Title: Helping Audrey
Post by: fsujax on March 21, 2011, 10:07:26 AM
Who wants to help me wave sings in Downtown later today and early tomorrow? Private message me and I will get back to you. I am going to pick up signs at lunch. The intersections I want to hit are Liberty and Union, Liberty and State, Bay and Ocean, Bay and Main, Jefferson and Bay and Broad and Bay.

Those areas are going to be covered (according to Audrey'c campaign), this is for those of us who work or live downtown, its easier for us.

I'm tempted to come down and join you guys.  But I was also thinking of staking out a position in Avondale or in Five Points.  Decisions, decisions.

As per the rules of my job, I'm not allowed. Can't even have a sticker on my car because I have claimed mileage reimbursement previously.

But if that wasn't a problem I'd happily wear the shirt in here tomorrow. ;)

FSUJax and I just stopped by the Moran HQ. They are really hoping to make a big push before tomorrow. They feel very good about their chances head to head with Hogan and just need to make the runoff.

FSUJax has a few people set up to hold signs at prominent DT intersections today and tomorrow.

I am going to be riding around on a bike this afternoon with a friend of mine and passing out flyers and talking with people on the street. I'm hoping to hit DT, Springfield, and Five Points. If anyone is interested in riding let me know. We're going to be riding around from around 4 till dark. Would be good to have someone that can hit the  San Marco/St. Nicholas, particularly San Marco Square.

Send me a PM if interested.

This activism is AWESOME.  Just wanted to say that.

I'm taking tomorrow off work - for reasons similar to Cliffs_Daughter - and will be sign waving and driving people to their polls who need a ride.

If we get lots of folks I would like to have two people at the corner of Broad and Bay and Liberty and Union.

If you can't join us tomorrow Downtown, then get a yard sign and go stand at your nearest busiest intersection and wave! We can do this! Metrojacksonville family could make the difference.

Is there anyone willing to go help out at Bay and Ocean St tomorrow morning starting at 7:30? I have Liberty and State covered. I only have one person at Bay and Ocean. Come on guys! signs are available.

Okay, I'm inspired.  I'll get there as close to 7:30 as I can.  I'll be the guy in the I'm With Audrey t-shirt.

Vote early and vote Audrey.

Come on MetroJacksonville posters. Get out from behind your computer screens and come help out.

We're going to be downtown in the morning for rush hour and at lunch time. Even if you are just a lurker who never posts. Just shoot me an email jth2882@yahoo.com or a private message to me and/or FSUJax

Your city needs you.

This morning about 9 am I saw Matt Carlucci waving a sign for Audrey in San Marco.  It made my day!

I'm encouraging everyone I come in contact with today to get out and vote for Audrey.

Yes it was.  We had Ocean and Adams too. I was out there with a couple friends from about 6:45 to 8:15.

For a good portion of the morning there was someone at Riverside Avenue, Liberty and State, Bay and Ocean, and Bay and Adams. So we had four of the five DT bridges covered.

We could use some people out in those hot spots for lunch and for the rush hour drive home.
