I have some vacation time I need to use up - which state should I volunteer in? |
|
Seriously. I'm lucky, I have vacation time I need to use up by the end of the year, and I can afford a plane ticket, and I want Obama in office, and I want to personally do something.
The biggest problem is that I'm not a citizen (I'm a pinko Canadian.) Can I even volunteer?

I don't think you have to be a citizen...
I hear they need folks in Ohio...
It's heading for Obama, but it's still very close...

10. That would be a riot... |
|
Obama wins narrowly in say, Ohio, and the wingnuts challenge it because of Lucy Goosey the pinko volunteer from Canadia.
We'd welcome you down here in NC, but only if you get special permission!

We could use you as a runner to keep the troops supplied or lots of other activities that would not involve direct voter involvement.
Heck I have a spare bed in the sun room, you could stay here, hey?

24. Yes, Yes, OHIO Needs you! |
|
Ohio was the BIG swing state in the last election, and the Re-pugs stole it from us. And now I fear that it is happening again.
The US Supreme Court ruled in favor of Sec of State Brenner today, but now a new law suite has just been filled contesting the early voter registration/voting once again. They have had four f***ing years to get their shit together, but they wait until two weeks before the election to start up trouble.
ENOUGH!!!

The Obama campaign just transferred a bunch of their staffers there. And you should be able to get a cheap-ish flight into Chicago.

You'll be able to see the beautiful Sierra Nevada (and gamble, if you like that) in between canvassing.

29. You'd fit in fine in Florida |

Lots of accents like yours around. Nobody blinks at an "up north" accent in central Florida this time of year.
Seriously, if you decide to go, pm me. I have an empty house sitting there that you are more than welcome to camp out in.
