"Blades of Grass": Virtual phone banking for progressive candidates!
Just got this e-mail tonight: Looks like a good plan!


---------------------------------------------------------------
Who's got a plan for winning in November?

Here's the plan. We are setting up virtual phone banks all over the country to call our neighbors and friends to let them know there ARE candidates out there fighting for them on the issues they care about now. And all we're asking our participants to do is make 10 calls a week, just 10 calls a week in your spare time.

And if we just do that, each of us, in the next 4 months we can build the most ferocious ground game ever witnessed in the history of American politics.

Each of our candidates is featuring a progressive issue we believe will resonate with their constituents, with an action page on their on web site as evidence that they taking a stand on this issue NOW. Just pick a phone bank for an issue you care about, log in, and you can start making calls immediately.

You will need a Blades of Grass password to participate. If you don't already have one first go to:

SIGNUP PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/bladesofgrass.htm

and your password will be good at ALL the Virtual Phone Banks so you can help out anywhere you are needed. Here are the first two virtual phone banks in business now.

JEFF LATAS (AZ-08):
Action: Support the Murtha Plan to bring our troops home from Iraq.
Virtual Phone Bank: http://www.jefflatas.com/login2_latas.html

VERONICA HAMBACKER (MO-08):
Action: Revisit NAFTA/CAFTA and amend them to be FAIR, not FREE, trade agreements.
Virtual Phone Bank: http://www.hambackerforuscongress.com/login2_hambacker.html

Once you log in to the virtual phone bank of your choice, you will find a simple script for you ready to use, easy instructions, thumbnail snapshots of the candidate's positions on other issues, there is even a live chat function where you can get INSTANT live help and coaching while you are making the calls.

We get many emails from people saying they wish they could do something, but they don't know how they can really help. This is it folks. This is our big move. It's up to us now. We have four months to build unstoppable momentum. But ONLY if each of us does SOMETHING between now and November 7th to GET OUT THERE AND MOBILIZE!!

If you need any help at all, logging in, password help, email us. We are on duty all waking hours. We are here to help you and make you a success. Accept that help and we will win.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours.
