Voter 'Touch Base' Activity Wednesday Night

We have many Democratic voters in Horsham who reliably vote. In the effort to register new voters and Get Out the Vote, these voters can sometimes be overlooked. We will be calling reliable voters on Wednesday to 'touch base', make sure they have the facts about our candidates, and see if they want to do more. Do they need more information? Do they want to put a sign on their lawn? Do they have time to canvass their street? We do not take them for granted. Now is the time to ask.

Activities like this are key to a successful campaign. Will you help us do these simple things to help elect Democratic Candidates in Horsham? Meet us at 7PM on Wednesday at the Coordinated Campaign office at 714 N Bethlehem Pike Suite 200, Ambler at 7PM. See you there!

By now you have seen the big news about our Day of Action this Saturday.  Former Governor Martin O’Malley will be here as we engage with voters in Horsham to support Sara Johnson Rothman and Maria Collett.

If you are not able to canvass, you can still be a part of this great kick off to the fall campaign here in Horsham.  We will have  a phone bank at the new campaign headquarters 714 N Bethlehem Pike, Suite 200, Ambler 19002.  Bring your phone. We will have call sheets, scripts, and provide training.  If the weather does not cooperate, we will have even more need for callers. So rain or shine, come on down at 11:00 AM (new time), meet Governor O’Malley and our candidates, and make some calls to make a difference!  

If instead of making call you are tempted to try door-to-door canvassing, or to get back to it after taking a break, this a great opportunity. We will canvassing in the third ward, one of the most walkable areas of the township. Now is the time to build name recognition for Sara and Maria.  There will other opportunities to make phone calls, but we can’t promise another chance to canvass with Governor O’Malley.

We will have training and can send you out with an experienced canvasser.  So, grab a hat, water and sunscreen and meet at 11:00 AM at the newly opened campaign headquarters at 714 N Bethlehem Pike, Suite 200, Ambler 19002.

We hope to see you Saturday!

Note the change of location for canvassing staging from "Peggy's barn" to the new headquarters. We will also be writing messages to voters on postcards that the campaigns will stockpile and use to get out the vote on November 6.  If you can stop by headquarters after 11 on Saturday morning, that is another way to help change happen.

Door to Door Canvassing is the single most effective way to get out the vote and make sure that voters are informed about the issues and the candidates. Horsham Democrats will be joining the coordinated campaign in walking door to door in Horsham Neighborhoods on August 4th from 12 Noon until 3PM.

UPDATE: AN agenda has been released for this meeting. According to the Intelligencer:

EPA releases agenda for July 25 Horsham meeting

By Kyle Bagenstose
Posted Jul 12, 2018 at 2:20 PM Updated Jul 12, 2018 at 5:52 PM

The agency will spend nearly 12 hours presenting information and listening to residents.

The Environmental Protection Agency released an agenda Thursday for its July 25 “community engagement” session in Horsham.

The agency announced the event last month, in which it will hear community concerns regarding local drinking water contaminated with perfluorinated chemicals, also known as PFAS. The agenda details a nearly 12-hour schedule for the event.

According to the EPA the event will run as follows:

• 9:30 a.m.: Registration
• 10 a.m.: Welcome and PFAS National Leadership Summit Recap
• 10:30 a.m.: EPA PFAS Research and Federal Panel on PFAS Activity in Pennsylvania
• 11:30 a.m.: Lunch (not provided)
• 12:15 p.m.: State panel on PFAS activity in the Mid-Atlantic
• 1 p.m.: Local panel on PFAS activity in Pennsylvania
• 2 p.m.: Community presentation
• 2:30 p.m.: Wrap up of working session
• 2:45 p.m.: Break
• 3:30-9 p.m.: Listening session

The community engagement session is one of several such events the EPA is holding across the country this summer to discuss the chemicals, which regulators have discovered in recent years in water systems serving millions of Americans. Local contamination in Horsham, Warminster, and Warrington is believed to be among the worst in the country, and the chemicals have also impacted drinking water in other areas of Bucks and Montgomery counties.

Those who cannot attend can still comment on an EPA public docket by visiting www.regulations.gov and entering docket number OW-2018-0270.
