There has been an outpouring of support and good wishes from people across the state and country in response to yesterday's car accident in New London that injured several Lamont campaign staffers. The 2nd CD office in Willimantic was hit hard by this, with a few of their staffers and their relatives among the injured (New London is in the 2nd CD). The office may be understaffed for the next few days.

So if you live anywhere nearby, show them some love and drop by to volunteer. Here's how you can really help out (according to Katie, the 2nd CD coordinator):

• Come in to the Willimantic office to do phone banking, on weekdays anytime from 11am-8:30pm, Saturdays 9am-1pm, and Sundays 4-8:30pm.


• Do family, friends, and neighbors online if you live in or know people in Eastern CT, or contact the office to do it in person.


• Contact the 2nd CD office for more info.

The 2nd CD office is located at 713 Main St., Willimantic, CT 06226 (Google map).

Let's make sure there are no idle phones or empty seats in the office!
