Earlier this week, Carl had a newsletter sent out to both those on his mailing list. The fulltext is below:
Hello -
This marks the first of what I intend to be a weekly update on the campaign. I apologize for not having been in contact much recently. The campaign is an all-day, every-day effort and petition gathering is the priority at the moment.
First, I’d like to proudly announce that the Florida AFL-CIO, the Central Labor Council, the Florida Education Association and the Pinellas Classroom Teachers Association — Pinellas Educational Support Professionals Association have endorsed me.
Secondly, I’m glad to announce we’re well on our way to getting enough petitions to qualify for the November ballot, but I need your help if you live near the district to come out and help this Saturday. We at the campaign are forming several teams to gather petitions at the local libraries in district 48. Palm Harbor Library and Tarpon Springs Library are to be focused on but we may also include East Lake and Oldsmar libraries as well.
I’d also like to have a couple of teams cover different neighborhoods. If you can help by being a team member or by forming a team to cover a neighborhood, please contact us so we can coordinate things.
…
I’m hoping to have another fund raiser during the month of June at the Round Up in Oldsmar. If anyone would like to organize a candidate house party or other social get-together in their home, please let me know and we will work together to set one up.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that you can donate securely online to my campaign. No contribution is too small and every little bit helps.
