Let's tweet bomb into New Hampshire for Jim Rubens

The New Hampshire primary elections are on Tuesday.

MAYDAY.US is supporting Jim Rubens for the United States Senate in the Republican primary election in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

I am sending this tweet into New Hampshire:
#nhpolitics Support MAYDAY.US. Vote for Jim Rubens in the NH Republican Senate primary on Tuesday. https://mayday.us/
Join me and do your own tweeting.

I am using the follower list of the NHGOP, which follower list is here https://twitter.com/NHGOP/followers. There are over 4000 followers.

Redundancy in using that follower list should do no harm. If you would like to divide up the follower list with me, contact me. Alternatively, there should be lots of other follower lists in New Hampshire you can use, such as the follower list for Scott Brown.

Let's tweet bomb into New Hampshire for Jim Rubens this weekend and on Monday!

Hello Rob,

I’m writing to ask for your help — not your money, but your persuasive power as someone who believes in what we’re doing, and who might know people you can convince to vote.

On Tuesday, we have a critical election — maybe the most difficult of all the races we will be in this year. In the New Hampshire Republican Primary, we’ve endorsed Jim Rubens against former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown.

We entered this race knowing it was going to be tough. In our initial polls, Brown had a 50 point lead, and no one thought that was going to change much. But Jim Rubens is the only Republican running for Senate in the nation who has made our issue front and center in his campaign. (He’s also the only Republican who has acknowledged the truth of climate science, but that’s a separate issue.) And we believed it was incredibly important for us to give Brown a run for his money, so to speak, on the issue of money in politics.

Will you pick up the phone to call New Hampshire voters who are on the fence and convince them to vote for Jim Rubens – and vote against corruption – on Tuesday?

I won’t hide the fact that it’s been a tough race. Rubens has run a great (if wildly underfunded) campaign, but Scott Brown has had millions from outside supporters as well as the Republican Party. And so even though 70% of New Hampshire Republicans agree with us — agree that it is important to reduce the influence of money in politics — we have had to work hard to get voters to focus on this critical difference between these candidates.

We’ve had some important successes. The Concord Monitor endorsed Rubens, in part because of his support for corruption reform. Former Senator Gordon Humphrey (R-NH) has endorsed Rubens because, in part, of his support for corruption reform. More and more, voters in the state are recognizing the critical importance of this issue that Scott Brown has chosen to ignore. And so we are hopeful that if we can rally our base to rally New Hampshire allies, we can succeed in our goal — of making it clear that a significant number New Hampshire Republican Primary voters will make our issue central to their decision. 

So here’s what we’re asking you to do: we’ve identified the New Hampshirites who are most likely to vote against corruption in this election. They just need a gentle push from you. We built an easy calling tool and prepared a simple script, now we need your help. Can you take a few minutes to call and ask them to vote? 

Click here to use our easy call tool that will connect you to an undecided voter.

Just like our crowd-funding efforts from the summer, we’re going to make this call drive interesting. You can compete with other Democracy Rescuers to help Mayday reach our goal of calling 22,831 voters — the number of undecided voters who are likely to vote for Rubens if they get a call from you — before the election. We’ve created a leaderboard, and those who make the most phone calls will win full bragging rights and be featured in an official Mayday blog post.

So click here now to starting make calls for our Democracy.

Thanks again for everything that you do.
