Whatever you can do, do it without ceasing.



From now on the election do whatever you have decided is your best contribution, do it without ceasing.

For some it will be to make and send more money, for some its at the local volunteer office, some on the phone.

This is the fight that we wanted.

Lose this and the next 4 years will be the most uncomfortable in your life.

Elect as many congress people as possible.

When you have a minute bring your stories here and we wil support each other.

Don't know what to do? Call the local office and ask what they need the most.

Register voters, knock on doors, phone but we can't take anything for granted.

If we win we will go a long distance of breaking the back of the Republican hegemony, in 4 years a much older party will shrink demographically while our demographics will gain significantly.

If they get in, we can kiss goodbye to any semblance of an honest election in 2016.

Snow Crash.

Hi! I'm a volunteer! I'm registering people to vote! Is everyone here registered to vote?

Yes. We're all registered.

How about so-and-so? Is so-and-so registered to vote?

So-and-so doesn't live here anymore.

Thanks! So everybody here is registered?

Yes.

May I ask if you're planning to support President Obama?

Yes, we are!

And you'll definitely vote?

Absolutely!

Would you be interested in volunteering with the Obama campaign?

We're already signed up! We'll be there Saturday!

Your advice is much better than some of the "Abandon Hope" bullshit a certain film documentarian is shopping.

We all just need to get serious, and we need to start NOW.
