How are you helping Kerry win?

[wtmusic]

I'm traveling to NV every weekend. Mostly canvassing right now, some phone banking.

Just interested in how other DUers are helping the Kerry campaign...

[Tropez]

1. phone banking, first time in my life. going again this week.

[wtmusic]

3. Cool

phone banking goes against my nature, but unfortunately I'm getting sort of good at it...:P

[Angrillori]

8. Phone banked Friday, GOTV and visibility the next two

Phone banked last Friday.

Will head to HQ and see what they need on Friday coming up and Sunday.

On Halloween, the Sunday before elections, my wife and I will be on a corner somewhere in our Jack and Sally Skellington costumes holding Kerry Edwards signs, or again, whatever they tell us to do.

My wife's the real trooper though--she's a local ward captain, she's been going door-to-door, been phone calling, you name it.

I'm in Wisconsin, so I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't do everything I could.

if it wasn't for a stupid 12hr/day job I'd be out there right now. As it is I'm working on building my righteous indignation level. :)

2. Well, I voted for him today

That's gotta count for something.

[wtmusic]

5. It's gotta count

unless it was a Diebold machine :crazy:

[cheshire]

4. I'm working on undecideds. It's Harrrrd werk too. Got a drill I can use?

[wtmusic]

9. So you get to debunk "flipflops"

one of the less enjoyable jobs

[Francine Frensky]

24. Are you listening to them? Ask what their top issues are

and go at it from the angle of letting them answer their own questions (they know what's right, but they just won't say the words)...

for example, if jobs are important, ask "when were jobs plentiful? who was president?"

[cheezus]

6. starting DU threads about polls Bush leads in

oh, wait. that's not helping....

[liberal N proud]

7. Canvassing, working on Nov 2 in what ever capacity necessary

Attended a training meeting yesterday and another tonight just to be prepared for GOTV starting Oct. 27.
Volunteers still needed. Anyone?

[wtmusic]

10. Where you at? n/t

[liberal N proud]

17. Better late than never: Lorain County, Ohio

Sorry this is the next day, had to rush out to a planning meeting last night.
We still need many volunteers, they said 687 or more for election day alone.
The plans include lawyers to be available at polls for issues that might arise.
There were lawyers at this meeting last night from California.
We are prepared if we can get the man or women power.

11. I voted today & took a republican with me who wanted to vote Kerry. . .

Am also talking to young people. TODAY IS LAST DAY TO REGISTER IN CALIFORNIA!! Pass it on. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

12. I call Kerry supporters in swing states to schedule them to canvass

though the Kerry campaign's Phone corps. http://calls.johnkerry.com/

[puddycat]

13. I'm distributing campaign literature & giving signs out

I've been a failure trying to convert my Republican friends, however. When I try to talk to them about the election, they look at me with glazed over eyes, sort of that deer-in-the-headlight look that * gets. Its very frustrating, because they are very good people, but completely bamboozled by *'s lies. I did have success with the son of one of my friends though--I encouraged him to see Fahrenheit 9/11 and now he's going to vote Kerry!

[puddycat]

15. Oh, yes, I forgot about all the money I've donated

How could I forget about the money I donated? It was more than I could afford, really.

[AndyTiedye]

14. Donated Money, Volunteered to Monitor Election

[MinnesotaMike31]

16. I'm trying to get my fellow Minnesotans to join with me…

To do some visibility(honk & waves or Kerry convoys) but not getting much interest so far. None the less I'm still doing my part of putting up yard signs & plastering my vehicle with pro-Kerry signage.

[crispini]

18. Phone banking to swing states.

Travelled to a swing state once, gonna do it again.
Donated money.
Done lots of canvassing for D's on my home turf.
Election judge on election day. I was going to travel out of town... but I really want to be with my fellow Dallas for Kerry peeps for this one, for some reason. And, you have to live in a precinct to be the judge there.... so I'm needed! :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. I've answered this several thousand times, but here's one more....

;)

Canvassing.

[wtmusic]

21. thank you for all you do, Mrs G

now stop being so grumpy. ;-)

[AVID]

20. In MT I'm focussing on Schweitzer for GOV

but I speak Kerry when I canvas.

I have distributed about 500 random fliers - mostly medicare scam in elderly neighborhoods. If we can turn the old vote out in MT in favor of Kerry he will have a stronger showing and Schweitzer will win.

22. Hmmm...

no longer sure that North Carolina is "swingable", but I sure am campaigning my ass off.

[Ernesto]

23. Hey WT, you're from Sacramento arn't cha!

Anyway, keep up the good work! I have some friends that are doing the Reno thing right now.
As for me? I've sent the JK campaign over a thousand bucks for use in the battle ground states where it's needed most.... AND I think we are going to win this thing!
