Meeting with Sen. John McCain's Campaign Staff

Meeting at Senator John McCain’s Campaign Headquarters


On Friday, August 3, we met Sarah Crawford, NE Deputy Regional Political Director at John McCain’s Campaign Headquarters in Manchester. The GSOP delegation consisted of Ruth Heden, Barbara Carboneau, Sarah Jane Knoy and Nancy Schooley. The GSOP delegates introduced themselves and told the Institutions that they represent.

Barbara gave the history of GSOP and explained that we are the largest community organization in NH, a Grassroots organization. Barbara told of some of the organizations that are members of GSOP and left the booklet with the list of members.

Ruth told of our successful issues, our goals and our plan for the September 15 event.
There will be reality testimonies with approximately 1,200 people in attendance with 100 media expected.

Sarah Jane explained that this will not be a debate. There will be two or three questions asked each Candidate and they will each have a time frame alone on stage. The list of questions that will be asked was given to Sarah Crawford.

The purpose of the visit was to elaborate on our invitation to the September 15 event and to encourage Sen. McCain to attend. We felt that Sarah Crawford was very receptive, asked us some questions and although Senator McCain’s schedule is not set at this time, she will contact Sarah Jane when the schedule is set.
