PETITION WITH GLORIA THURSDAY!
And now a special message from 2010 GPNYS Candidate For Lt. Governor, Gloria Mattera…
Thanks to all of you who came out around the state for our first day of petitioning yesterday. It was a hot, steamy day…but a successful one!
Here in NYC, volunteer and staff petitioners hit the streets and subways early. Our statewide petition coordinator, Michael O’Neil, had a successful morning at Broadway Junction and Mark Dunlea did very well at his home subway station in Clinton Hill.
I began my first petitioning day at Madison Square Park in Manhattan to get the after work crowd. Michael O’Neil, Mark Dunlea and James Lane from the Park Slope Greens were my trusty escorts. We successfully navigated past the tourists lining up at the Shake Shack or dipping their toes in the fountain, realizing our registered NY voter quarry were rushing to and from the nearby subway. So we joined them!
Mark, Michael and I spent over an hour on the R/N train platforms, gathering signatures at a steady rate and getting good responses from the commuters. Isaac Dovere, from City Hall News, joined us on the platform! He was impressed with Mark’s signature count from only one day of collection…
It was a great first night! So, let’s do this again.
JOIN ME THURSDAY, JULY 8 AT THE CELEBRATE BROOKLYN CONCERT IN PROSPECT PARK.
We will gather at the 9th Street entrance on Prospect Park West under the statue at 6pm. Call me at 917-886-4538 or Michael O’Neil at 917-825-3562 if you have any questions.
See you there!
–Gloria
