01/31/12 A Press Release From Team Linda

Dear Friend,

Four months ago we began building Team Linda and I couldn’t be more excited to share with you just how much momentum we have on our side. Today, I am proud to announce the addition of 1,085 new donors to our campaign.

These 1,085 new Shareholders join our growing grassroots organization of Team Linda members who have contributed their time, energy and effort to spreading our positive message of getting Connecticut back to work. Team Linda is energized and ready to knock on half-a-million doors and make one million phone calls leading up to Election Day. They are volunteering as Town Coordinators, endorsing our campaign, sharing our plan to help small business owners on social media, joining a rapidly growing coalition of more than 200 women and even contributing as little as $10.

By midnight tonight, we would like to add another 15 shareholders to Team Linda. Will you take the next step and contribute $50 $20 or even $10 to become a campaign shareholder?
Sincerely,

01/31/12 Achieving Their Dreams in Greenwich and more from Greenwich Patch
