AZGOP RESPONDS TO THE CALL!

One of the big battles of 2007 is the Louisiana governor’s race, pitting popular GOP rising star, Congressman Bobby Jindal against several Democrats in a race to fill the vacancy of failed/retiring Democrat Gov. Kathleen Blanco. Word spread from the Republican National Committee to the state parties that “all hands were needed on deck” to win this critical victory and show the nation that our Republican Party is back and better than ever! And what better way than by picking up a Democrat gubernatorial seat? Chairman Pullen responded to the call and dispatched Political Director Brett Mecum and Field Representative Pascal Kropf to New Orleans to prepare for and assist with the RNC’s 72-Hour operation (our party’s heralded GOTV effort).

Brett and Pascal send the following note from the thick of the election:

"Since arriving, there has been non-stop activity here in the Big Easy. We’ve joined a team of people from all across the country, including South Carolina, New Mexico, Arkansas, Nevada and Oregon. The RNC has us hitting the pavement, knocking the doors, executing an impressive 72-Hour effort including doorbelling, phone calls, rallies, you name it! Today alone, our team knocked on over 20,000 doors, well above what the campaign originally asked of us. The excitement for a Republican victory is big, and it’s evident in the people here as well as in all of us who came to volunteer from around the country. One thing is clear, when Republicans get to work, we get to work in an impressive way. Congressman Jindal is energized, brilliant, enthusiastic and has great ideas for his state – not unlike the candidates we’re recruiting in Arizona. We’re down to the final 48-hours now and there is much work to be done. To everyone at home in Arizona, wish us luck!"
