Reply #3: I went out for OFA

[AC_Mem]

In June with pledge sheets. We just talked to people and asked them to sign a form from the President asking that they would pledge to vote. My volunteer partner and I far exceeded our goal for signatures - people were very excited to PLEDGE to vote in 2010.

The GOP is trying to steal the GOTV organizing techniques from OFA but like all who copy an original, they just can't do it as well.

In my opinion, what the republicans/conservatives don't have is HOPE. That, to me is the major difference between the people on the right and left. I never hear a conservative speak of hope for the future, it is always about fear.

Hope is a much higher vibration than fear and creates a much larger and long lasting wave of energy. There is only so long that people can be in misery before they NEED to find something to lift their spirits. I completely believe that democrats are going to come out and vote because we just like that happy feeling of HOPE.
