To all the volunteering corps...

[nuxvomica]

To all the volunteering corps
Who knocked on every voter's door
Your influence was strong
And so I dedicate this song
To all the volunteering corps

To all the folks who manned the phones
And heard some rants in angry tones
I want you all to know
We couldn't make it so
Without the volunteering corps

To all who wrote LTTEs
Against your local Repub sleaze
You really did your part
And won a place inside my heart
With all the volunteering corps

To all the union folks, I say,
Who worked long hours to win that day
There was lots of overtime
For which you didn't get a dime
But you surely made those bastards pay

To all who sent their money in
When it's tough to put food on your kin
The spots that money bought
Pushed back their ad onslaught
And helped to bring this epic win

While all the pundits spin and spout
It took you folks to get votes out
It wasn't just a wave
That made the Repubs cave
It was all the volunteering corps.


I did a little of this and a little of that this election but I know a lot of you folks did an awful lot more and I wanted to show my appreciation. What better way than a crude parody of an old earworm? Thank you, volunteers, for your energy and commitment and sacrifice. I salute you all. :patriot:

5. Thanks for noticing

You snatched the post from oblivion. Like I said, I didn't do much GOTV stuff but enough to see a lot of dedicated folks doing it. :hi:

7. It's an excellent and touching poem and deserves more attention than it's getting.

I would suggest cross posting this in GD, where people are more interested in discussing politics... ;)

And you do deserve the credit, since you were one of the very important closers in our District 20 race. :patriot:

2. And especially to you, who gave so much time, though you hate to talk on the phone...

3. We Dems gelled and swelled...

...like a mighty tree not to be felled.

Nice post, nuxvomica! A salute to you, too!:patriot:

6. After all the fights over who gets credit for the win Tuesday...

I wanted to honor the folks without which it wouldn't have happened: the closers.
