Volunteering for a candidate

[Tippiechick]

Yes, in 2000, as an intern, I was sent to Baltimore for GTVO (Get the vote out) work...

The scheduling department made an error while making our reservations. Turns out, they put us in a hotel KNOWN in Towson for drug activity. After seeing a drug deal go down between a guy and the hotel desk clerk, I was seriously scared, because the guy had a gun in full view... (The desk clerk knew what room I was in and had the key code to get in if she wanted...)

We called the campaign and told them what happened. They called the Towson police and discussed the situation. When the police found out what had happened, they gave us a full police escort to another hotel in a better part of Baltimore. It only took 5 minutes from the time we hung up with the campaign until the cops got there...

That's the best story I have...
