DUers doing GOTV I have a song for you to play to fire up voters...

It's just under 5 MB, I can either email it to you or you can DL it at this link

To hear it before you DL check out the YouTube version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmSAvRb7AHU

I listened to a lot of proObama songs and this one met my requirements of having an upbeat tempo & good repetition of lyrics.

Props to Chinese Hip Hop artist Jin for An Open Letter to Obama

"Go Obama! I don't know politics, that's no joke, but I do know that I get one vote. You want to make change then you got to take note. What you gonna do. Take it to the polls. What you gonna do. Take it to the polls."


I listened to Wyclef, NAS, Coco Tea & every single song available on iTunes that is proObama & this one is the best IMHO for GOTV.

2. It's amazing how many songs there are about Obama.

I've spent some time going through YouTube looking for Obama songs. Not everyone likes rap so much, so you might add this to your rotation list! :-)

3. In OH we are trying to get AA votes in early so GOP can't suppress, Hip Hop is actually quite
mainstream & for GOTV a repetition of Call to Action lyrics is very important.

So regardless of whether middle aged white Obama supporters like Hip Hop or not, it's the sound we need to get noticed when we do street canvassing in urban areas where you have high voter densities & a large percentage of likely democratic voters.

I just got this into the hands of people in Ohio's most populous county Cuyahoga. We need to run up the numbers among low income and minority voters in urban areas. Early voting means we are banking those votes right now.

Please help get this song to anyone who is doing urban GOTV.

In 2004 I used Eminem's Mosh for GOTV. There is a reason why sound is such an important part of everything we do.
