McCain campaign appeals for candidates

John McCain's New Hampshire campaign has sent out a last minute e-mail to recruit Republican candidates for local office.

The e-mail begins with "friends" and argues that candidates can "help bring about real reform."

"Here in New Hampshire we have a strong tradition of citizen participation in government this is evident from town meetings to town hall forums with presidential candidates," the e-mail states. "You too can be part of Senator McCain's team and help bring about real reform by running for office this year on the Republican ticket."

The e-mail is signed by McCain's State Chairman Peter Spaulding and gives contact information for the Secretary of State office and New Hampshire Republican Party Executive Director Mike Hamilton.

It also urges Republicans to file to become a delegate to the State Republican Convention, which is held after the state primaries in the fall.
