SAN DIEGO -- This afternoon the Fletcher for Assembly campaign sent out the following email to supporters, announcing the start of the Community Coffee Program:
 

“Thank you for your early support of my campaign - we have built a solid foundation but our work is just beginning. While unopposed in the primary, we garnered one of the highest Republican vote totals in the state. We enjoyed our victory and now have to move full speed ahead towards the November General Election. This year could be a tough one for Republicans, and it is essential that we run an aggressive fall campaign.
 
 

A corner piece of our early fall efforts is our Community Coffee Program. Over the next few months we will be having coffees at homes and offices of supporters like you throughout the district. The aim is to have small events and talk directly to the voters addressing their concerns about the state budget, education funding, traffic relief, and other issues that affect our community.
 
I hope you would be willing to host one at your home or office. We hope to start our Community Coffee Program right away - please let me know if you would be willing to participate. There are no expectations for a big turnout-even a handful of people will be time well spent.
 
You can reply to this email or call the office at (858) 457-1393 and ask for Dave Vidosic (dvidosic@nathanfletcher.com). He is spearheading the program. For more detailed information give Dave a call or scroll down to the bottom of the email.
 
I hope you will be able to take part in this effort.
 

Thanks again.
 
Semper Fi,
 
Nathan Fletcher
 
PS - Please feel free to forward this to any of your friends, colleagues, or neighbors who may be interested. Thanks again!
 
Further info: What we ask is that one night you open your home or office and invite some neighbors, friends and co-workers to attend a brief Community Coffee. We can have a short reception and then I'll take questions from those who attend. In addition to the people you invite, the campaign will do a postcard mailer to voters in your neighborhood inviting them to attend (if this causes any discomfort we can go with just your invitees).
 
We are not expecting great things or huge crowds - even a few people will be an evening well spent. It gives me a chance to meet voters one on one and answer their questions and concerns directly. Also nothing fancy is needed for refreshments - just coffee or whatever you are willing to provide. The campaign can cover any nominal costs if necessary. We have ready made fliers, and emails you can forward to you list. We are also happy to track the RSVPs if it makes it easier.
