Election Theft- It's Ground Game & "Boots On Ground" That'll Save This |
|
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 09:33 AM by cryingshame
How did Gore and Kerry lose? Several factors.
One big problem for Democrats for decades was either having NO or very little party infrastructure in swing states and red states. This impacted not just the Presidential election but down ticket too.
Things have changed significantly since Howard Dean took over the DNC.
Obama built on this organizing trend from the very beginning of his campaign.
Gore and Kerry had a major problem with not enough PRE-EXISTING infrastructure on the ground to fight and make sure Provisional Ballots secured and counted.
Not enough activists to show up where necessary to raise a stink.
Obama has spent big bucks building organizations.
It's what we need to make sure EVERY VOTE COUNTS THIS TIME.

1. We HAD Boots On the Ground, But THEY Had the Power… |
|
…to declare a fake "terror alert" and throw out all our election monitors while they changed votes.
They still do.

2. Do NOT get overconfident about boots on the ground. They are desperate for volunteers and since |
|
so many are strapped they do NOT show up for their shifts canvassing etc.
Obama's campaign needs phone bankers who can spend an hour, two hours a week calling from home to ANY state.
So if you live in California or NY you can call FL, OH etc.
Please PM me for details or check Obama's website for phone lists.
THANKS!
