Washington is the Volunteer State. With months to go before the general election, it may seem the early involvement of volunteers isn't needed. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Campaigns are meant to peak at election time. But successful campaigns are built on strong foundations laid months in advance.

Right now you can help establish that strong foundation. You can get started on your own - by blogging, writing letters to newspapers, calling talk radio, and just chatting up the people!

As the campaign picks up momentum and we get closer to election day, there will be more to do. Please share a little about yourself by using the Contacts page. Many skills are needed. Let us know when you're ready, willing and able to start.

There will be many things to do. Do you know a good sign location? Tell us. Do you want to be a surrogate speaker? Larry can't be in two places at the same time. Will you host a small get together of family and friends to meet Larry? Will you put a bumper sticker on your car?

What you can do right now: Service as a volunteer in this endeavor is an investment. The more you invest, the greater the return.
