[fundraising] Thank You Letters

[Brian O'Connell]

On second thought there are some things that i can lift from the convention 
results press release (http://bluemassgroup.typepad.com/greenparty.pdf). Or 
maybe I can send out a copy of the press release with the letters? That 
might be good.

>>I like both letters.  However, the paragraph:
>>
>>We are running a diverse slate of candidates in the 2006 Massachusetts
>>elections. It is at the local level that we can make the most impact with
>>our party. Please consider volunteering or helping the slate or one of our
>>candidates.
>>
>>Needs a bit of work.  two things:
>>
>>1) it should list who the candidates are and for what they are running
>>since that would help supporters identify with the party better;
>>
>>2) it should emphasize that the slate is part of a process of not only
>>trying to win, but of informing more people about the party, and
>>identifying supporters and training activists so that we can build
>>local chapters and identify candidates for local offices in 2007 and
>>beyond.
>>
>>Additionally, you might want to include a little bio about the
>>candidates.  I will also send you the whdh7/suffolk univ poll press
>>release that lists jill at 8% and me at 21%.
