Ok DU, This is it the last 3 days. I know everyone of you bitch about the direction of our country so now it is time to do something. Go to www.callforchange.org and make some calls...NOW! The members of MoveOn have kicked it into gear in a big way, and it is time for us to pitch in to make this a land slide. Every DU member should take the time to reach-out and tell at least 100 lazy D's to get to the polls.
If you care then work, if you don't work then you don't care.
Good Calling, Chris
Edit: keep this kicked.

5. What does id'ing voters with disconnected/wrong phone numbers worth? |
|
So that they are either called with the next number listed or not called on Election Day for the GOTV?
Expect to finish either Sunday nite or Monday morning with data entry.

8. My e-mail said 3 MILLION CALLS!!! |
|
Hi Breeze;
I have some really important news—please take a moment to read this email carefully.
As of 7:36 p.m. last night, we've made 3 million calls together.
3 MILLION CALLS!
It's an enormous accomplishment—we've identified enough
progressive voters in close races to tip the whole election.
We've staked our whole program on calling back the people we've identified over the next 4 days. You read that right: We have 96 hours to call 450,000 voters, let them know where they can vote, and remind them what's at stake. Research shows this weekend is when our calls matter most.
It's hugely ambitious but Breeze, we can do this if you can personally contact 90 voters by Tuesday night.
This is the moment we've been working towards.
Now it's all hands on deck.
Click here to tell us when you can call between now and Election Day,
then get started right away:
http://pol.moveon.org/phone/volunteer/fp.html
It sounds crazy, but I've been watching the electoral landscape shift,
and I really believe this:
The next 72 hours will decide our nation's future,
and if we can rise to the challenge, we can change history.
We've worked hard to get here. Hundreds of thousands of us have organized rallies, held vigils, signed and delivered petitions, wrote letters to the editor, pooled our hard-earned cash—
and yes, we've called a LOT of voters.
Some of us just pitched in 30 minutes starting yesterday.
For others, it's been a full-time job for months.
But together, we did what the pundits said couldn't be done— created a national wave of anger at right-wing Republicans and brought the country to the verge of a new era.
I helped plan this campaign, and honestly, I never thought we'd make it this far.
But it's not over yet, and standing between us and our future is the most effective voter turnout machine ever created—Karl Rove's 72-hour program.
We've got momentum on our side, and we can beat them.
But to do it, we need to reach 450,000 people in the closest districts,
tell them their polling place,
and remind them why this election is so important.
Click here to tell us when you'll make calls between now and the Election,
and then get started:
http://pol.moveon.org/phone/volunteer/fp.html
I don't have the words to say how blown away I am by what we've done so far.
But the real work starts tonight.
Thank you.

Just got an email saying that we've made 450,000 contacts, not just calls, but contacts!
My calling in south-eastern Virginia has depressed me. I was hung up on too many time, at least one third of my calls, and, as a result, I'm am less hopeful for Phil Kellam bid against Thelma Drake (R-crooked bitch). It looks as if the Virginia Beach area is just too red.
I'm more hopeful that Jim Webb is going to take Geo. Allen down, not positive, just hopeful.
Let's keep up the fight/calls, folks.
