This wannabe volunteer is getting frustrated

Wed Oct 18, 2006 at 11:25:51 AM PDT

This is basically a diary asking for advice.  I haven't really done political volunteer work before, and I really want to do it, but I am having difficulties.  I filled out the web-forms for volunteering at Dr. David Hunter's site (OK-05) and the Oklahoma Democratic Party.  I also called Dr. Hunter's hq, which probably put me on their volunteer list as a duplicate.  A few weeks ago, on a Saturday, I drove over to the Dr. Hunter headquarters, and no one was there.

They haven't called, e-mailed, or anything like that.  I want to help, but when I offer, I get silence.  I find this odd, because apparently the OK-05 debate is tomorow night, and I would imagine that a campaign would alert its volunteers to be there.  If any fellow Okies know any other good way to help someone who needs it, please let me know.  I live in Edmond, so the local legislative races are a wash.  I am a student at OSU in Stillwater, but I would rather help a candidate who seeks to represent my district.  I am getting frustrated and feeling guilty at the same time.  Let me know what you think.
