I would like to follow up on my previous post in which I wrote of the virtues of grassroots campaigning.  Now, I would like to get into specifics.  All too often, politicians speak in fluffy generalities and vague, feel-good non-statements.  But Joe Bologna is not a politician.  And I would like to explain to you exactly how Joe Bologna is going about his grassroots campaign.

The core of it all is talking to voters face-to-face.  To do this, Joe is going door-to-door in precincts and neighborhoods across Escondido.  He walks up to voters' doors, tells why he's there, and, if the voter is interested, will discuss the tough issues facing Escondido and why you should elect Joe the mayor this November.  Our campaign may not have much money, but Joe Bologna is pounding the pavement every day, talking to voters, and spreading his message of fiscal responsibility and a government that listens to the people.

In addition to Joe walking the streets, he is getting invaluable help from volunteers who are also knocking on doors and spreading the word.  It would be physically impossible for Joe Bologna all by himself to get to every house in Escondido.  But if we have enough volunteers ... anything is possible.  And our volunteer team is growing all the time.

This is what Joe Bologna's campaign is doing.  We may not have the big bucks in this race, but we have the energy -- and we will have the voter support.
