2. Went to the phone bank in DC, called lots of newly reg'd NV voters |

Thanks for the tip. I was great, some of the newly registered folks I called in Nevada have already voted - for Kerry of course. Mostly left messages. Some didn't know the polling location, so I provided it. This is worth the effort. There were very few negative reactions, and they weren't very negative. The main purpose of it is so people know when and where to vote.

YOU have to be on the field on election day!
Karl Rove has his 72-hour strategy vote-turnout machine, we can't leave it to others to respond on our behalf or we will lose.
If each and every one of us mobilizes on election day, we win!
Your lunch hour or the whole beautiful day, you have to spend some time in the trenches. Imagine it: a flood of Kerry supporters, visiting their fellow citizens, down oak-lined sidewalks, across dusty field, up and down apartment steps and down the old two-lane highway.
Your encouraging reminders will prod people to vote. Your support of Kerry will enforce their belief that they're making the right decision and motivate them to vote. Hopefully you'll talk to many people who are damn sure going to vote anyway. But you will be what tips the balance -- the one that gets a few more Democratic voters to the polls, times hundreds of thousands.
The Republicans are betting you won't show up!
This election is now in your hands -- more than it has ever been in this long process. You've waited four years for this. We've discussed and argued until we were battered and bruised. And then we united. Now you must carry the ball. Not the collective you, but you the person reading this.
Call your local Democratic Party Headquarters or use the links in the original post. Call them first thing in the morning. Tell them you want to hit the streets with a Democratic voter list and knock on some doors on Election day. Tell them when you are available and I guarantee you they'll accommodate you.
Then follow through. Go put a smiling face on the doorsteps of the people who are going to be the margin of victory. Work hard. Come home, flip on the TV and bask in the success of what you have done.
We are on the one-yard line, don't fumble.
