Voter Outreach

Getting the cemetery vote out

  Memphis , TN --  May 29, 2006 –Tom Guleff , Republican Congression al candidate for the 9th District, is c al ling for a long overdue voter outreach program. "Since nothing has re al ly changed at the election commission, our campaign started planning a cemetery voter outreach program,” says Tom.

 We can't let this voting bloc get away from us. No one party has a lock on these voters. An effective feder al program to get these long rested voters back into the voting booths is needed. We have to convince them that they haven't been forgotten. Every government program needs a slogan. We’ll be c al ling this outreach program COPTER - Cemetery Outreach Program The Election Redux.

 In the past it's been "tough sledding" for a candidate like Tom Guleff to make some headway in this segment of the electorate. But this election is going to be too close to simply ignore any voting bloc. “My campaign workers will be starting at Elmwood Cemetery and then on to Calvary and National.  We’ll try to reach as many voters as we can before the August 3rd primary,” states Tom.

 Unless something changes at the election commission we have no choice but to convince lawmakers that our COPTER program requires federal funding. We'd like Harold Ford, Jr. to take the first step by sponsoring this "pay as you go" appropriation bill and legislation. Please contact you legislative representatives immediately on COPTER, because it’s never too late for these voters.
