Thinking about volunteering

pegkerrI've been contacted by OutFront, asking whether I want to volunteer to man a phone bank to help defeat the Minnesota Marriage Amendment. I said I'd think about it. I'm not sure about phone bank work, but I really want to do SOMETHING. So I went to poke around the Minnesota United for All Families website to see what other volunteer opportunities there might be.
On May 20, Minnesota United for All Families are trying to set up house parties to bring people together to discuss the amendment and try to raise money to defeat it: "By hosting an event on this day you will help support Minnesotans United – by inviting your friends, coworkers, neighbors and family to events on this day you will help organize Minnesotans to Vote No and raise the money needed to defeat this amendment." I am not sure I can host a party, but perhaps I could find another person doing so and volunteer to help. (See the Facebook group here.)
Another possibility: They are asking for volunteers at the May Day parade and at a booth at Powderhorn Park. This is something that perhaps I could do. Perhaps one or both of the girls might be interested in participating, too.
I just want to defeat this amendment so badly. I don't have much money to contribute (although I've already made a small donation). But I need to get out and volunteer.
