Reply #4: Everything helps. But I would encourage you to also try the phones. You just get better the more you

do it.

And we aren't trying to convince people to support Obama. We are looking for those people who already support Obama and working to maximize that support.

We will win by identifying who our voters are so the people on the ground can make sure they turn out and vote.

Also, many people are willing to volunteer and you can give them the opportunity to get involved by connecting them up with the campaign on the ground in their states. I called a woman the other day who was so thrilled to be called and asked to help out, it still makes me high just thinking about it. It's fun and it's also self empowering.

Any way, that's my rap to you! Thanks for caring enough to donate and I understand if the phones aren't your thing. But think of it like this; What if you presented the opportunity to just a couple of people to register to vote or to volunteer who otherwise wouldn't have? We win this one voter and one volunteer at a time.

Keep the faith!
