ACTION 1
Be a Recount Observer for the Franken Campaign
 
FROM THE FRANKEN CAMPAIGN.......

The recount -- a hand count of every ballot -- begins next week in every county in Minnesota. And it could last as long as a month.

Volunteers will be trained to observe the counting, identify ballots in question, and articulate the basis for the challenge. We need people who can attend a training this coming weekend, stand on their feet for hours at a time, and volunteer for multiple days or weeks throughout the recount process. Please go to www.alfranken.com/recounthelp right now to volunteer.

If you have questions, please email recounthelp@alfranken.com.

Thanks for all you do,

Stephanie Schriock
Campaign Manager
Al Franken for Senate
 

 
ACTION 2
Understand the Franken/Coleman Recount - Download SOS Handbook
 
Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie, has prepared a Handbook spelling out applicable laws and procedures - including the requirement that the process be open to the public.
For now, understand the process. .
 

 
ACTION 3
Provide Housing for Recount Volunteers
 
Provide housing for volunteers and staff working on the recount. Select the dates that work for you - a few days, or for the whole recount.


If you have questions, please email recounthelp@alfranken.com.

Thanks for all you do,

Stephanie Schriock
Campaign Manager

ACTION 4
Apply for a Job in the Obama-Biden Administration!
 
Explore opportunities to "Serve at the pleasure of the President".
 

 
ACTION 5
Support Protesters Arrested at the Republican Nat'l Convention
 
Sign a petition against the use of a conspiracy charge to punish political speech and thought. Labeling protestors as "terrorists" sets a dangerous national precedent for persecuting political activists, threatens political dissent, and greatly distorts the concepts of violence and terrorism.

Tell the Ramsey county Atty to dismiss the charges!
