I'm appreciative to all of you Pennsylvania DUers who've been working on this.

[cbayer]

7. You deserve a reward and some relaxation. I've got a great idea.

There's a Harry Potter movie on ABC!!!

Just playing with you. Thanks for all your hard work. Relax and enjoy your night.

I love Harry.

[goclark]

34. I just donated $10 for your hard work

I started making calls to PA today and got sidetracked with some tasks. :)

Thanks so much!

[cbayer]

41. You just replied to me.

And while I appreciate your money, I think you are giving it to the wrong person.

:hi:

[goclark]

60. Oops, it's for the Worker Bee for Barack today

:hi:

Fired Up and ready to go

[AllentownJake]

43. Awesome

You out of staters keep the shoe leather on the ground here.

[Jane Austin]

98. Jake, do you have a donation page? eom

[slinkerwink]

8. thank you for your hard work!

[MadMaddie]

9. Jake3463 thanks for the hard work.

We are going to end this shit aren't we the Republicans just don't know it.

[Austinitis]

10. I just spent the last 15 hours enjoying myself

So that I'll be well rested on Tuesday to watch Hillary keep on going to the nomination.

Enjoy your cheap beer.

[Windy]

13. Not working for your candidate? And you can make that kind of statement?

Typical

No thanks.

But really, enjoy your cheap beer.

[AllentownJake]

25. I'll see you

After the Primaries.

Welcome to Ignore.

:nopity:

[Shae]

58. make it 984,211

[AllentownJake]

63. Did Ignored say something

I guess he's kind of new and doesn't know what ignored means. Can someone explain it to him.

[Shae]

74. He said there were

only 984,212 Obama supporters to listen to his bs now. And I thought, "What the hell. I don't want to listen to it either."

[AllentownJake]

82. Send him home

To the echo chamber Hillaryclintonforum.net...I encourage all Clinton supporters to join the hate site so I don't have to listen to you here.

[Austinitis]

95. You're still talking about me!

Must be a pretty awful beer if it's taking you this long to drink.

[rAVES]

146. bye bye, count me out too.

[Tribetime]

40. good idea

[stillcool]

93. Good Idea!

and :loveya: :toast:

[hisownpetard]

134. Another donation to Obama, coming right up!

People like you are filling his campaign coffers to overflowing!

[earthlover]

167. I sense a tone in your picking up on the "cheap beer" ....twice....

sorta sounds like you are looking down on cheap beer. Which is ironic. Since Hillary is supposed to be doing so much better among the Democrats most likely to drink cheap beer and can't afford anything else. I am aware among some people there is a hierachy of human-ness based on the brand of beer drunk. What. Ever. I kinda think the OP is going to enjoy the beer....after a hard day's work. Much more than the pompous condescending spectator who brags about not doing work and makes such a point about cheap beer. I have the impression Hillary Herd members are basically unhappy souls as a lot....too bad they don't get off their butts to work for their candidate instead of trying to make mind games on the ones who do! Oh, maybe not too bad. Good for Obama! The new cult is masochists who support losers for Hillary....

[Lochloosa]

26. Here's on on me

[AllentownJake]

30. You could at least pick a good picture of the enemy

She looks like the Joker there.

[Shae]

62. the joker and the devil.

What a couple they make.

[JBoy]

79. Now Hillary knows who to blame. I'd stay away from buses if I were you.

[CTLawGuy]

136. in what parallel

fantasy universe?

[earthlover]

165. Cheap Shot. I guess you're rest ... Maybe that's why Hillary is desperately playing catch up....

supporters like you who have time to disparage the work of others but don't take the time to support your own candidate. I am impressed by the OP. You, on the other hand, are one reason Hillary is losing.

[Tribetime]

11. hats off to you Jake, just don't drink Crown Royal

[NC_Nurse]

12. Good job! I know how you feel! Good, but tired.

Have one on me! :toast:

[globalvillage]

15. I did 12 today, Jake

And my schedule is the same for tomorrow. Of course, Mon and Tue I'll have to put in some serious hours.

;-)

[AllentownJake]

17. I went in for a Yard Sign

and PM to find out what I'm doing.

[babylonsister]

125. Many kudos to you, too, gv! Thank you for all you do!

:hug:

[cliffordu]

16. Thanks a bunch!!!

:patriot:

[grantcart]

18. Great work and you shouldn't have cheap beer - get a really expensive one and it will be paid for

by the next poster on this thread - great work

[AllentownJake]

20. LOL

I'm just your average elitist that drink Natural Light because he likes it better than the good stuff.

[DAGDA56]

19. Good Job, Jake....

...it must be strange feeling both exhausted and exuberant at the same time (I saw your post about shanking hands with Senator Obama.)

[crankychatter]

21. you go dawg

that's what my kids tell me

k/r

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Bravo to you, my friend! Democracy works thanks to rare people like you!

:yourock:

[AZBlue]

27. Jake, YOU! ROCK!

[Renaissance Man]

31. Good Job!

I'll be at a four-hour phone bank for Obama for America tomorrow. We're doing a last minute push to call voters in Pennsylvania.

[AllentownJake]

35. Thank you so much

We are trying to keep the people in PA off the phones and you out of staters are saving us.

[BlueIdaho]

33. Way to go Jake - keep up the good work.

One question

There was some talk a little while ago in the media about Obama not using "walking around money." Is he planning on using grass roots and student support to get folks to the polling places and get around the old political party machinery?

Keep up the good work!

[AllentownJake]

39. 35,000 people

In Philadelphia showed up last night...do you think he needs walking around money?

[Barack_America]

53. And this whole "committee men and women won't work without street money" is BS.

I've seen the walk lists pulled for them.

They know that you can't put a price on this moment in history.

[AllentownJake]

55. Hi Kristi

Had one hell of a day but got my shit done :-)

[BlueIdaho]

86. Nope

But he sure needs dedicated folks like you to make sure every single soul makes it to the poles. I've got my fingers crossed!

[Coexist]

36. You rock!

I just put in 5 hours drinking for Obama!

[dana_b]

37. aw, cheap beer?? The campaign should buy you a good beer!

thanks - we'll keep phone banking tomorrow too. :yourock:

[AllentownJake]

45. Awesome

The more you call. The more people we have knocking on doors!

[RazBerryBeret]

42. Kudos Jake!!

this Ohioan appreciates all your work! wish I could buy ya a beer!

[BlooInBloo]

44. Thank you.

[AllentownJake]

Dupe

I'm passing out now cause I have to get up at 7 to get my shit together for my site tommorow.

Make those calls into PA. One of you switched my aunt to Barack because she was only getting robo calls from Hillary and an actual person called her today. She was on the fence but you won her vote (she wouldn't listen to me I was kind of bias in her view :-) )

[AllentownJake]

46. Thank you to everyone

64. Get one of your fellows to call your aunt, LOL.

My mother won't listen to me, either, so I won't tell her who I'm for, so I totally understand...;)

on edit: My BF did calls for our Democratic congressional candidate, and his cousin was on his list. He got his wife and she hung up on him! Get a stranger to call your aunt! :D

[Barack_America]

48. Jake3463, I bow before you.

And I wish I could buy that beer for you.

:toast:

What is it about a long day of Obama volunteering and the desire for cheap beer? After the rally last night all I wanted was a lager...and I'm not a beer drinker.

Wine candidate my ass.

How are things in your area? Things here in West Philly are shaping up very nicely. People are informed and fired up for Barack. They cheer you on as you walk down the street. I kid you not. It's really quite amazing.

[writes3000]

54. I absolutely LOVE hearing that, Kristi! I'm cheering you on here in CA!

You rock!

[Barack_America]

69. Just a cog in the wheel of history.

That's all I am.

And I'm lucky enough to working with some amazing individuals. This organizing bit used to be a bit like pulling teeth. But now everyone is so dedicated that I'm almost out of a job. I came home from canvassing today, prepared to spend the night making my confirmation calls for tomorrows volunteers. Except, somebody already made the calls for me! So now I'm not quite sure what to do with myself! I guess I'll just look over my lists again or something. :shrug:

[AllentownJake]

57. My team

Is doing quite well. I'm hoping to carry my township and working my ass off.

They wake my ass up at 7 and I get off at a conference call at 10.

I think Tuesday is going to be party night :toast:

[Barack_America]

66. You will do it.

I am convinced of that. Even if they started off inclined towards Clinton, I'm sure the efforts you are making are making an impression. They'll remember that when they step into the voting booth.

I can feel that you're going to make this happen, just from your posts here. Your determination will do it.

Man, the Obama campaign should have your yard sign bronzed. They hit the freaking jackpot when you walked in "just looking for a yard sign". :D

[AllentownJake]

70. Sad thing is

I gave it away today to a volunteer My house is covered with the ST.Paddys day signs because they had extras. People know where to stop and my neighbors are pretty sure of whom I'm supporting. The undecideds avoid me because they know I want to chat :-)

[writes3000]

71. You, go, Jake! Thank you, thank you, thank you! n/t

[JimGinPA]

94. Here's To You Jake...

:toast:

The way I look at it, if Obama wins PA by a even a few votes, it'll be because of what you, Kristi, Yael & me and a few thousand of our closest frinds have done here.


K&R


edit: meant to post this to the OP. Oh well.:blush:

[jefferson_dem]

49. Thank you!

I applaud your hard work for the cause! :applause:

51. Why? n/t

[Shae]

52. Thank you so much.

I wish you all the success in the world.

[Condem]

56. Jake

Thank you. Gut check. What you think?

[AllentownJake]

61. The only thing I can speak for

Is my township. That is my responibility and I'm doing everything I can for him to carry it.

All I know is each township in my area have someone who is like me or better than me.

Take what you want out of that.

[Renaissance Man]

59. Elitist

Elitist beer-drinking, cult-following, Prius-driving, latte-sipping, San Francisco loving, militant, moveon.org supporting, freaks, the whole bunch of you.

:sarcasm:

[gabby garcia]

65. you rock!!!!

and thank you for all you do!

[Tatiana]

67. Bless you!

I spent the day going door to door in neighboring Indiana. I encountered a few rough spots, but overall it was a very rewarding and invigorating experience. My feet hurt and let me tell you, I am unwinding right now with a nice glass of Pinot Grigiot (and screw anyone who thinks drinking wine is elitist).

Thanks for all your hard work in PA. You are definitely making a difference and we all owe you a heap of gratitude. I wanted to make calls to PA but at the last minute decided to join some friends going to Indy, where the race is pretty damn tight.

[AllentownJake]

81. Thank you

I spent 3 years in Fort Wayne. God Bless Indiana. Indiana needs to work on Indiana in case we don't pull this off. We think ahead unlike other democratic candidates.

[IndyOp]

152. From a Bloomington, Indiana resident - Many, many thanks Tatiana!

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

We are working hard and we need all the help we can get. The bigger the Obama margin the better.

I spent 30 hours last week (on top of my full time job) helping to enter data so we can get out the vote.

I spent the previous 4 weeks registering people to vote -- evenings and weekends.

I was feeling sick on Friday so I stayed home yesterday and today to sleep and drown whatever it is that's got me with Gatorade. I must recover and get moving again - we have just about 2 weeks left! :wow:

72. Holy shit!

Dude, if it weren't illegal to FedEx beer, I'd buy you a 12-pack. Thank you for your efforts. They will be rewarded. :toast:

[AllentownJake]

89. No worries

I got me a 24 pack of Natural Light to get me through the primaries. 6 beers a night to calm me down because I'm so FIRED UP. We can end this bullshit here and get rid of Huckaclinton for good.

[TML]

96. I'm stocked up, too

If there's one thing I like about living in an urban area of Redneckville, it's that I can find 32-oz bottles of beer for $1.19. I have two Bud Ice bottles chillin' in my fridge, and one of them is going down the hatch on Tuesday night.

I volunteered at the fundraiser in Ybor City, (Tampa), last Tuesday and actually got shake the Senator's hand. It was quite an experience.

Thanks again.

Let's keep it up!

When I volunteered for Barack in CA, it was the best volunteering experience I've ever had.

After this is over I'll tell you all my Friday story. I can't post it on DU but I will the day after the Primary.

99. Jake - are you near Lower Macungie?

Three of my dogs live there with one of my best friends.

[AllentownJake]

102. Very close

[Jane Austin]

145. Well, if you run into

Katie Dyer, tell her to take somebody with her to the polls!

[davidpdx]

100. Thanks Jake

from an overseas voter!!!

[cboy4]

101. Did you at least get paid?

I can't imagine wasting my entire day like that without compensation.

[AllentownJake]

104. I believe in my Candidate

Enough to volunteer my time and effort. I don't give a rats ass what the polls say.

[ScarletSniper]

107. Exactly. Compensation comes when he's the nominee and then the President!!

[cboy4]

108. You're being used if you're not getting any compensation

out of this.

Do you really think Obama is going to remember you or recognize you if he ends up in the White House?

Of course not.

He's not going to care less less what you did.

[AllentownJake]

109. I don't want

Senator McCain to be President. Senator Obama IMO is the best candidate to beat him. If I can live the next 4 years without turning the TV on and seeing Iran being invaded. My time was well spent.

[babylonsister]

111. What a 'bitter' post, cboy4. Does this mean, were your gal

in the same spot, you wouldn't work for her unless you got paid? That's not the way it works.

[cboy4]

115. Babylonsister, how many times are you going to keep

calling me as a Hillary Clinton supporter, when you know I've told you on more than one occasion that I didn't even vote for her in my primary?

I can't imagine I'd spare my free time for any politician, unless it were at a local level.

So no, I would not work for Hillary Clinton if I did not get paid.

My time is money, and I don't work for millionaires for free.

And that's the way it works.

But I look forward to your next insinuation that Hillary is my "gal."

[Aloha Spirit]

116. I donated my free time to Obama's campaign, and all I got was some change.

[cboy4]

118. That's a swell slogan, but how much of that change

were you able to put in your waller?

[Aloha Spirit]

119. missed the point. next...

[cboy4]

120. Hopefully you also donated several hundred dollards.

I think it's funny that people work for free, and empty their checking accounts at the same time.

[Aloha Spirit]

122. there's nothing funny about winning.

edit--which is why I have to go phoneback.
later, sucker.

[dbmk]

133. I don't see the contradiction?

What would be a contradiction would be to donate and demand payment for work at the same time. Kinda counterproductive.

You have to assume that people donate what they think they can spare to see the result they want. Same goes for any time spent on it.

And especially the latter is deserving of all the praise that can be heaped on it. No matter which of the candidates we are talking about.

[babylonsister]

121. Gotcha. Then I don't quite understand

why all you can do is criticize anyone who gives their time and/or support to Obama, yet I have never seen you criticize anyone who supports Clinton. I must have missed those posts. :eyes:

[AllentownJake]

123. There are people on here who give their time to Clinton?

I've only seen one Clinton canvassing story on here in the past week.

[babylonsister]

124. Well, there is that! Jake, keep up the good work; don't let anyone

tell you otherwise! :thumbsup:

[cboy4]

127. Because Hillary Clinton supporters are heavily outnumbered

here, and receive at least three times the abuse Obama supporters receive as a whole.

Why would I feel like contributing to that sort of pack mentality?

Considering the large numbers of angry and obnoxious Obama supporters, (not everyone, but there are a disturbing number), especially with him in the lead, you'd think the numbers were reversed.

That paragraph alone deserves a roll eyes from me.

[AllentownJake]

128. You know

You put a frown on my otherwise happy thread. I think I'm going to clean it up.

See you after the primaries.

[cboy4]

129. I'm sorry my opinion is that you're wasting your time.

Tell you what though....you post something truly important, like you're volunteering for the disadvantaged, and I'll be the first to commend you.

[writes3000]

150. Condescending and judgmental. Cboy4 strikes again. n/t

[cboy4]

156. Pot meet kettle.

lol

[babylonsister]

130. I assume you're a Dem. Why are you trashing some

good-hearted, well meaning efforts by a supporter of one of our candidates? That is pretty lame imo. You did manage to tarnish this thread with your negativeness, and you did that in the name of 'fairness'? I don't buy it, but whatever. See you after the primaries.

[cboy4]

131. No Babylonsister, I'm a Republican.

:eyes:

It's pretty funny that Obama people are all bent out of shape about "negativeness."

In fact, it's hilarious.

[babylonsister]

132. I notice you didn't answer the question, but somehow that doesn't

surprise me. Have fun with whatever you're trying to accomplish. And don't be too bitter, k?

[Zachstar]

114. Bingo!!!

[ScarletSniper]

106. Wow..not even for Hillary? Yikes no wonder she's losing

[ScarletSniper]

103. Bless you Jake...I did some phone banking for Obama yesterday

[AllentownJake]

105. Awesome

More people calling more people we have a knocking.

[Vinca]

110. Thank you!

:applause:

[Zachstar]

112. Wow!!! That is effort! Thank you so much!!!

I have a tear in my eye thinking about the effort people are putting into ending this destructive race as soon as possible and inform people of the issues!

If we have this kind of effort once Obama gets elected then we WILL survive!!

Thank you for making my day a happy one already Jake!!!!


GOBAMA!!!

[joeprogressive]

113. You inspired me to give $25 to Obama.

Keep up the good work. You are doing us proud. When it is all over you should celebrate with a first class beer.
