September greetings, ladies!
I hope you all had an enjoyable summer and were able to relax, recharge, and spend some well-deserved time with family and friends. Because now, there are two numbers I want you to think about: 44 and 63.
**44 days until Early Voting begins in North Carolina.**
**63 days until Election Day.**
Are you ready?
Our goal between now and November 3 at 7:30 p.m. is simple: When the polls close, we want to know that we left absolutely nothing on the table. That we did everything within our power to make sure our counties, our state, and our nation are in good, solid Republican hands.
And there is a place for every one of us in this effort.
No matter your age, physical ability, schedule, or location, there are countless ways you can contribute between now and Election Day. We will continue to share those opportunities with you as they become available.
Pick Up Your Pen — WRITE!
Both **Write Now** and **America First Policy Institute Faith** have opportunities for you to handwrite messages of encouragement to low-propensity voters, reminding them just how important it is to get out and vote. You should have received an email earlier today with information and links for both programs.
A handwritten note may seem like a small gesture, but personal contact can make a difference. Grab a pen and start writing!
Put On Your Walking Shoes — KNOCK!
The NFRW Strike Forces are coming to North Carolina October 11–18!
We will welcome NFRW sisters from across the country who are coming to North Carolina to knock doors in Congressional Districts 1 and 11, campaigning for Michael Whatley for U.S. Senate, Laurie Buckhout in District 1, and Jennifer Balkcom in District 11.
Register to volunteer with the NFRW HERE!
Let's show our NFRW sisters what North Carolina hospitality — and North Carolina determination — looks like!
Pick Up Your Phone — CALL!
Throughout September, we will also be holding NCFRW Call Nights.
Lorena Castillo-Ritz, our NCFRW Campaigns Chair, will be sending out a list of North Carolina candidates we will be phone banking for — and we may even throw in a little friendly competition!
No matter where you live in our state, you will be able to pick up your phone and make calls on behalf of Republican women candidates running in tight races.
One phone. One hour. One conversation at a time. It all adds up.
And Most Importantly — USE YOUR VOICE!
You already possess one of the most powerful campaign tools available: your own voice.
Use it every day.
Talk to your family. Talk to your friends. Talk to your neighbors, acquaintances, coworkers, and yes — even strangers!
Tell them why this election matters. Remind them to vote. Ask them if they have a plan for voting. Offer to drive someone to the polls. Meet a friend at an Early Voting location. Put a reminder on your calendar to call someone who might otherwise forget.
**We have to drive the vote in this Midterm Election.**
Ladies, Republican women are a powerful force in elections because we organize, communicate, volunteer, and show up when it matters.
For the next 63 days, let's WRITE. KNOCK. CALL. TALK. VOLUNTEER. VOTE.
And when those polls close at 7:30 p.m. on November 3, let's be able to look at one another and say: We gave it everything we had.
Let's show North Carolina what Republican Women can do!

President
North Carolina Federation of Republican Women
