1
00:00:05.140 --> 00:00:11.620
Turn around and take a gas bill, light bill plus a state ID or a driver license.

2
00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:14.200
And you argue the point.

3
00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:17.320
That way the judge will turn around and sign the affidavit.

4
00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:19.360
He will be able to vote.

5
00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:20.360


6
00:00:20.660 --> 00:00:21.540
That makes sense.

7
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.220
As far as like addresses and stuff at this point, like there's some addresses listed

8
00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:27.260
and aren't there?

9
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:29.740
That are making lots now?

10
00:00:29.740 --> 00:00:33.980
That are actually don't feel like there was ever anything like that.

11
00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:34.740
Anything there?

12
00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:35.360


13
00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:40.800
And then there's also a couple that aren't listed that are there.

14
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.040
We just fill that in for me.

15
00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:43.340
Right now it's a little too late.

16
00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:44.400
I'm not able to do anything.

17
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:45.540
Well then do it.

18
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.740
What you start doing is when you guys see it like that, okay, and you've got buildings

19
00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:53.680
that used to be there and they're vacant lots, okay.

20
00:00:54.040 --> 00:00:59.440
For your own records, you turn around, you put vacant lot, person has moved and everything.

21
00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:03.760
Because then we're going to restart over again after this election.

22
00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:07.440
And this is going to make your work a lot easier for you.

23
00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:14.900
Because it's going to take a length of process before we can eliminate these people.

24
00:01:15.380 --> 00:01:20.160
Now you've got to remember, you've got one person, the mother and the father living in

25
00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:24.920
that apartment, but then all their kids are married and live in other neighborhoods, but

26
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:26.380
they vote out of that area.

27
00:01:26.660 --> 00:01:27.920
Make sure you ask them that.

28
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.980
Do your kids, do they come over to this way to vote?

29
00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:36.980
If they've moved out of the area, but they're still listed on here, I should check to see

30
00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:37.680
if they're on the post sheets?

31
00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:39.640
Yeah, because then I could do absentee ballots.

32
00:01:40.020 --> 00:01:45.260
Like I live in the first ward, okay, I'm having a house built in the 35th ward.

33
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.920
Now when I work my area in the 26th, what am I going to do?

34
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:52.480
I'm going to ask for an absentee ballot.

35
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.680
That way I don't lose from the first ward, even though I live in the 35th.

36
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.460
This way these are pure fat folders for you.

37
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.080
That's what I've been doing is, on here when I hand these out, I list...

38
00:02:05.100 --> 00:02:06.200
Are you having to walk them through Billy?

39
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:08.700
Um, what do you mean?

40
00:02:09.260 --> 00:02:10.380
Are you having Billy walking?

41
00:02:11.060 --> 00:02:16.560
Well, he had already walked that precinct before I even started working on it.

42
00:02:17.180 --> 00:02:20.480
This is actually Jesse's precinct.

43
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.260
Oh, okay.

44
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.100
But Felipe had felt that they needed to be there.

45
00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:27.360
So I got out there and had been working on it.

46
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:29.780
But Billy had already...

47
00:02:29.780 --> 00:02:32.580
Gordon Hammett had already gone through a lot of that area.

48
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:33.140
Oh, okay.

49
00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:36.380
But it's still funny because, see he gave me some streets.

50
00:02:36.880 --> 00:02:40.040
He kind of restricted, he gave me the right to access properties,

51
00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:43.960
properties, yeah, Jesse with fences and stuff like that.

52
00:02:44.020 --> 00:02:46.200
That's when you come in here and make your phone calls.

53
00:02:46.980 --> 00:02:51.440
And the best way to do that is, you know, a lot of people, they'll give you opinions.

54
00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:53.080
They won't give you the honest opinion.

55
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.500
You tell them you're doing a survey, you know.

56
00:02:55.980 --> 00:02:59.360
At the same time, while you're doing that, when you go over there,

57
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.320
then you tell them you spoke to them and all this.

58
00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:02.980
And you would like their opinions.

59
00:03:03.420 --> 00:03:06.720
I do that with mine and I've only been working a year and a half.

60
00:03:06.740 --> 00:03:09.960
Is your opinion based on, like, a poll you mean?

61
00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:14.180
No, their opinion on the services they have received from Davey

62
00:03:14.180 --> 00:03:17.960
and their opinion on the services they've received from Billy Ocasio.

63
00:03:18.220 --> 00:03:18.660
Okay.

64
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.240
And believe it or not, because you're saying it's a survey,

65
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.040
it is something that they'll be so honest with.

66
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.060
Oh, Richard hasn't done anything, you know, and Billy hasn't done anything.

67
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:32.460
But then they'll turn around and say, oh, Billy, yeah, he's done this and that.

68
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.660
And then they'll turn around and say Billy did the same thing.

69
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.220
The funny thing about it is this precinct is an old male precinct.

70
00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:41.980
A lot of people don't know that it's part of the 26 ward.

71
00:03:42.180 --> 00:03:46.220
I was on diversity talking to a few people and they were 26 ward.

72
00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:52.040
Well, my section is part of the 33rd ward, too, okay?

73
00:03:52.380 --> 00:03:56.180
What I did was I started to turn around and walk around

74
00:03:56.180 --> 00:03:58.140
and started just talking to the people.

75
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:04.300
If they gave me that precinct six weeks and I carried everybody but one candidate, you know,

76
00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:06.420
that shows that I did a lot of footwork.

77
00:04:06.820 --> 00:04:09.220
So that'll do the same thing for you.

78
00:04:09.700 --> 00:04:11.020
Yeah. Okay.

79
00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:11.780


80
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.560
And all I do is, I'm not going to lie to you,

81
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.700
all I work is from 3.30 till it starts getting dark.

82
00:04:19.080 --> 00:04:19.940
Then I stop working.

83
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.500
So before you know it, by the time it's campaigned,

84
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.560
if I have 586 people right now I have over 300 people I've talked to.

85
00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:30.800
And that's only five, six, seven houses a day.

86
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:33.460
But each of them get mine. Yeah.

87
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:35.360
They have mine.

88
00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:37.380
I've been putting my number in a pager here.

89
00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:40.220
So, you know, there's a number if you want to call the office, you come back.

90
00:04:40.340 --> 00:04:41.460
If you want to just contact me.

91
00:04:41.460 --> 00:04:44.800
They usually like talking to someone they can relay the face to.

92
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:45.440
Yeah.

93
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.020
You know, so I've been listing my numbers here where they can reach me.

94
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.780
And also get a hold of my office.

95
00:04:51.700 --> 00:04:53.560
We deal with all the sanitation here.

96
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.380
And that's about the biggest problem everybody has.

97
00:04:58.260 --> 00:05:02.760
Yeah. In fact, there was some mention, I've got some notes elsewhere about garbage.

98
00:05:03.880 --> 00:05:06.460
Oh, we've had over a thousand cars towed.

99
00:05:07.340 --> 00:05:09.500
Just in my precinct. Okay.

100
00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:11.200
Which is not even a mile.

101
00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:13.140
By the way, my name's Frank Rodriguez.

102
00:05:14.420 --> 00:05:14.420


103
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:15.200
I see.

104
00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:16.060
Cruz Martinez.

105
00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:23.340
But from Bloomingdale to North, Campbell to Ward to Western, I had 23 cars towed.

106
00:05:23.960 --> 00:05:27.600
Now you figure if that's only in that little section what you might have in your area.

107
00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:29.680
Give us a call. Let us know.

108
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:30.440
Okay. Fair enough.

109
00:05:30.640 --> 00:05:31.240
Okay. Take care.

110
00:05:31.380 --> 00:05:31.720
You too.

111
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:32.060
Thanks for your help.

112
00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:32.520
Anytime.

113
00:05:34.700 --> 00:05:35.320
What you doing?

114
00:05:35.860 --> 00:05:36.620
What am I doing?

115
00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:42.140
Well, he's new. He doesn't really know how the ball is growing.

116
00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:45.220
So he had a few questions and asked for my advice.

117
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:46.620
So I gave it to him.

118
00:05:46.660 --> 00:05:49.040
You know, hopefully it works to his advantage.

119
00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:51.220
How did you learn all this stuff? You seem to know a lot.

120
00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:53.960
Well, I've been dealing with it since I was 14 years old.

121
00:05:54.260 --> 00:05:55.540
I'm 46 now.

122
00:05:57.400 --> 00:05:59.680
And I have my ups and downs about it, you know.

123
00:06:00.760 --> 00:06:02.980
I enjoy it. A lot of times I enjoy it.

124
00:06:02.980 --> 00:06:03.920
I'm not obligated.

125
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:07.200
I'm not told I have to be there or anything like that.

126
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.300
I just been doing it.

127
00:06:09.320 --> 00:06:10.360
Sometimes it excites me.

128
00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:14.520
When I'm a little tired, then I let them know and they take care of it.

129
00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:18.540
But the majority of the times they give me a precinct.

130
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.840
They gave me this one precinct and I carried it in six weeks.

131
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.840
And I beat the people that have been there for nine and a half years.

132
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.360
This time people got them to know me.

133
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.060
They know how to get a hold of me.

134
00:06:32.940 --> 00:06:36.900
Precinct captains, you know, a lot of people say, oh, they're there for election.

135
00:06:36.940 --> 00:06:39.780
And then after election you can't find them.

136
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.940
Well, I'm one they can find at all times.

137
00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:45.860
Each block has a captain of their own.

138
00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:49.360
So the captain has my beeper and has my home phone number.

139
00:06:49.940 --> 00:06:52.960
The people themselves have my work phone number.

140
00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:57.640
And they call me and, Carmen, you know, you think you can pass by?

141
00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:59.980
I have coffee, breakfast at their homes.

142
00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:01.800
And that's...

143
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:02.420
What do they want?

144
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.480
Well, I deal with sanitation, you know.

145
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:14.980
So most of my people have a road and control problem, garbage, abandoned cars, gang bangers,

146
00:07:15.760 --> 00:07:18.480
things like graffiti and everything like that.

147
00:07:19.140 --> 00:07:24.340
So generally where I work, I have easy access to all those services.

148
00:07:24.580 --> 00:07:26.920
So we don't have that kind of a problem.

149
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.440
What's this got to do with electing somebody?

150
00:07:29.640 --> 00:07:33.140
I mean, how does somebody calling up about graffiti have anything to do with the mayor?

151
00:07:34.020 --> 00:07:36.560
Well, the mayor is the one that brought out the program.

152
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:43.500
And I think by him doing this, the gang bangers themselves go out there at night

153
00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:45.460
and they draw their signs, right?

154
00:07:45.900 --> 00:07:50.700
We get a graffiti blaster form.

155
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.540
We have the owner sign it.

156
00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:56.400
And we send it to downtown.

157
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.640
Downtown turns around, sends it to the graffiti blaster and the graffiti blaster.

158
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.420
One of us is going to get tired and it's not going to be the city.

159
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:04.620
It's going to be them.

160
00:08:05.180 --> 00:08:10.520
What's the connection between a problem with graffiti or parking or whatever and electing somebody?

161
00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:16.760
What's the connection that the voter makes or the people out there?

162
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:22.540
Well, what I see is when they have a precinct captain, okay,

163
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.900
this is the person they rely a lot, very much on, on a lot of their services, okay?

164
00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:34.360
We, as precinct captains, rely on our officials to help us out, okay?

165
00:08:34.780 --> 00:08:38.200
Now, if the people call us, they call their Alderman's office,

166
00:08:38.300 --> 00:08:45.700
they call their downtown, the 745000 number, but they get to get a hold of somebody, okay?

167
00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:50.200
When you have the person like me that can come to your home and you tell me,

168
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.600
Carmen, they came over, look what they did to my poor building, you know?

169
00:08:55.900 --> 00:09:01.300
It turns around and when it comes close to election, I've been with the 26 for so many years,

170
00:09:02.020 --> 00:09:04.820
we haven't supported bad candidates, okay?

171
00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:08.080
We've all worked, everybody seems to come out of this community.

172
00:09:08.780 --> 00:09:11.920
And if you come out of this community and you work together with the community,

173
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.640
people forget your last name and remember your firsts, okay?

174
00:09:15.640 --> 00:09:21.540
And if you've driven through these neighborhoods, you see the problems we're having,

175
00:09:22.400 --> 00:09:28.100
the gang bangers writing their names and their logos on the wall.

176
00:09:28.420 --> 00:09:33.180
It's so nice to see that it's up and then it's gone within a day or so.

177
00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:38.200
So they have somebody they can relate to and have an easy communication with.

178
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.000
And this is what they're looking forward to, you know?

179
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.220
So they stand there and they say, well, here she comes.

180
00:09:44.780 --> 00:09:51.100
And I talk to them and I say, well, listen, because of Daly, now Daly has been in our ward so many times.

181
00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:56.580
People, you know, they say politics downtown, okay?

182
00:09:57.400 --> 00:10:00.300
In this community, we don't care what's going on downtown.

183
00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:02.980
We want to know what's going on in our neighborhood, you know?

184
00:10:03.260 --> 00:10:06.560
This is the first time that we're actually being to see the mayor.

185
00:10:06.660 --> 00:10:08.920
The mayor has been here so many times, you know?

186
00:10:08.920 --> 00:10:11.900
And people are coming out of the woodwork to meet the mayor.

187
00:10:12.040 --> 00:10:14.560
Now, to them, this is a very important man.

188
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:19.960
And, you know, you just can't walk into his door, but he's walking into our doors.

189
00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:24.060
And people are coming out of the woodwork to meet him, to talk to him.

190
00:10:24.260 --> 00:10:26.480
They're seeing this neighborhood come up again.

191
00:10:27.780 --> 00:10:30.700
And it's becoming safer, slowly but surely.

192
00:10:30.820 --> 00:10:33.060
It's a slow progress, but it is becoming safer.

193
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.640
We're seeing more police officers walking the beat instead of driving through the beat, you know?

194
00:10:37.640 --> 00:10:40.560
We're seeing gangbangers that used to, you know.

195
00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:44.580
Can you just say your name for the camera so we can identify you?

196
00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:47.300
I'll give you a card that will tell you who we are.

197
00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:50.020
Okay. My name is Carmen Cruz Martinez.

198
00:10:50.260 --> 00:10:51.560
And your address?

199
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.980
1321 North Rockwell.

200
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:54.640
Chicago?

201
00:10:55.280 --> 00:10:56.320
Chicago, Illinois.

202
00:10:57.900 --> 00:11:01.540
606-22, and I've been living here 43 years.

203
00:11:01.560 --> 00:11:01.980
Wow.

204
00:11:02.400 --> 00:11:04.080
So I've seen the changes.

205
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.520
What's your official position?

206
00:11:06.060 --> 00:11:08.440
I work for the Bureau of Streets and Sanitation.

207
00:11:10.680 --> 00:11:13.940
I am a precinct captain in the 23rd Precinct.

208
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.740
They're supposed to meet here, but I want to be out there, so they're going to meet me out there.

209
00:11:24.740 --> 00:11:27.400
I'm going to take that all the way to court.

210
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.340
When you see the viaduct, you know, then you know you only got two more days.

211
00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:39.520
They're off in January or something.

212
00:12:05.520 --> 00:12:07.040
I don't know if that's a problem.

213
00:12:08.300 --> 00:12:09.680
Thank you, Leroy.

214
00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:13.660
What if I talk to a person on the phone for five minutes and they wait in line?

215
00:12:13.880 --> 00:12:15.040
Yeah, that's a longer time.

216
00:12:15.280 --> 00:12:15.960
I'll put it right there.

217
00:12:16.640 --> 00:12:18.960
So, I'll have all these artists in.

218
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.040
Next day, you can take me in.

219
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:23.780
That's what I'm actually doing.

220
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.160
But you know, I'll take you in.

221
00:12:26.400 --> 00:12:27.220
You can start the work.

222
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:28.460
Okay.

223
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:29.660
I'll start the cameras.

224
00:12:31.060 --> 00:12:31.500
Okay.

225
00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:32.800
Thank you very much.

226
00:12:56.820 --> 00:12:59.620
Thank you.

227
00:12:59.620 --> 00:13:00.600
He's out of the line.

228
00:13:00.900 --> 00:13:01.800
He's out of the line.

229
00:13:02.700 --> 00:13:03.200
Let me see.

230
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:08.540
How you doing, big guy?

231
00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:09.120
How you doing?

232
00:13:09.680 --> 00:13:10.460
Okay, let's switch.

233
00:13:10.540 --> 00:13:11.960
We got the heavy hitters coming over here.

234
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.320
How you doing?

235
00:13:13.780 --> 00:13:14.100
How are you?

236
00:13:14.540 --> 00:13:15.100
Hi, guys.

237
00:13:15.180 --> 00:13:15.520
How are you?

238
00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:17.020
What's up?

239
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.140
Oh, my brother.

240
00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:19.060
Oh, yeah.

241
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:19.880
My brother.

242
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:20.100
What's his name?

243
00:13:21.560 --> 00:13:22.480
Well, I don't know.

244
00:13:22.540 --> 00:13:23.020
How you doing?

245
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:24.580
What line?

246
00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:26.680
I'll put it up by three.

247
00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:27.800
You three guys up together?

248
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:29.720


249
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:29.960
All right.

250
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:30.380
So, same.

251
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.000
And Jimmy.

252
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:33.640
Jimmy and Messina have been with us.

253
00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:34.360
He's on his way.

254
00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.200
That's four.

255
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.680
Well, he sent the four of us to stay together.

256
00:13:36.920 --> 00:13:37.480
That's right.

257
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:38.580
That's why he sent us up here.

258
00:13:38.660 --> 00:13:38.940
Okay.

259
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:39.360
All right.

260
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:40.360
We'll work it out somehow.

261
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.840
What we'll do is probably split up one precinct in two parts.

262
00:13:44.380 --> 00:13:45.140
Two and two.

263
00:13:45.260 --> 00:13:45.780
How's that?

264
00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:46.460
Okay.

265
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:47.680
You got all one car?

266
00:13:47.760 --> 00:13:48.460
Or is Jimmy coming in his car?

267
00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:49.340
Jimmy's on his way.

268
00:13:49.520 --> 00:13:49.900
All right.

269
00:13:49.900 --> 00:13:50.880
So, we'll do it that way.

270
00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:53.940
We'll take one precinct, split it into wall sheets in two.

271
00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:56.240
Two guys will team up and two guys will team up.

272
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:56.880
Does that make sense?

273
00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:57.960
Okay.

274
00:13:58.140 --> 00:14:00.120
That way you guys can keep an eye on what's going on.

275
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.120
How do you spell your last name?

276
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:03.740
O-O-N-G.

277
00:14:03.900 --> 00:14:04.400
O-O-N-G?

278
00:14:05.620 --> 00:14:05.620


279
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:06.020
I know you.

280
00:14:06.140 --> 00:14:06.460
Velka?

281
00:14:06.640 --> 00:14:06.820
Right.

282
00:14:06.880 --> 00:14:07.320
How are you?

283
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:07.620
Good.

284
00:14:08.640 --> 00:14:09.340
What's your first name?

285
00:14:09.400 --> 00:14:09.680
Joey.

286
00:14:09.900 --> 00:14:10.080
Joey?

287
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:10.640
Yeah.

288
00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:14.640
Joe, I'm going to team you up with Eddie Formas, sir.

289
00:14:14.760 --> 00:14:15.080
Okay.

290
00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:15.420
Okay.

291
00:14:15.700 --> 00:14:16.440
Just take a seat.

292
00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:19.480
Now, let me write it on the sheet what his name is and everything so I can record it.

293
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:22.280
Okay.

294
00:14:22.880 --> 00:14:23.540
Does that know this guy?

295
00:14:23.540 --> 00:14:24.580
Yeah, he's like a race horse.

296
00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:26.320
He wants to get out there and do some work.

297
00:14:27.560 --> 00:14:29.280
He's been up since four, you know.

298
00:14:31.040 --> 00:14:31.400
Okay.

299
00:14:32.060 --> 00:14:36.680
What I'll do is when I get two more guys, if you see two other guys from here, don't sweat

300
00:14:36.680 --> 00:14:38.940
it because I'll team them up on part B of your area.

301
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:39.640
Okay.

302
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:42.360
Anything I can explain to you about how this works?

303
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:42.760
All right.

304
00:14:42.760 --> 00:14:45.780
Eddie maybe can explain it to you, the wall sheets and the absentees and everything.

305
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:47.820
Grab yourself a blue pen, right?

306
00:14:48.020 --> 00:14:48.440
You got it.

307
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:49.680
Okay?

308
00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:50.340
I'll take care of it.

309
00:14:50.400 --> 00:14:51.440
All righty.

310
00:14:51.660 --> 00:14:52.420
See you a little bit later.

311
00:14:52.620 --> 00:14:52.960
All right.

312
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:53.180
See you later.

313
00:14:53.180 --> 00:14:53.200
All right.

314
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:53.200


315
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:53.200


316
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:53.200


317
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:53.200


318
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:53.200


319
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:53.200


320
00:14:59.460 --> 00:15:00.820
Hey, how are you?

321
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:02.780
I'm good.

322
00:15:02.780 --> 00:15:03.540
How was your trip?

323
00:15:03.640 --> 00:15:03.920
Good.

324
00:15:04.180 --> 00:15:04.360
How are you?

325
00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.200
Of the 32nd precinct.

326
00:15:06.260 --> 00:15:06.520
Yeah.

327
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:11.400
You guys can, no problem, pages one through eight and nine through 14, they're right adjacent

328
00:15:11.400 --> 00:15:14.440
to each other so it's not where you're going to be like four or five miles apart or anything.

329
00:15:15.040 --> 00:15:16.280
Maybe you can team them up that way.

330
00:15:16.280 --> 00:15:18.120
You want to take your brother-in-law with you?

331
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:18.400
Yeah.

332
00:15:18.780 --> 00:15:19.120
All right.

333
00:15:19.160 --> 00:15:20.100
Either way, it doesn't matter.

334
00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:22.360
Then Messina and Jan will go together.

335
00:15:22.680 --> 00:15:22.780
Okay?

336
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:23.180
Tops.

337
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


338
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


339
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


340
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


341
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


342
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


343
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


344
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


345
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


346
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


347
00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:23.180


348
00:15:23.580 --> 00:15:23.940
Okay?

349
00:15:24.160 --> 00:15:24.520
Tom.

350
00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:28.280
In these days, somebody's going to get it right.

351
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:28.800
Oh, shit.

352
00:15:35.460 --> 00:15:39.200
Okay, now the original one is, nobody's been marked so I can give you a regular pencil.

353
00:15:40.260 --> 00:15:45.580
What I'm having them do is use the other markers in blue so that way they don't confuse the

354
00:15:46.060 --> 00:15:46.500
Okay?

355
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:51.040
Okay.

356
00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:54.940
You didn't like that one?

357
00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:56.760
I ain't got my name on it.

358
00:15:56.780 --> 00:15:57.400
It doesn't matter.

359
00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:57.980
Oh, okay.

360
00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:04.660
Here's some 32, Budinski.

361
00:16:05.380 --> 00:16:07.080
You got part A or part B, Tommy?

362
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:08.360
I've got A.

363
00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:08.740
A?

364
00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:15.600
Where's Elston Avenue?

365
00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:17.980
What's the address on Elston?

366
00:16:18.420 --> 00:16:18.880
28.

367
00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:22.740
I would take it east of here, go to California and take it up to hit Elston.

368
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:25.000
I lost them here.

369
00:16:25.020 --> 00:16:25.380
Okay.

370
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:26.960
You're at 3400.

371
00:16:27.220 --> 00:16:27.920
Yeah, what's Elston?

372
00:16:28.420 --> 00:16:30.000
Well, Elston runs diagonally.

373
00:16:30.160 --> 00:16:30.940
That's the fun part.

374
00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:32.680
I'm with Joe.

375
00:16:33.180 --> 00:16:35.520
Sit down with Alex, Joe, right over here.

376
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.100
Rockefeller, you worked with him last Sunday.

377
00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:37.620
Yeah.

378
00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:38.020
Okay?

379
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:38.720
Yeah.

380
00:16:38.760 --> 00:16:39.320
All right.

381
00:16:40.780 --> 00:16:41.420
How you doing?

382
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:43.600
Okay.

383
00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:44.900
No problem.

384
00:16:46.020 --> 00:16:47.800
I think I always find this street I never heard of.

385
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:49.960
Well, I figured they give you the one diagonal.

386
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.320
Wolfram.

387
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.080
Wolfram.

388
00:16:51.400 --> 00:16:51.960
It's up north.

389
00:16:52.380 --> 00:16:53.120
North, north there.

390
00:16:53.180 --> 00:16:53.920
I've never heard of that street.

391
00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:54.460
Wolfram?

392
00:16:54.660 --> 00:16:54.900
Yeah.

393
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:56.120
Wait and watch this.

394
00:16:59.280 --> 00:16:59.760
There you go.

395
00:16:59.920 --> 00:17:00.460
Thank you.

396
00:17:00.540 --> 00:17:01.140
I need a one-point check.

397
00:17:01.780 --> 00:17:02.640
It's all I did then.

398
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.140
It would be really important to get them to, okay?

399
00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:07.340
You see there's a report sheet in there?

400
00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:08.180
Let me show you that.

401
00:17:08.840 --> 00:17:10.560
When you come back in.

402
00:17:10.860 --> 00:17:13.900
Since we're, you know, I've got about four staff people here,

403
00:17:14.080 --> 00:17:15.640
I'm going to help you a little bit make the report.

404
00:17:25.760 --> 00:17:26.500
That's a duplicate.

405
00:17:26.580 --> 00:17:27.780
Don't mess up with that one.

406
00:17:27.780 --> 00:17:29.040
That's why I put it on.

407
00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:31.520
I'll get you everything you need over there.

408
00:17:32.620 --> 00:17:33.020
One second.

409
00:17:33.020 --> 00:17:34.640
I'll read you the word again, okay?

410
00:17:38.260 --> 00:17:39.200
This thing right there?

411
00:17:40.540 --> 00:17:40.800
Yeah.

412
00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:43.400
Close to Mac.

413
00:17:43.820 --> 00:17:48.460
In other words, the total amount of contacts, precinct, regular report.

414
00:17:49.020 --> 00:17:51.180
Yeses, nos, not sure, window signs.

415
00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:53.820
Let me find out if we have any seating team members with an absentee.

416
00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.580
Anything else, like any complaints they have,

417
00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:59.440
or let's say if you find that a person's not registered,

418
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:01.620
get their name, address, and phone number on here.

419
00:18:01.620 --> 00:18:04.460
That way for later on when the registration opens up again,

420
00:18:04.460 --> 00:18:05.520
then we can do it, okay?

421
00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:15.920
Okay.

422
00:18:19.520 --> 00:18:19.520


423
00:18:20.060 --> 00:18:20.760
All right.

424
00:18:22.540 --> 00:18:23.140
We have the sheet.

425
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.440
They want to explain for the camera.

426
00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:31.120
Not too much though.

427
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:32.400


428
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:33.720
All right.

429
00:18:33.840 --> 00:18:35.960
Plus, minus, in essence, when you go to the door,

430
00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:39.420
you're going to introduce yourself as a Daly Ocasio volunteer,

431
00:18:39.780 --> 00:18:41.820
Alderman Ocasio running in the 26th floor.

432
00:18:43.120 --> 00:18:45.600
Introduce yourself, give them literature if we have it.

433
00:18:46.580 --> 00:18:49.400
In essence, have a short conversation with them explaining the race.

434
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.800
You want to end up with the question with them saying,

435
00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:56.440
can Alderman Ocasio and Mayor Daly count on your support on February 28th?

436
00:18:56.560 --> 00:19:04.120
They would answer yes, mark the plus, no, the minus, and the unshared mark the zero.

437
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:08.000
If they need any absentee ballots, mark that.

438
00:19:08.280 --> 00:19:10.580
If they need any window signs, also mark that.

439
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.940
If they have any special requests, just put it on as far as a complaint

440
00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:18.000
with a water problem, street sanitation, or whatever.

441
00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:20.380
Mark it on there and we'll forward that through the ward.

442
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:21.780
How long has he been in the Alderman?

443
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.360
He's been in the Alderman one time already.

444
00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:28.340
He took over for Alderman Gutierrez, who is now a Congressman.

445
00:19:30.020 --> 00:19:33.240
Appreciate it, you guys do a good job and take advantage of the weather.

446
00:19:33.360 --> 00:19:34.600
Is he backed by Gutierrez too?

447
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:37.420
No, we're not concerned with that right now.

448
00:19:37.460 --> 00:19:38.820
I know, but a lot of people say that.

449
00:19:38.820 --> 00:19:39.980
They won't ask you that.

450
00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:46.780
But in essence, since Gutierrez is the man who recommended him,

451
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:50.160
I'm sure we can say that Congressman Gutierrez recommends him highly.

452
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.020
Okay?

453
00:19:51.280 --> 00:19:53.160
All right, thank you.

454
00:19:55.780 --> 00:19:57.840
Okay, appreciate it. We'll see you later.

455
00:20:02.600 --> 00:20:03.640
Two floors underground.

456
00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:06.400
What does triple zero mean?

457
00:20:06.760 --> 00:20:07.280
It's in the two.

458
00:20:11.260 --> 00:20:12.600
What is this for?

459
00:20:12.900 --> 00:20:14.780
It's for public TV for next year.

460
00:20:14.860 --> 00:20:16.560
Known for our politics, I would say.

461
00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:19.960
One of our finer points.

462
00:20:20.560 --> 00:20:23.840
See we got Canada, off, fucking, I don't know.

463
00:20:24.260 --> 00:20:25.760
You want to just hit that one for now then?

464
00:20:28.940 --> 00:20:29.700
That's a two.

465
00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:33.560
Let's meet at 2700 North on Artesia then.

466
00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:35.520
We'll figure it out from there then where we're going to go, okay?

467
00:20:36.280 --> 00:20:37.560
Artesia is right...

468
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:39.640
This is a duplicate thing.

469
00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:40.640
This is the old touch down.

470
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:42.680
This is the best place to get started at.

471
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:44.160
Don't touch them.

472
00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:48.660
At least if you get a point to start with, it's easier once you get there.

473
00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:51.580
Yeah, why don't we meet at 2700 North Artesia.

474
00:20:53.100 --> 00:20:54.140
Artesia is right by Western.

475
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.120
It's one block off of Western, so it's right past Poulton.

476
00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:02.300
We got to go back this way then.

477
00:21:02.560 --> 00:21:04.020
Poulton is 2400 North.

478
00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:08.600
Where do we go, New York?

479
00:21:09.320 --> 00:21:10.180
Or the jam?

480
00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:43.940
The jam is right over there.

481
00:22:07.080 --> 00:22:08.080
Okay.

482
00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:10.560
So cool.

483
00:22:18.540 --> 00:22:19.420
Good morning.

484
00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:21.460


485
00:22:22.280 --> 00:22:22.280


486
00:22:22.580 --> 00:22:23.460
Good morning.

487
00:22:23.460 --> 00:22:24.040
How you doing, guys?

488
00:22:24.220 --> 00:22:26.400
I'm gonna get in there.

489
00:22:27.060 --> 00:22:27.640
We got city.

490
00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:29.960
Get the hand on that, right there.

491
00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:30.460
And names.

492
00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:34.000
What are the faces?

493
00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:36.960
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna split up.

494
00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:38.760
What we have here is five precincts.

495
00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:39.560
See what it's going to be.

496
00:22:39.600 --> 00:22:40.500
Five precincts.

497
00:22:40.500 --> 00:22:43.220
I'm going to split them all up in like halves.

498
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:45.220
So it'll be like A and B.

499
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.700
You guys are familiar with the plus minus and everything we've been doing in the absentee ballots and all that.

500
00:22:50.060 --> 00:22:51.940
The alderman here is Alderman Ocasio.

501
00:22:52.800 --> 00:22:58.240
So in essence, when you introduce yourself, you're a representative of Mayor Daley and Alderman Ocasio.

502
00:22:58.520 --> 00:23:01.200
We want you both names here. Ocasio, Daley.

503
00:23:01.760 --> 00:23:03.000
So in essence, it'll be the same.

504
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:08.420
Let me have all your names again and then what I'll do is I'll get this stuff ready together and I'll call you guys Ocasio and Water.

505
00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:12.600
Let me have your names one more time.

506
00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:15.160
Michelle Mish.

507
00:23:15.820 --> 00:23:15.820


508
00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:19.780
Hickey.

509
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:22.160
Quirin.

510
00:23:25.060 --> 00:23:25.380
Ryan.

511
00:23:26.040 --> 00:23:26.040


512
00:23:28.600 --> 00:23:29.360
Ruey.

513
00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:30.420
R-U-A-N-E.

514
00:23:32.900 --> 00:23:33.340
Wilkinson.

515
00:23:34.100 --> 00:23:35.540
Wilkinson or Wilkerson?

516
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.300
Okay, give me about five minutes. I'll get your folders together and we'll send you the bears right out.

517
00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:45.760
Thank you.

518
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:58.460
So I know how many you have. Just two cars so I can split you in two anyway, right?

519
00:23:58.620 --> 00:24:00.020
We'll fix you up as much as we can.

520
00:24:00.300 --> 00:24:00.420
Thank you.

521
00:24:01.780 --> 00:24:02.740
Nothing here.

522
00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:12.260
Yeah, Perino working here. I mean over there, usually over there on the walking.

523
00:24:14.140 --> 00:24:14.620
31st?

524
00:24:14.620 --> 00:24:14.860
Yeah.

525
00:24:15.120 --> 00:24:15.740
31st floor.

526
00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:29.400
Yeah, this is 26.

527
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.980
Well, I understood 10 and I know the rest.

528
00:24:37.220 --> 00:24:39.100
Eight people, something or other.

529
00:24:41.140 --> 00:24:42.880
They're going to be quite brisk and flabby.

530
00:24:46.900 --> 00:24:48.020
What are you guys going to be doing?

531
00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:49.080
We're going to be painting.

532
00:24:50.820 --> 00:24:55.020
Going door to door, can't say that's not a sign.

533
00:24:57.220 --> 00:24:58.820
So you're not going to move forward, huh?

534
00:24:58.820 --> 00:24:59.460
No.

535
00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:01.880
These came into help.

536
00:25:02.580 --> 00:25:02.580


537
00:25:06.100 --> 00:25:07.620
Are you guys going to work together?

538
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:11.220
No, I'm waiting for my partner. They're going to work, I don't know.

539
00:25:12.100 --> 00:25:13.240
We're waiting for him.

540
00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:14.700
Okay.

541
00:25:15.320 --> 00:25:16.160
You've done this before?

542
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:20.180
Yeah, been doing it for about four weeks already.

543
00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:21.380


544
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:22.540
Do you like it?

545
00:25:22.900 --> 00:25:25.620
Oh yeah, that's fun. A lot of work.

546
00:25:28.060 --> 00:25:28.700
Yeah.

547
00:25:34.540 --> 00:25:38.620
It's for the kids. I'm taking it right there.

548
00:25:39.040 --> 00:25:40.100
Do you have any new buttons?

549
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:42.180
What do you mean?

550
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:44.440
No, no.

551
00:25:47.660 --> 00:25:49.220
Those are great.

552
00:25:51.780 --> 00:25:52.340
Hey!

553
00:25:52.340 --> 00:25:52.860
Hey!

554
00:25:58.980 --> 00:26:00.500
On North Avenue?

555
00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:02.000
Where?

556
00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.860
Oh, you know why? Because that's Rivera's house.

557
00:26:10.260 --> 00:26:12.520
But I got it tomorrow.

558
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:52.320
Stay walking up, right?

559
00:26:52.320 --> 00:26:53.600
You want some balloons?

560
00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:57.440
Yeah.

561
00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:59.260
This will be my phone raiser for now.

562
00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:01.280
All right, Paloma, you want some balloons?

563
00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:01.840
Yeah.

564
00:27:02.380 --> 00:27:03.120
How many balloons?

565
00:27:03.280 --> 00:27:06.520
Those balloons are supposed to be filled up already.

566
00:27:06.700 --> 00:27:07.860
You can't be handing empty balloons.

567
00:27:07.860 --> 00:27:10.360
I handed out on the phone raiser. We're going to have it.

568
00:27:17.340 --> 00:27:18.780
You want some balloons?

569
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:19.100
Yeah.

570
00:27:22.380 --> 00:27:22.980
That's it.

571
00:27:35.600 --> 00:27:38.480
Luis, you want some balloons?

572
00:27:49.340 --> 00:27:50.980
Yeah, but I wanted a full one.

573
00:27:50.980 --> 00:27:53.340
Ah, your wife filled them up for you.

574
00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:54.620
Oh, go ahead.

575
00:27:54.620 --> 00:27:55.920
I got it.

576
00:28:10.820 --> 00:28:13.620
The Caps Program?

577
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:26.000
No, but you know...

578
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:26.000


579
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.920
Two more guys in there.

580
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:32.060
You got the helium. With the helium, they stay real nice.

581
00:28:32.280 --> 00:28:32.820
I did it last night.

582
00:28:32.820 --> 00:28:35.020
What I'll do, I'll give you the whole precinct.

583
00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:38.000
Instead of breaking it up, I'll give you guys the whole thing for that reason.

584
00:28:41.340 --> 00:28:44.300
Listen, by the time you got there, people are going to be going out shopping and stuff.

585
00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:44.840
You want to get them?

586
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:45.480
Yeah.

587
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:45.780
Okay?

588
00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:46.340
Yeah.

589
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:47.960
So you're going to go with number four.

590
00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:51.480
Precinct number four. I'll give you just one folder. You guys will work together.

591
00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:53.740
This will be the other half of it.

592
00:28:59.100 --> 00:28:59.500
Okay?

593
00:28:59.580 --> 00:29:01.220
Perfect. Perfect.

594
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.280
Okay?

595
00:29:06.760 --> 00:29:07.900
Make sure you use that balloon.

596
00:29:08.040 --> 00:29:10.120
Take another one with you. Take two of them with you.

597
00:29:11.040 --> 00:29:11.240
Okay.

598
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:13.600
Okay? Now why don't you take a few windowsigns if you want?

599
00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:17.420
A couple of windowsigns.

600
00:29:19.580 --> 00:29:20.680
A few windows.

601
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.400
Okay?

602
00:29:22.780 --> 00:29:23.460
That's pretty busy here.

603
00:29:23.460 --> 00:29:27.340
If I get one more Spanish guy, I'll go on to 18. Otherwise it's gorgeous.

604
00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:28.120


605
00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:28.640
Alright.

606
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:29.420
Appreciate it, huh?

607
00:29:30.120 --> 00:29:31.160
Thank you.

608
00:29:32.580 --> 00:29:32.980
See you later.
