Deval Patrick Campaign Talking Points

Deval Patrick is running for Governor of Massachusetts without the support of the state Dem Party, which has endorsed former AG Tom Reilly.

"It's time for a new way in politics: leadership that is both candid and hopeful, that looks toward our best long-term interests, that takes the best ideas and the best people from all comers -- no matter what their party -- that is less focused on the left and the right and more focused on right and wrong."

"It's time for a new way in our Commonwealth: time for universal healthcare, world class public education, and a new chapter in our innovation economy that leaves no one behind."
-Deval Patrick, in his new ad

Deval Patrick Campaign Releases First Paid Media
On Tuesday we rolled out a broad Internet buy that aims to capitalize on the growing grassroots momentum. The advertisements will spread Deval's message to voters as he urges them to "hope for the best [in their politics and government] and work for it."

The ad campaign is a combination of banner ads and video space on various web sites across the state, including Boston.com, NECN.com, CNN.com, Bostonherald.com, masslive.com, and Univision.com as well as the release of the campaign's first 60-second video advertisement.

Urgent Current Campaign Initiative: Signature drive
We need to get 10,000 signatures to ensure that Deval is on the ballot. We need people to help gather those signatures. Contact jcorr@devalpatrick.com for more info or to help out. Help today.

Two fundraisers
There are two important fundraising opportunities in the coming weeks. A GLBT and friends Fundraiser for Deval Patrick is being held at the Park Plaza Hotel on Wednesday, April 26, 2006 from 7:00p.m.-9:00p.m. The GLBT community held the campaign's first major fundraiser early in the race in June of 2005, an even larger effort is being organized by supporters this year. For information contact Amanda Mendel at amendel@devalpatrick.com.

May 3rd is our second Women for Deval Patrick event. Over 160 women have joined the host committee alone. Forty seven percent of the contributors to this campaign are women, compared to just 27% of Tom Reilly's donor base.

Other Current Campaign Initiatives: Spread the word
