Boulder, Colo. -- Bill Hammons, Unity Party of America candidate for
Colorado's 2nd Congressional District (Fact Sheet:
http://bill-for-congress.us/hammons-fact-sheet.htm), is calling for
door-to-door polls of registered voters in Colorado's 2nd Congressional
District election by any and all interested non-partisan
organizations.
"I am determined to be more than an Election Night curiosity," says
Hammons. "To my knowledge, no public poll of this race has been
taken, most likely because the conventional wisdom is that Jared
Polis will win the general election in a landslide. The
conventional wisdom may be correct at this moment, but not to the
extent that many assume. Polis's campaign site hasn't been updated
since the Democratic Primary, half the people I know have seen me on
the side of one bus or another, and, to my knowledge, I am the only
candidate in this race who has been lately knocking on the doors of the
voters yet to elect their next Congressman.
"A less determined third-party candidate might just blame the media
for taking part in an unconscious conspiracy of giving short shrift to
a candidate because he doesn't have the money and connections conferred
upon amateurs by a two-party system which hasn't been seriously
challenged in over a century, but I am far more determined than that.
I therefore call for door-to-door polls of voters in the 2nd District
conducted by non-partisan organizations willing to step up to their
civic duty. In this age of cell phones, a phone poll will miss an
entire generation of voters, and an Internet poll will miss another
generation. I have realized during my journeys through the 31 District
communities listed on my campaign site that only speaking with voters
on the doorsteps of their homes captures what's on their minds, and
knocking on their doors is the only way for pollsters to do the same."
