Hi, my name is __________________________, and I’m calling on behalf of Cheryl Crist, who’s running for Congress.

Cheryl is the only candidate who says we should bring our troops home, so we can spend those resources on things people need here at home.

How does this sound to you?

On a scale of 1-5, 5 being the highest, how likely are you to vote for Cheryl on August 17^th?

1 = Definitely not

2 = Probably not

3 = Don’t know / won’t say

4 = Probably yes

5 = Definitely yes

Are there any questions or issues I can address that might give you a better idea of where she stands?

(if 4 or 5) Great, thanks for your support! Cheryl’s campaign is powered by real people getting involved, and we need your help. 

I'm calling 30 voters before the election, asking them to vote for Cheryl. Can you make the same commitment?

Yes No

Would you be willing to volunteer in some other way? (someone from the campaign will contact them about how to help)

Yes No

Would you like a yard sign?

Yes No

You should get your ballot in the mail at the beginning of August. Cheryl and I would appreciate your vote in the primary by August 17^th. If she wins, we’d also like your vote in November.

Thanks for your time, and for caring enough to listen.
