Ladies and Gentlemen,
I want to thank you
all for joining me in the culmination of the 2014 petitioning season. It is
your faith that has put me here. This cycle the Mikel Weisser for US Congress campaign
has already collected nearly 1000 signatures for our campaign, in addition to
collecting over 1500 signatures for other candidates around the district, in
keeping w the Arizona Democratic Party’s effort to run in every race.
Along the way our
campaign has collected signatures for nearly all of our statewide candidates
Fred DuVal, Felecia Rotellini, Terry Goddard, Jim Holway, Sandra Kennedy &
my great friend Sharon Thomas. In addition, our campaign has also served as support
for legislative candidates in legislative districts 1, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13, 16,
& 22, as well as consulting in one school board race and two legislative races outside my area as well
as a fellow congressional candidate’s run in CD5. How did we do this in a
beat-up van w no paid staff? THX to you, we have created a regional grassroots
network across the entire Congressional District and we are proudly marching on
the GOP on our way to Congress.
Congress, AZ, that is.
As many folks know, Congress, AZ is a small
Yavapai County town on Highway 89, just north of Wickenburg. Spared by the Yarnell
Hill Fire, the community served as a staging ground for the displaced families
after last summer’s fire disaster that killed 19 Granite Mountain HotShots and
leveled much of the Yarnell community. Jerry and Judy Stone run the Congress Mercantile,
a craft mall & antique center that is itself so unusual the building itself
is turning the town into a tourist attraction. Ever the lover of art, you know
I had to do at least one day’s canvass in Congress.
SO, starting months
back volunteers around the district began consulting w me about the best way to
wrap up petitioning season w a trip that will cover most of the district. Many
places wound up being left out, not all roads could be traveled in a timely
fashion.
But when we began
assembling the final schedule, it turned out among our network of volunteers in
just the 27 cities we could logistically visit, there are more than 50 people
on the email list of candidates and community leaders who are helping make this
grand tour work.
You will notice the
itinerary below includes all 9 LDs, 7 counties, 27 cities and will take 8 days.
In many places volunteers have been collecting petitions and donations for me. If you wouldlike to donate online to do your part to make this process work click here.
PLEASE NOTE WHEN I ARRIVE IN YOUR TOWN

PS: On Friday, in
Verado in LD13, an LD candidate, the LD13 chair and two statewide candidates
are joining me to canvass in support of my campaign. You are of course invited
to join. If it is possible to have local volunteers work w me at any of these
stops your please get back to me asap.
THX again for being
part of this, for having faith in my ability to make this extra-ordinary &
having faith in our cause.
