Running a Doorknock Operation
There are many elements that make for a successful campaign, but we at Wellstone Action teach that repeated, direct, face-to-face contact with voters is what it takes for a progressive candidate to win.
If you are working or volunteering on a campaign this year, chances are you've been asked to doorknock. That's because the more personal the contact with voters the better, and having conversations with them at their door the most effective tool for getting the votes you need to win.
Here we provide a step-by-step guide to running a door-to-door canvassing operation, be it for a candidate- or issue-based campaign.

Increase competitiveness.
Focus on maximizing short-term output over long-term investment.
Layoff workers.
Squeeze more productivity from the remaining beleaguered workforce.
Demonize unions that oppose the changes.
And when the enterprise collapses, shut it down and outsource the work.
Sound familiar?

Last month I wrote about the 2010 legislative and governor takeovers in many states by conservative forces. They've wasted no time pushing their ideologically extreme agenda. Count on the forces to overreach, as they've already begun to, and invite a backlash by a public that does not buy in to their radical agenda.
