CSE Connects Directly with Over 1.7 Million Voters

As voters go to the polls today, it is likely they’ve heard from Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE). That’s because CSE is wrapping up a massive voter education and Get Out the Vote drive in ten battleground states. This election, CSE and Oregon CSE PAC directly reached over 1.7 million individual voters with direct mail, telephone calls, and house visits. Millions more were reached indirectly through a paid radio, newspaper, and television media campaign.

CSE and Oregon CSE PAC let voters in Alabama, Florida, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma, and Washington know which candidates will fight for lower taxes, less government, and more freedom. In several of these states, CSE was the only grassroots group actively on the ground fighting for less government.

CSE President Paul Beckner said: “CSE focused on the key issues of taxes, Social Security reform, tort reform, and energy security. CSE and Oregon CSE PAC sent over 1.05 million direct mail pieces, made over 548,000 telephone calls to registered voters, and knocked on over 100,000 doors.

“And CSE’s impact is much greater than just paid media and direct mail. We had 30 paid staff in the field, working tirelessly with volunteers to spread our message by attending political events, forcing candidates to sign pledges not to raise taxes, pounding over 6,000 CSE election-related yard signs into the ground, and by making countless media appearances. Our effort will prove decisive in several states, as more voters than ever will have the information they need when they go to the polls this year.

“We all know the unions are a monster in getting out the vote and wanting to raise taxes and spend more money. This year, the conservative and free market community has an equally effective answer: Citizens for a Sound Economy.”
