How to take your frustrations out on the Repukes...
First of all, we should NOT be frustrated...I mean we hit 50%. But after this convention bounce, and the numbskulls who were dumb enough to support Bush figure in, it's still going to be close...

So here's the deal...Most of us, as Dems, already know this and get this from our mailing lists and our state committees,

BUT I AM ASKING ALL OF YOU...

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT stay home or go to the office on Election DAY. I pray that DU is dead on that day because everyone is out as part of the ground organization. Myself, being from Norther Washington, i'm in safe dem territory. I'm thinking of going out to Nevada (and take 4 days to hang out in Vegas after. During E-day, people are needed to man the phones, scrutineer, and this is a big one...DRIVE supporters to polls. This is especially huge for Seniors and in minority communities.
I believe that getting the vote out in Hispanic and African American communities is VITAL.

As well, we DEFINATELY need help on Campus. Obama's support is huge on College Campuses, and this could make the difference in States such as Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Michigan (Winning 3 out of those 4 would guarantee a Democratic Whitehouse) with many large college campuses. We need organizers on Campus AT EACH CAMPUS. Campus strategy is a key to victory.

As well, we need people with legal skills, experience or contacts to be prepared with familiarity of State laws and voting regulations, as minority voters will be purposely given a hard time and inconvenienced to be discouraged from voting.

So please, go to http://action.barackobama.com/page/s/volunteer/, or better yet, call your local Obama campaign office and get involved. As i've said before, McCain's incompetence, Palin's generally annoying nature, etc. don't matter. They can have that.

All that matters are 270 electoral votes. We are only 18 away with the Kerry states.

ELECTIONS ARE WON IN 2 PLACES. THE AIR WAR AND THE GROUND WAR. SINCE THE MSM IS IN THEIR BACK POCKETS, THEY OWN THE AIR WAR...SO WE MUST WIN ON THE GROUND....
