Work your Circles

You’ve heard “Texas isn’t a red state it’s a nonvoting state." 

This means a lot of Democrats aren’t bothering to vote even though many of them are actually already registered!
​
Our Blue Action Democrats GOTV (get out the vote) strategy for November is to turn Democrats out at a higher rate than Republicans.

We have a chance to do that because typically, turnout in non-presidential elections are lower overall. However, if Democrats in Texas can turn out in the levels we saw for Hillary Clinton, then we can flip several districts in Southwest Travis County.

This will help us build that blue wave. To get our blue wave to crest, we need to root out more Dems and get them to VOTE.

These Dems are out there and some are folks we know – let’s find them and make them promise to vote.

Work Your Circles is a simple 3-step concept we all can do to ensure Dems we already know will vote. Take some time to think through all the circles of folks you know – your family, neighbors, co-workers, yoga class, church, book club, etc.

Now, who are the Dems? Write them down in the Work Your Circles Worksheet. Make a point to ask them 3 questions:

• Are you registered to vote at your current address?
• If not, can we do that?
• Do you promise me you’ll vote?

Be persistent about the promise to vote. Ask them if they have any questions about voting and help them come up with a Plan to Vote <see video>. Get their email and cell phone number and send them a reminder to vote. See it through. Tell your friends to work their circles. If each of us get 10 new voters and each of them inspire ten new voters, etc., we can swell our army. Any conversation you have that leads you to suspect someone leans our way, pounce, and Work Your Circle. This is how we make up the gap.
