Is there anybody out there???
I am relying on my little brother Harry to tell me from Bendigo if this becomes too much of a political statement, but I think I need to do it. I've got a problem.
I think I'm officially asking for help.
My name is Caroline Hutchinson. I am running as an Independent for the federal seat of Fisher in the November 24 election (in Australia).
I live on the Sunshine Coast. Traditionally we vote Liberal. Trust me, that is a problem.
People are pouring into this part of the world at an extraordinary pace. Something like 1500 new people move to South East Queensland every week.
We are going to need a lot more money in the coming term.The bloke elected to represent us is just not doing to job at the moment. It's as simple as that.
HOWEVER - I just don't think I'm getting the message out, and I don't know how to do it!!!
I'm an Independent - so I don't have the money to fight the big boys at their own game.
I just got home from a meeting with Col Miller - he's 84 years old and as sharp as a whip.
People who know Queensland politics, know Col. He contested 11 succesful elections in a marginal seat. He door knocked absolutely every house.
Tonight, over a couple of glasses of red we talked tactics.
He's a party man through and through Col, but he believes in me.
He knows that I will make MY office YOUR office.
He knows that I will work hard for the electorate, not just keep a seat warm for a party.
OK - that's it. I love this community and I want to go to work for the people of Fisher.
But if I'm going to get over the line, I need to do a couple of things.
If you know of a community of people who want to meet me, let me know. There is no gathering of locals that I do not want to be a part of. Just give me a call, 0402342951.
If you would consider being a 'community champion' then let me know that too. Col reckons I need 30 (that's right, 30!) people who believe in me to take up the cause.
30 people to hand out stickers, organise polling booths and tell my story. 30 people to tell me where I need to be and when. To boss me around and make sure that I am serving the people of Fisher.
If you are remotely interested in jumping on board - give me a call - or better still, send me an email http://www.votecaroline.com.au/
Again, sorry for the rant. Love Caroline
PS - This is my favourite quote EVER, I think. My friend Paul Morton sent it to me;
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

Being that little brother I am worried that you have a problem. I also know how determined you are I guess that you will now say that you let me win a few games just so that i would keep playing. Sadly this is a game that I cant let you win but i sure as hell will be there for the ride and surely the people of fisher will also jump on board because it is in their best interest and also the really tempting offer of a light beer and a sausage sizzle at the end. Love your work!
