10/25/2020 Gmail - From the Chair's Desk — Your Weekly Update From the Chair's Desk — Your Weekly Update Sat, Oct 24, 2020 at 8:00 PM Dear Democrats, What a great week! Kamala Harris joined us Monday to kick-off Early Voting in Florida. And today, we were thrilled to host Barack Obama in Miami for an Early Vote rally and Senator Amy Klobuchar in Tampa! Democrats are turning out to Early Vote in droves, even in pouring rain in many areas. Never before have Democrats started with this large of a voter turnout lead - now we have to keep the push to maintain it! The final presidential debate was Thursday, and Joe Biden once again showed he was the only one on that stage with the temperament, the experience, and actual plans to lead our country out of the crises we are facing today. Florida Democrats are standing between Donald Trump and four more years in the White House. We must exercise that power and Get Out the Vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, leaders we can trust to lead us out of these dark times and help us Build Back Better. Thanks to all of your hard work, Florida Democrats have an unprecedented lead in voter turnout. But as Joe Biden says, "anything can happen in the final days of a campaign. You can't take your foot off the gas for even one second, or take a single vote for granted." Let's spend the next ten days making sure every single Democrat and ally has a plan to vote and follows through with their plan. Here's to a great final ten days! Forward, Terrie Rizzo Chair Florida Democratic Party https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui=2&ik=6d949ff63d&view=lg&permmsgid=msg-f%3A1681479730174505590&ser=1 1/9 10/25/2020 Gmail - From the Chair's Desk — Your Weekly Update Voting Resources Please ensure all of your volunteers are sharing these FDP and Coordinated Campaign voting resources: Sunshine.Vote - FDP website with personalized voter guide and FL voting location information Voter Protection Hotline - (833) VOTE-FLA IWillVote.com - voter information in English VoyAVotar.com - voter information in Spanish Community Victory Centers - locations for campaign materials DNC Chair Visiting Seminole County Sunday Tomorrow DNC Chair Tom Perez will join Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy, FDP Chair Terrie Rizzo, and down-ballot candidates to kick off a Seminole County canvassing event.
