Hello friends,

Well it is hard to believe, but the primary is just 34 days away. This is what we call "crunch time" and volunteers are crucial to a successful campaign. For the next 4 weeks leading up to the primary, we need all the help we can get sending the absentee mailers out, phoning those voters to send their ballots in, walking precincts, recruiting volunteers to work their polling location on Primary Day, and in the final two weeks we will be calling Republican voters to remind them of the August 26th primary.

This sounds like a tall order, but with a group of dedicated, hard working volunteers like yourselves, I know we will be successful!

Those of you who have been volunteering already, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and hope that you continue to do so. For those of you thinking about volunteering, I urge you to do so in the weeks leading up to the primary. An hour or two of your time can really make a big difference!

This is the exciting part of a campaign, so I hope to see you out on the campaign trail!

~ Bill
Volunteer Opportunities

We have two meeting locations where you can pick up a walk packet, grab a buddy, and hit the pavement - Campaign Headquarters at 2525 Aurora Road in Melbourne and the Posey & Co. real estate office at 1824 Fiske Blvd. in Rockledge.

If you are unable to walk precincts, please join us at the Brevard County Republican Picnic that afternoon. We'll need help manning our booth and passing out literature from 12 to 4 pm at Wickham Park. Be sure to wear your Vote for Posey T-Shirts!
