A suggested telephone script.

Hi, may I speak with ________________ ? My name is _________ and I’m a volunteer for Tim Kaine. I wanted to speak with you about this year’s Gubernatorial election.

Tim is the Democratic nominee for Governor and was endorsed by Gov. Mark Warner to keep moving Virginia forward. As Lt. Gov., Tim worked closely with Mark Warner and their successes lead one publication to call Virginia one of the best managed states in the Country. One of their signature accomplishments was a $1.5 billion investment in education. As the next Governor, education will be Tim’s number one priority. As Governor, Tim Kaine will move Virginia’s schools from seeking competence to Demanding excellence.

Have you thought about who you might be supporting in this year’s election?

If supporting Tim:

Great! Thousands of other Virginians are supporting Tim too and we need your help to keep Virginia moving forward. Would you be interested in putting a Tim Kaine sign in your yard, or a bumpersticker on your car? Would you be interested in helping the campaign? There are several ways to do so, including directly from your home computer using the 20 for Tim web application (tell them about 20 for Tim and encourage them to sign up).

If Undecided:

Are there any particular issues that are most important to you? I would be happy to answer your questions if I can or send you information; alternatively, you can visit the Kaine website at www.kaine2005.org.

Closing:

Thank you for your time. If you have any questions, or would like more information, feel free to contact me or visit the campaign website: www.kaine2005.org. I hope Tim can earn your support in the remaining weeks. Have a great day!
