What Can I Do To Make Sure the Dems Win in November? |
|
What can I do besides vote? I have a crappy car and not much $$$ to contribute but I have a phone and a computer. I've talked to friends and co workers but feel like I need to do more. SO MUCH at stake, I feel helpless. Any suggestions?

1. Talk to as many young people as you can about voting. |

They are not the most reliable voters to start with and in off year elections they vote in really small numbers. I have a list of 12 under 25 yr olds who voted for Obama and although they have all assured me they will vote I will be tracking them up til election day. We have a house seat in this district that is going to be razor thin. These young people will all vote for the Democrat if I can keep them motivated to take the time to vote.

I'll do my best. I wish some artists and actors and musicians would make some PSA's to get out and vote like they did in 2008. Seems like it's the only way to reach some of the younger kids. I heard that the Stewart/Colbert rally may energize the younger people who voted for Obama in 2008. I sure hope so! Thanks!

Canvass, make calls, drive people to the polls, write LTTEs--any and all of it is good stuff.
