Wrapping up June with help from the grassroots

(Here is the latest from candidate for Governor, Matt Dunne – promoted by GMD)

It’s been an an exciting week for all of us on the campaign and one that has been filled with a number of grassroots efforts.

A week ago we kicked off our grassroots campaign with a full day tour of Vermont. We made seven stops from Brattleboro to Newport to attend rallies, meet with local businesses and give back to our communities by participating in service projects. It was great to see people from across the state come out to support the campaign and it’s clear that Vermonters are ready for fresh ideas to move our state forward.

This week we also had the chance to engage with our friends, fans and followers across the Internet. We implemented a new application on our Facebook page and we stopped by a tweet-up in Burlington in honor of Social Media Day. It was great to put faces to twitter names and to learn more about how people have been following the campaign online.

Finally, our grassroots team of video makers helped us out again this week. Yesterday we announced a second round of endorsements from state leaders, which, when added to our endorsements from earlier in the month, means that we have a total of 13 legislators across 10 counties who are behind this campaign. Today, our supporters posted a video with interviews from eight of these legislators, capturing on film why they have decided to get behind our efforts.

 
 
We are lucky to have such motivated, energetic and excited grassroots supporters helping to drive this campaign forward. They are making this movement possible and their efforts even got a mention here on GMD's mojometer round-up. If you want to help join the campaign you can sign up to volunteer or come out to one of the 4th of July parades this weekend and introduce yourself to someone in a Matt Dunne t-shirt– we hope to be at many of them.

Have a great Independence Day and I hope you enjoy the video.
