I'll write more about my fourth Kerry rally experience later, but for now check out this excerpt from the message I sent to KerrySpace for a general idea of how the experience went...
------------------------------------------------
This is just a somewhat quick message to let you know that I
personally handed a folder to Senator Kerry this morning,
and said, "Will you promise me you will read this?"
He said, "Yes, I will read it."
I continued, "You *promise*?"
"Yes, I promise."
On the front of the folder was the following:
www.kerryspace.com
Space Policy Ideas
for Senator Kerry
Inside the folder I included 12 copies (one for each member
of his round table of advisors) of the list of bullet
points that Arthur sent to the Yahoo Group, along with a
few revisions based on replies to that message, and added a
few of my own thoughts. I titled the document "Evidence of
U.S. Public Support for Space Exploration".
I also included a print out of the kerryspace.com webpage,
and two copies of an article from space.com on "Helium-3
from the Moon as an Energy Source for Earth". Lastly, I
included several copies of our group contact info.
I sincerely wish I had had more to include in this folder,
but I had to put it together at the last minute. I blame
this on myself, that I didn't reserve enough time to
pour through our Yahoo Group messages, and extract all the
good comments/ideas that were made.
...
Overall, what I hope this experience shows is that we do
indeed have access to the man himself, Senator Kerry, as
well as his staff and advisors. Over the next two months,
every day Kerry will be visiting the so-called "swing
states" and others. We now I believe have KerrySpace
members in each of these states he will visit.
Think of the impact it would have if at every Kerry or
Edwards rally or Town Hall meeting, a member of KerrySpace
personally hands the candidate a note, document, or even
a simple statement of support of space. (It was very simple
to get access to Kerry in this case, and I can provide
instructions on how to make sure your item gets to Kerry
himself.) If we did this, Senator Kerry certainly won't be
able to ignore the issue of space, and a President Kerry
would remember this issue throughout his term.
...
I will tell you all more about the experience later, as
well as upload the pictures I took, and scan the autograph he
gave me. For now, I'm exhausted from a long night of work
on KerrySpace and a long day of politicking to the Kerry
campaign.
