400 Volunteers Needed at Largest Phone Bank in the Country

Appeal from Kerry Volunteer, Jim Gagne:

If you can't find the time to go to Wisconsin, here's an opportunity to affect the race in Wisconsin and Iowa without leaving Lake County! There is a John Kerry phone bank at 1275 Barclay Blvd. (just south of Aptakisic Rd. in Buffalo Grove.)

I have been working at this call center since it opened. It is a very well run operation. It is the largest phone bank in the entire country - we have the capacity to have 400 people calling at the same time.

Everyone who shows up and makes some calls will feel like they are really making a diference. We are currently calling Wisconsin and Iowa. You get an opportunity to help win a battleground state without having to leave Lake County! You no longer have to call to sign up. Just show up! We will be there every Monday-Thursday from 6-9 pm. We also are operating every Saturday from 11:00 to 6:00pm and every Sunday from 2-6 pm.

Please come even if you can only call for an hour or two. You will be glad you did!

[Note, a list of all phone-banking centers (together with their location and hours) can be found at the i4k Phonebank Central on IllinoisforKerry.com.
