DU! Let's End This Thing!--Activism Alert!!
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 08:07 PM by Kristi1696
Obama is closing in the PA polls and if he wins here, the primary season is O-V-E-R!

Help me kill GD-P by volunteering in PA this weekend or next!

I know that everyone here has primary fatigue, but we PA folks helped y'all with your primaries and need those favors returned! Jersey, Ohio, NY, Delaware...yeah, I'm looking at you! California and Texas, we phonebanked our asses off for you, can you help us out?

Seriously please, PLEASE plan on coming to PA either this weekend or next to canvass!

If you want to come to Philly, contact me, I can hook you up.

Perhaps JimGinPA, Yael, Jake3463 and others might be willing to help out with coordinating other areas?

If you can't be here physically, then please plan on phonebanking PA this weekend.

It's time for this to end, but we all must do our share! Together...YES.WE.CAN!

2. Coming up to Philly both weekends
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 07:13 PM by democrattotheend
I'm staying with my parents but do any of you have guest rooms/couches to host volunteers if I bring friends? We have a Passover seder to go to the weekend of the election so I can't really host a lot of people that weekend.

66. That's why I donated $100 ~ how do I donate gas money
this week end to OBAMA.



I wish there was a way to donate to the PA Office of the campaign in order to reimburse people that need to drive from Ohio etc.

Does anyone know how to do that ?

10. End this thing, now
I'm in Georgia and will be phonebanking if I can. I was contacted today about possibly heading to NC for their primary, but work might prevent it.

I've donated several times to help fund you guys and I will be sending the good vibes for nice weather at the GOTV.

11. Yes. Please phonebank.
There have been so many recent events important to this primary (i.e. Tuzla, Penn) that I'm sure many people have become undecided.

Thanks!

14. Activism for me
falls under the category of repeatedly sending of letters to superdelegates asking them to support neither.

I don't want to "end this thing." I want a brokered convention, and a candidate I can vote for in good conscience in November.

67. I have done the phone banking
and for some reason it is not my strength. :(

I'll give it a try again by going to www.barackobama.com
You have inspired me!

If you have any hints,let me know.

My problem is I don't like people to call me and bother me when I'm busy.
So, I don't want to offend anyone.

Here in Philly we feel like we have the support, but getting all these folks out to the polls is a daunting task!

25. Do you live in Northern/Central NJ or NY
If you do I have a great area for you to help out Senator Obama and its only a stones throw away from Jersey and NY. We have a very organized operation in the Lehigh Valley with the choice of 3 offices to work out of in the area. Please PM if your interested in coming down.

I cannot wait for this primary to be over..commute to work 1 hour work 8 hours commute home 1 hours relax one hour than off to the email and phones I go for 2 hours. Than 8 hours on Saturday and 4 hours on Sunday Canvasing. Took off the two days before the election...

I'm taking a "break" today and tommorow. Only one hour on the phone.

This is tough.

35. Ah but it is good Jake3463.
Your work is likely having an impact and the positive attitude towards a problem rather than just thinking "Oh PA will never go for Obama" reflects well on our chances in the GE and hopefully congressional seats.

Good work everyone! As interest gains!! McCain's chances fade!!
