Have you volunteered/worked on campaigns?

[Thunderbird is the word]

Vote/discuss!

[Hifly]

It seems to have been taking up most of my life recently.

[DC Al Fine]

Yes. Don't plan on helping in the next election though.

[Brewer]

I volunteered quite a bit for Rick Nolan's campaign last year and plan on doing the same in the next.

[SATW]

Yes, interned and volunteered the last 2 years.

[Mr. Illini]

Yes and plan to continue to do so for a few more cycles

[TNF]

Yes, I did work on Jack Conway's 2010 Senate campaign, the Kentucky Democratic Party's state campaigns in 2011, some local Democratic Party campaigns in 2012, and I went door to door for signatures on a minimum wage petition in 2014. In addition, I have been working on a union organizing campaign for the better part of this year.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Yeah. In fact I shall ineffectually doing my bit in a marginal on Thursday.

[NeverAgain]

On Bernie's Campaign right now.

[Thunderbird is the word]

On Bernie's Campaign right now.

Is he already hiring and opening campaign offices? I haven't been able to find any info on that.

[Zioneer]

Yes. Don't plan on helping in the next election though.

[Knives]

Yes, looking forward to 2016.

[Boston Bread]

No, mostly because I thought I was too young. I plan to volunteer for whoever the NDP candidate is in Waterloo in 2015, though. For some time I was on the fence between Liberals and NDP for my federal vote in 2015. C-51 is what made me decide to support the NDP but events since then have only reinforced my support.

[Indy Texas]

No. If I was going to give away my time for free, I'd give it to more deserving things like charity work.

[Ebsy]

I volunteered on an aldermanic campaign earlier this year. I plan on either getting involved in Chris Koster's run for governor or Clinton's campaign in Missouri.

[NeverAgain]

On Bernie's Campaign right now.

So far, I am just volunteering for phone calls, and other things. I will ask, or you can, about campaign offices.

[NeverAgain]

No. If I was going to give away my time for free, I'd give it to more deserving things like charity work.

Meh. Charity helps the needy, so will President Sanders.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

So he's going on to lead a college or the like once he leaves the Senate?  Even if Hillary loses the general election, he's too old to mount a credible campaign in 2020.  Heck, he's really too old now as if he did serve two terms he'd be over 80 when he finished, but his campaign is more about pushing issues than it is trying to actually get him elected.

[VPH]

90 hours for Paul Davis for Governor, 20 for Charles Jenney for State House (87th), 5 for Jeanette Clement for Bel Aire City Council.

Will do, thanks for the info.m

[Samantha]

I worked on Nader's independent campaigns in 2004 and 2008, and Stein's in 2012. It was alot of fun, especially 2008.

I would like to work for Bernie Sanders, but I am not entirely sure that I am the right person to sell socialism to center-right Democrats in Texas.

[The Other Castro]

Chris Murphy for Senate 2012, Jim Himes for Congress 2014, and I'm currently working in the office of Senator Blumenthal.

[Indy Texas]

No. If I was going to give away my time for free, I'd give it to more deserving things like charity work.

If you think voting for a politician whose policies you believe will help the poor is an appropriate substitute for charity, something is very wrong with you.

[Ebowed]

Only this year, for the New South Wales Greens, for state elections.  I wish I'd done more, and certainly got a taste for further involvement.

-volunteered for Steve Israel for Congress a few times as a 13yr old

-volunteered for Dems on a call-a-thon in contested Senate races Sunday night before the 2006 election (I called Pennsylvania)

-paidworked for the Dem slate in 2012; a local referendum about a sanitary district reform in late 2012; briefly the Nassau and then the Suffolk County Dems in 2013.


a few of the 2012 jobs paid as highly as $14/hr, and $1.10 reimbursement for gas (remember, this was during the post-Sandy gas shortage).  for a week I cleared $200/day.  got $12.50 on most of the other campaigns, and the Dems only paid $10/hr, $12/hr the last 4 days.  the low wages and seasonal aspect led to massive turnover problems and attracted an almost criminal element to knock on the doors.
