R.O.A.R. — Restore Our American Republic
Why Your Help Matters More Than Advertising
This campaign runs on candidate statements, community festivals, letters to the editor, and op-eds. Big campaigns spend millions on TV ads. We don't — and we don't want to.
We have something better: YOU.
When you talk to your friends, family, and neighbors about our campaign, it works better than any TV ad. People trust people they know. That's why volunteers are the most important part of this team.
Below are 9 ways to help, listed from most impactful to still impactful. Each one includes ready-to-use scripts, templates, and tips. Pick what fits your life!

This is the single best thing you can do. Tell your friends, family, and coworkers about Gregory Burgess. You don't need to be an expert. Just share why you care.
"Have you heard of Greg Burgess? He's running for Congress in CA-2 with No Party Preference. He actually wrote 38+ bills you can read before you vote — insurance reform, timber jobs, rancher protections. No corporate money, no PAC money. Check out gregoryburgessforcongress.com."
"Greg wrote a bill that requires insurance companies to cover fire-hardened homes. You can read the whole bill at gregoryburgessforcongress.com. No other candidate has done that."
"Greg has a bill to reopen sawmills and create thousands of forestry jobs. California went from 300 mills to fewer than 30. He's got real legislation to bring them back."
"Greg runs as No Party Preference. No corporate money, no PAC money. He wrote 38+ bills first, then asked for votes. That's different."
Share on Social Media
Post about our campaign on your Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), TikTok, or Nextdoor. Posts from real people — not campaign accounts — reach way more people. Social media algorithms show your posts to more of your friends than they show ours.

Knock on Doors in Your Neighborhood
Walk around your neighborhood and talk to voters face-to-face. This is called "canvassing." You don't have to be a great speaker. Just introduce yourself, share a brochure, and ask if they've heard of Gregory Burgess. Most people are friendly!
"Hi, I'm [your name], your neighbor from [street/area]. I wanted to let you know about Gregory Burgess — he's running for Congress in our district. What makes him different is he actually wrote 38+ bills you can read before you vote. His website is gregoryburgessforcongress.com. Can I leave you a brochure?"
Pro Tips: Go in pairs for safety and confidence. Best times are Saturday mornings and weekday evenings (5–7 PM). If nobody's home, leave a brochure at the door. Never argue — just smile, share the info, and move on. Contact us at gregoryburgessforcongress.com/contact to request printed brochures.
Write a Letter to Your Local Newspaper
Newspapers print letters from regular people in the "Letters to the Editor" section. Write a short letter (150–200 words) about why you support Gregory Burgess. This is FREE publicity that thousands of voters will read!
Dear Editor,
I'm writing to share why I'm supporting Gregory Burgess for Congress in CA-2. Unlike most candidates, Burgess has drafted 30+ actual bills that voters can read before casting a ballot. His platform "An Honest Economy for All" covers insurance reform, timber jobs, rancher protections, and rural healthcare — issues that matter here in [YOUR COUNTY].
What stands out most is his commitment to transparency and independence: no PAC money, no corporate donors. He calls it "Show Your Work" — or R.O.A.R.: Restore Our American Republic — because he believes voters deserve to see exactly what they're voting for.
I encourage readers to visit gregoryburgessforcongress.com and read the bills themselves. After years of empty promises from both parties, this approach is refreshing.

Share the Right Bill with the Right Person
The "Show Your Work" approach is most powerful when you match a specific bill to a person's specific concern. When someone complains about insurance, wildfire, housing, or healthcare — you can say: "There's actually a bill for that. Here, read it."
Power Move: Text someone the link to a specific bill that matches their concern. Saying "there's a real bill for that — read it" is 10x more convincing than "vote for my guy."
Represent Us at Community Events
Go to farmers markets, local fairs, town meetings, or community events and talk about the campaign. You can hand out brochures and answer basic questions. Or just be visible! When people see our name over and over, they remember it.
Great events to attend: farmers markets, county fairs, school events, church gatherings, neighborhood association meetings, Rotary or Lions Club meetings, coffee shops, local festivals.
What to bring: Your phone loaded with gregoryburgessforcongress.com (to show people bills), printed brochures if you have them (contact us to request some), and your own enthusiasm. That's it. You ARE the campaign.
Call Voters From Home
Can't walk around the neighborhood? You can still help from your couch. Call voters in your area and tell them about Gregory Burgess. We'll give you a list and a simple script. Most calls are short — 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
"Hi, this is [your name]. I'm a volunteer for Gregory Burgess, who's running for Congress in CA-2. He's the only candidate who wrote 38+ real bills you can read before you vote — covering insurance, jobs, and healthcare. Can I tell you about one that might matter to you? ... Great, you can read it at gregoryburgessforcongress.com. Thanks for your time!"
Record a 30-Second Video
Use your phone to record a short video about why you support Greg. Just look at the camera and speak from the heart! These videos work great on social media because they feel real and honest — not like a polished TV ad.
"I'm voting for Gregory Burgess because [YOUR REASON]. He's the only candidate who actually wrote the bills before asking for my vote. You can read every single one at gregoryburgessforcongress.com. That's what Show Your Work — R.O.A.R.: Restore Our American Republic — means to me."
Pro Tips: Film horizontally (sideways) for Facebook/YouTube or vertically for Instagram/TikTok. Natural light is your friend — stand near a window or film outside. Keep it under 60 seconds. Imperfect is perfect — voters trust real over polished.
Get Greg Invited to Speak
Do you belong to a club, church, or community group? Help us get Greg invited to speak! Groups like Rotary, Lions Club, Kiwanis, neighborhood associations, veterans' organizations, and church groups often invite guests. You just need to ask your group leader.
We'll come prepared with a short talk about the Three Promises and answer every question.
"I'd like to suggest inviting Gregory Burgess to speak at our next meeting. He's running for Congress in CA-2 and has a unique approach — he's written 30+ actual bills that cover issues like [insurance/timber/healthcare]. He's happy to take questions and it would be a great discussion for our group."
