Some of the students have tentatively agreed to help out with phone banking to our members next Wednesday, Oct. 17 from 6-8 PM. We need to get a list of members in Monongalia, Preston, Marion, Taylor, Tucker, Grant, Hardy, and Hampshire Counties, as well as their phone numbers (specifically avoid those who have asked not to be called. I will prepare a simple script along the lines of:
"Hi, I am ___ and I am calling on behalf of Sierra Club. We want you to come to a public hearing to speak against the proposed Allegheny line. The hearings are ..... Dates, times, locations, etc.... Can we count on you to join us? Would you be able to bring friends?, etc. etc.
Is that date OK? Does anyone have a suggestion on where to do this? Any other volunteers? (I said I would bring a pizza).
The first hearing is the following week, Oct. 23 in Morgantown, so we need to get started.
