527s Stay In Place
Last year's fervid 527 activity in swing states seems to be having a lasting impact on certain interest groups' relationships with local communities in those states. From an e-mail I received from the League of Conservation Voters, which did an enormous pro-Kerry outreach campaign around Philly and the Lehigh Valley:
As you're probably aware, the League of Conservation Voters has developed a significant grassroots presence in Pennsylvania as a result of our 2004 campaign. In the past months we have continued to build with our work on the Growing Greener Initiative, which was resoundingly passed by Pennsylvania voters in last week's primary election. We knocked on close to 10,000 doors, and talked to nearly 4,000 voters face-to-face, while contacting another 42,000 voters statewide with a mail and phone get-out-the-vote campaign. Our goal for 2005 and beyond is to continue to build a sustainable grassroots presence in the state. And we're working hard to build upon the excitement and enthusiasm that we've already encountered from our supporters and volunteers.
Interesting.
