(Bumped. Hope to see you in Acton in action on Saturday. - promoted by Charley on the MTA)
 Yup, we came out last week with our endorsement for Jamie Eldridge in the MA-05 congressional race, and now I'm putting my shoe-leather where my mouth is ... or something. I'll be in greater metro Acton on Saturday 9/1, working with über-volunteer and Eldridge campaign Vice-Chair Kate Donaghue -- and we could use all the help we can get! You can volunteer anytime from 9am to 7pm that day: Show up at the Eldridge HQ, 136 Main Street in Acton, a 2 minute walk from the commuter rail station. I gather we'll mostly be leafletting (but don't ask to fly the plane yourself); also banging phones.

Here's the schedule for the day:
9:30 to 10:00 AM: Refreshments and instructions.
10:00 AM: Hit the streets.
12:15 PM to 12:30 PM:Refreshments and instructions for second shift volunteers.
7:00 PM: Blue Mass Group Party at the Blue Mass. Coyote Grille, 137 Main Street in Maynard. Sounds like a nifty place. Let's get together and feel all right. UPDATE: Jamie says he'll be there. Very cool.
