A wee bit of a gripe...

I want to find out if there's any way I can help the campaign with the limited time that I have. But when I go to her site, I can't go anywhere on the site unless I donate to get past that page. I've donated 3 times in the past few months, and this time all I want is info on how I can volunteer. Any suggestions on where to get this info?

Isn't the easiest to volunteer for on the campaign level.

I went to my local democratic party meetings and began helping through there.

That is something I kinda wish she would've taken from Obama/Sanders.

...it takes a lot of time to vet late season volunteers and/or campaign job seekers. When I applied for a spot with the national Kerry campaign in DC in the summer of 2003, it took the better part of a day for the investigation into my party and voting history. It would be madness to let anyone and everyone into campaign offices who might be BSers or Trumpers looking for dirt.

The best thing to do at this point is to get involved at the county level and stay involved after the elction. There are lots of important ground-game things to do!

Yes but then it just takes me back to the donations page after. I was looking for more information. I can help out online big time, so I was looking for info on possibly doing that. I want to help!

Go directly to her campaign offices in your state or to any Democratic Party offices.

It might take the national team a while to pass your name along.

Ok. If you just throw "Hillary" into google it takes you to her donations page.

Going directly to hillaryclinton.com is different I see. Doh.

Thank you. And I'm in Safari but that doesn't seem to be the problem.

to the donations page. I used the web form and reported it. In the meantime I agree with the others...I would lookup her campaign office in your state!

I have very limited time but I can do things online for her campaign, if that's a possibility. Send stuff, design stuff, write stuff, anything like that. I wish I had more time to do more.
