Discussion
Chris Hilderbrant really needs money right now for absentee voting e-mail.
Hilary Bradbury-Huang has hired a great campaign consultant
There are issues with getting Susan Hopkins the volunteer and donor lists.
Robb - What about other assistance?
Brent will be taking care of those items.
Robb - Should John Eder be assigned to go over Jennaro Pullano's field plan with him?
Brent will look into that.
Greg will look into getting Susan Hopkins approval for National Donor lists.

SC will be filling the vacancies. Applications are due Oct. 1.
Jen will e-mail women's caucus.
7. Other projects
List Serve - Robb - list serve is up and running now.
Robb asks if we should remove folks. Yahoo! Group is still up and running. Jen and Robb are moderators, but Robb thinks that we have archiving on the new gp-us list so we can probably kill the Yahoo group.
Appoint advisors and observers?
Robb will send a list of the folks who are on the CCC list
Coordinated Congressional Campaign update - Brent is
still trying to contact Chris Veluci.
9 potential candidates. Number will go up after the first of the year.
