The Manassas & Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee needs volunteers to help with the following:
Call Democrats from your precinct list (precint lists will be provided) and ask for two things:
Will they put a sign in their yard?
Can they help out on election day? (If they can work election day find out what time they are available. Polls are open 6am-7pm) Asking both questions eliminates the need to call back in another 6 weeks or so.
