Take 5 friends
Its a new game, and its called "showing up to vote" - I want all of you to take 5 friends with you to the Polls to vote.

Don't forget your aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, grand parents, great grandparents, neighboors, friends, buddies, your neighboors neighboor and your childrends parents and there friends and anyone else you can get to the polls.

This election will only be won with force, and through the force of democracy we can make sure we decide who our president is and not a court.

So please, GET 5 people to go and vote with you - if you only have a sedan get 3 people to go and if you only have a 2 seater get another person to go with you.

The lines may be long, so its more fun to have someone you know to stand in line with!

GET OTU THE VOTE!

Volunteer!

Call up all your friends and REMIND THEM TO VOTE!!!

1. And if your relatives are all Republican
Call up Democratic Headquarters and get the names of people who aren't to take to vote! :)

3. INDEED!!
Especially if you go around 3:00 PM in your area as your DNC headquarters will mostlikely be putting the pressure on no shows to GET OUT THE VOTE!!

2. Make it a party
Halloween candy, video games, soft drinks, lawn chairs. We can set another trend this year, Presidential elections are days to do nothing but VOTE!!!

6. yesterday I called the friends I had registered
and reminded them to take each other:

"Hi Joe, it's Sky. Could you do me a favor and make sure you take your roommate Sam with you when you go to vote on Tuesday? It's his first time voting so he needs you to show him the ropes. Just go there first thing in the morning, the address is on the back of your card. Call me if you have any trouble. Love you, we'll catch up later, bye!"

"Hi Jill, this is Sky...." etc.

:)

We live in TX so they're not getting political calls otherwise.
