Election Day Report from Bowling Green - This Parade is brought to you by People Power
This Parade is brought to you by People Power - A report from Bowling Green.
We
have just finished our voter empowerment campaign. We
have been faced with a couple of stressful days but we have had amazing
success stories.
Here are a couple of highlights of what we have done.
This morning we hung two large vote signs from the parking structure at WKU. They were painted last night my Volunteers.
We placed voter awareness signs in the areas that we worked in this morning to help get out the vote.
We
dealt with some voter disenfranchisement issues in a very fast and
diplomatic way. This was thanks to some of our diligent members in the
Communities.
We had a star from Star wars, Chewbacca, working the streets today with a go out and vote sign.
We
also had Parades today to get people to the polls. These were amazing
to be part of and Hear coming down the street. They were a grouping of
bikers, A sound car, A drum circle and amazing people. We drove though
areas and had a parade. we were met with smiles and cheers and also
What the hell is that. We also had a Huge(the head was three feet tall)
Uncle Sam Puppet that Rode in the truck. We have some Great Photos.
All
in all We have done Great. I have heard some of the stories on here and
I am blown away. This has been a great season and I am proud to be part
of the birth of the KFTC Chapter in Bowling Green. These past couple of weeks have shown that KFTC is not powered by money or Politicians. KFTC is powered by the amazing beautiful people that pour their energy into goals that help people help themselves. KFTC is truly people powered.
Pictures of the day to come.

a puppet?!
Congratulations, y'all. I'm so proud of you.
BG!
My fellow BGers worked very hard on Tuesday, and I am proud to be a member of this chapter. While the sound car/mobile drum circle/bike parade/giant puppet extravaganza was indeed an incredible sight, I truly felt like the response to problems at the polls was the most indicative of the Bowling Green chapter's passion for justice. Hats off to Greg Capillo, Dana Beasley-Brown, George Ecklund, Nick Asher and Kristen Houser for getting the attention of our local County Clerk to ease the process for students and minorities.
Way to spur on democracy in action, Bowling Green!

Look here for news of mine safety issues.
I can't wait for the pictures.
