This week, ABC, the amazing building team of Ideal Homes and more than 3,000 volunteers created a new start for the Skaggs family in Lexington. I was honored to be one of the many volunteers. The James Lankford for Congress campaign does a major community service project every month with our core leadership to help us keep our focus on real families. I have already learned that 
campaigns can change your priorities away from people and onto the political process itself. We want to avoid that pitfall.
Our team served from six to midnight Thursday night on the outdoor debris clean up team. We worked alongside a service group from Oklahoma Christian University (a great group of guys). After a week of rain and snow, the outside of the house was a mess. We are talking, cold, sloppy, sink half way to your knees kind of soft mud. There was more mud than a presidential campaign.
“Move that bus” has become the battle cry for transformation and service. It is a moment when all of the volunteers and all of the suppliers can look with the family and say, “welcome home.” I have been moved as I watched that moment on TV, but it will be different with this house. This time it is the house I didn’t watch it being built, I helped build it.
It is the same thing I pray we are able to do with our many volunteers late this summer. When many people in Central Oklahoma watch the election results the evening of July 27th, some will be moved, but the hundreds of people who have volunteered with our campaign will know that this time, they did not watch, they made it happen.
Why don’t you join us? We need many more people who will help. If you can give just a few hours or a few months, we would be honored to have your help on the campaign team. We have all kinds of tasks to be done. On the night of the election, you will know that you had a part in the transformation of the United States Congress. Come move the bus with us by clicking on “Get Involved” at the top of this page.
Please join us as a campaign volunteer. America doesn’t change while we sit and watch TV, someone has to get up and do the work. It is our turn to protect liberty and defend the Constitution.
