I'm going to be operating a yard sign campaign in Rockford. I'd like to get at least 500 signs down in private yards -- especially on all of the main roads. I'm going to need as many volunteers as possible for this. We'll have maps printed out, and divvy up the roads.

The idea is to lay a certain number of signs on each side of the road every mile. This isn't as hard as it sounds. If you find people supporting other republicans, such as Syverson, Wait, and others, this is a great house to approach. Walk up, ring the bell, describe yourself as a volunteer for Topinka. Then talk about the candidate and ask if you may put a sign up in their yard. You can go door-to-door if necessary to find a person willing within the desired section of the road. You'll be very surprised how supportive people are!

I'm going to be calling everyone I know in the Rockford area for help with this. If you're from Rockford and I somehow have your number, expect a phone call. If we reach our goal of 500 signs, we could have a very good impact on Topinka votes in the Rockford area. Yard signs can make a very big difference. This election is going to be close, and far too many people are undecided right now. We need to grab those votes!

I'm doing this because I don't have the time to travel for supporting a state congressional candidate in the Chicago area. Also, I think the gubernatorial race is far too close and far too important. We need Gun Ban Rod out.


Call me at 815-979-3885 or email at sak@icarry.org to be a part of this and make a difference.
