Anybody else petitioning for Lamont....

To get him onto the primary ballot?

Just curious... I was out this afternoon trying to get signatures and wondered if any other DUers were involved yet.

1. It took me two hours to get 4 sigs -- but very willing sigs

The problem was I went to homes in our neighboorhood -- they were elderly and wanted to talk. I made the mistake of asking one neighbor if his wife (the registered dem) was home -- he said no she has been in a nursing home for 3 years -- boy, did I feel awful, but he hates Joey. I am going to go out the rest of this week in the afternoon.

2. Yay!

I got three sigs so far, two were so easy they were cheating - my daycare provider and my husband, LOL. Most people weren't home this afternoon, being mother's day, I think. We're planning to be out again tomorrow evening and Tuesday evening. Good luck to you! :)

3. Yep, I've completed one full sheet and almost got a second one filled

I also got signatures from 2 friends not in my town, so 2 more sheets with only 1 sig each.

I've had better success than I thought I would in my neighborhood. Only met 2 households that supported Lieberman. Most that signed supported a primary and a discussion between Lieberman and Lamont. There were a couple households who didn't like Lieberman and were willing to give Lamont a chance to make his case.

I didn't get out as much as I wanted yesterday due to heavy rains in my neck of the woods and many had taken their mothers out to dinner.

7. Awesome!

We've only got 6... rough going with a three year old, and the rain. Hoping to get out for another hour tomorrow evening.

4. Keep up the good work! Joe must be challanged.

When is the deadline and all that?

[DODI]

5. I can't remember the deadline for the petitition, but Ned

is trying to get as many sigs as he can by the convention on Friday.

6. I am gathering sigs at work now---we have 14 days after convention to get

them

8. I've been giving $$ to Ned and plan to go to his Hartford Office in WH

Well very interesting evening here in Granby John Destefano came up to a town dem. house party. Maybe 15 - 16 people and what we have 5 delegates???? (But Dan Malloy came up about 2 months ago to our town as well). Both were well spoken but Mr. DeStefano can really work the room, lots of energy, lots of good ideas. And a clear plan on how to defeat a popular incumbent.

Being an optometrist ( health care provider), I was very interested in his health plan ( uugg. of course it is plan design provided by private insurers, we live in the Insurance Capital of the World so we must obey) but at least it is a start. He also hit the right notes on property tax reform and public school education....

All in all very impressive and more impressive that he came out at a late hour (8:45pm) and stayed late and for what 15 votes or the 5 delegates??? I think that speaks volumes!!!

9. I got two Greens to register as Dems today! They hate

Joey THAT much! It has been great going around the neighborhood. This has resulted in a block party being planned. I guess I don't hate going house to house as much as I thought.

10. Yes

12. Registered Democrats

A few people I have spoken to are Independent,or can't remember.To get a signature they have to be registered as Democrats,right?

[ihelpu2see]

13. They have to be Dems. And the town, municipality must match their

address.... I just got forms and Granby had a Dem Caucus last night... Incredible number of dems. showed up for a Probate judge caucus it really gives me hope that the word is out and Dems are mobilizing... I mean it was for a 2 Dems that wanted the Probate judge spot and a bunch of dems showed up.!!!

14. Thanks
