supporters throughout Chris’s Congressional run and we could have never been as successful as we were without you. Whether it was walking in one of the many parades, attending a meet and greet, putting up a yard sign or 4x8, or making calls on the day before Election Day, everybody came together to bring Chris from a small level of name recognition to over 120,000 votes, and that’s something to be proud of.

 

We genuinely appreciate everybody’s efforts and contributions and we hope that you will continue to show your support for your local candidates and your national candidates in the future. This is a great state full of great people and your hard work is what turns a hard and arduous Congressional race into a worthwhile journey for Chris. We just want to thank you for joining us on this journey.

If you need any information on where to vote or whether you are registered to vote, check out the Secretary of State’s website (by clicking here) for all of the information you are looking for.

If you have ANY questions whatsoever, e-mail mike@chrislienforcongress.com and let me know. I will find answers as quickly as I can.

Only ONE more day until Election Day - Show your support for Chris Lien!

Well folks, we’ve had a busy, busy day (being the day before Election Day and all) and I apologize for the lack of today’s 43 Day Plan suggestions, but I’m back on the computer and I’ve got them right here!

The first suggestion shouldn’t be too hard. Simply text or e-mail 10 friends this message: “Don’t forget to vote for Chris Lien!” While you’re at it, feel free to encourage them to pass that message along to 10 people. The votes could really add up if people remember to spread the word, so I hope we can rely on YOU to do that.

Another way to have a big impact before tomorrow’s election is to change your MySpace or Facebook status to “Don’t forget to vote for Chris Lien – www.chrislien.com.” This could have a big effect on undecided voters, so change your status and let people see who you believe will bring South Dakota solutions to fix the brokenness in Washington.

We have tons of action going on so if you want to help out in any way, e-mail me at mike@chrislienforcongress.com and I’ll help you figure out a way to make a difference and have an impact. Thanks for everything you have done so far and we appreciate your support!

Only 3 days left, but still plenty of time for YOU to have an impact!

What would you do if I told you that you only had 3 more days to help get the word out about Republican U.S. House candidate Chris Lien?

If you’re anything like me, you would check in on today’s 43 Day Plan suggestions and show your support of Chris Lien by taking on the suggestions and making them happen!

So what can you do today with only 3 days until Election Day? First of all, you can forward a recent article about Chris to 5 friends. Give your friends a reason to vote for Chris (or at least learn more about him before November 3rd) by sending them a news story or two that can fill them in. Want some examples? Well, check out this story from the Associated Press (click here) or this story from Jonathan Ellis at the Argus Leader (click here). Or, send them video footage that they can watch or listen to while they’re working (for example, you can send them a link to the KELO debate by clicking here).

Also, a big thing you can do is call 10 Chris Lien supporters and remind them to vote for Chris on Tuesday. That personal contact can make a huge difference when making an important decision like voting, so make sure that your friends and family know who the right choice is for South Dakota’s lone U.S. House seat.

So, we’ve really gotta push during these last 3 days, and we are relying on YOU to help us make the difference we need for Chris to win. Everything you do will have an impact, so don’t hesitate to make these things happen, and if you have ANY questions at all, please e-mail mike@chrislienforcongress.com. I’m here to answer any questions and help in any way I can, so hit me up if you need anything.

Good luck with the articles and phone calls!

Neighborhood Blitz – We want YOU to join us!

Folks, we have got an exciting day today and we want YOU to be a part of it. We will be blitzing neighborhoods all around Rapid City with yard signs give away and literature to pass out, so if you want to help, we’d love to have you show up and be a part of it.

While it’s fairly short notice for the start today (10 a.m.), you can send me an e-mail if you’d like to meet up with us somewhere and join us for the blitz. As soon as I get your e-mail I can tell you where we plan to be as the day goes on, so if you want to join us, e-mail mike@chrislienforcongress.com

We’ll also be stopping for lunch and then regrouping to go out in the afternoon, so if the afternoon might be a little bit more available for you, e-mail me and let me know. I’ll be happy to point you in the right direction to join us.

Also, this doesn’t need to be a strictly Rapid City neighborhood blitz. If you live somewhere else in this beautiful state and want to go door to door telling people about Chris, you are more than welcome to do that (and that personal contact may just be enough to convince an undecided voter to vote for him).

So, join us for today’s Neighborhood Blitz, or fire one of your own up. Either way, we only have FOUR days to get the word out about Chris, so there’s no time to waste!

Thanks for your help, and if you’re out in Rapid City today, keep an eye out for our crew blitzing the neighborhoods.
