Speakers:
Rodney Lee, candidate for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4
Our club will be helping Rodney with his campaign, and we ask that all members
participate in any way you can. Some of the ways to help will be: phone banking, bulk
mailing, talking to friends and neighbors who live in Precinct 4 to encourage them to
vote for Rodney. It is very important that we do all we can to get the voters out to vote in
this election.
One of the immediate needs is help with getting signatures to get him on the ballot.
Rodney will bring forms for us to get signatures of people who live in Pct. 4.
He has a website www.rodneyleeforjop.com and a Facebook page, Rodney Lee For
Justice of the Peace Precinct 4.
