Urgent!!!! Do not assume that those you are counting on
to vote Democratic will actually vote. I had a shocker today. Four folks who always vote Democratic told me they would probably not be voting tomorrow. One said she had a cold and probably wouldn't feel like it , another one told me he had to be at work early and probably wouldn't get away, another informed me that she had to be in traffic court and probably wouldn't find the time and the final one told me that his vote would probably be stolen so why bother? I told all of them that not voting was a vote for Chimpy and am confident I got through to the first three but the fourth guy is totally depressed about politics and doubt anything I said made a difference. I was really shaken by all of this and just wanted to remind everyone of the importance of last minute phone calls.
