It's true: The 2008 elections aren't over yet! Though enthusiastic voters across the nation sent Barack Obama to the White House on November 4th and elected dozens more Democrats to Congress, our work isn't quite finished yet.
In just a few days, on December 2nd, voters in Georgia will have a run-off election to decide whether to elect Democrat Jim Martin and give Barack Obama another vote in the U.S. Senate or to send incumbent Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss back to Washington where he'll continue the right-wing's obstructionism.
This is a critical race – electing Jim Martin could move us one step closer to a 60 vote, filibuster-proof majority in the U.S. Senate – and you can make a huge difference, right now. The online phone banking tool used all over the country to "get out the vote" for Barack Obama on November 4th is now being used to "get out the vote" for Jim Martin, and I hope you'll use it to help Jim win on December 2nd.
Will you make just 10 phone calls to Democratic voters and remind them to vote for Jim Martin next week?

http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=fjIUIbPQJfKPIgI&s=beLMIUMzFkILLTMFF&m=kiKRL4PMLdLXHJim Martin is a Vietnam veteran and served for 18 years as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives. As a state legislator, he was a leader on health care issues and helped provide quality and affordable health care to thousands of Georgia's children. Jim continued his work for children at the Georgia Department of Human Resources which he led under two Governors, working hard to protect foster children and put them in loving homes.
On the other hand, if there's anyone who’s made Swiftboating an art form, it's Saxby Chambliss. 6 years ago, he defeated Democratic Senator Max Cleland, a Vietnam veteran and triple-amputee, by questioning his patriotism and running ads comparing him to Osama Bin Laden. Right after 9-11, these types of despicable tactics may have worked. But it's time to move beyond Swiftboaters to people like Jim Martin who will work with Barack Obama to turn our country around.
Jim Martin understands the toll that the failed policies of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have taken on America's families, and I know he can help put our country back on track. He has has run a terrific campaign, and his race is one we can win. But Jim is going to need all the help he can get.

http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=fjIUIbPQJfKPIgI&s=beLMIUMzFkILLTMFF&m=kiKRL4PMLdLXHThe Martin campaign's goal is to have as many out-of-state activists as possible call Democratic voters in Georgia so that their 150+ volunteer Field Organizers and thousands of volunteers on the ground can focus on knocking on doors and having face-to-face conversations with voters.
They just need our help to remind Georgia Democrats to get out and vote for Jim Martin on December 2nd. Only a few minutes of your time – and 10 phone calls – will make a huge difference. Will you help?
