212 Doors today (my biggest day ever!) 51 contacts! I think I'm tired, but still inspired.....

[we can do it]

Crisp Ohio day with registration growing to a close on Tuesday the 9th, so having a home-cooked spaghetti dinner at a friend's mom's house awaiting, I decided to go all out crazy and attempt to double my average canvassing today....so after 4 and a half hours I had reached my goal...It was pretty inspiring, lots of support (though there were 3 LOONY rombots- I mean really out there) got one person registered, and had 2 more who kept forms to fill out and drop off, also lots of interest in early voting.

1. Good for you!

2. No your not tired, just recharging. Keep up the good work.

[we can do it]

12. You got it, back out tomorrow!

[CoffeeCat]

3. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....You ROCK!!

Thank you for what you are doing!

I hope you had good weather while you were canvassing. It's cold here in Iowa today, and I hope you're a bit warmer in the Buckeye State.

So, when you do this--is your goal to register people? Or are you giving them info about early voting?

Thanks for doing what you are doing. It is soooo important...especially in your state. You're at the epicenter of it all in these Presidential elections. Our state is a swing state, but Ohio really is the swingiest state, right???

Again---you rock!!

6. You're welcome. We try to identify support and educate them on early voting, registering....

we can tell them where to register (they can still register AND vote early Tuesday the 9th at board of elections, this seems to appeal to a lot of young first time voters), have them fill out registration and or absentee forms and they are taken to board of elections for them, remind them to check that they are indeed registered (with all the republican shenanigans going on) nad let them know they need 3 stamps on mail-in absentee ballots. If they seem really inspired we also ask them to volunteer.

13. I think we are still considered a swing state, but we've been leaning Obama lately

there really should be no question here IMO.

9. Ditto!

[Historic NY]

5. thanks BO needs all the help.

[we can do it]

8. I want to thank Art from Maryland for coming back to Ohio to help again.

We first met in 2004 working on the Kerry campaign - he is awesome canvasser and a really nice guy.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

10. THANK YOU! n/t

[FrenchieCat]

11. I honor your activism and actions.....

thank you for being helpful and making a difference!

[struggle4progress]

14. yippee!

[cheezmaka]

15. Great Job!

I was out today too and ended up registering 6 new voters. If every other Democrat did what you did imagine the IMPACT on the whole campaign. (the efforts of your work are greater because you're in a SWING state)

[we can do it]

17. Great job! Yes, imagine the impact if we all put in a few hours before the election.

I truly believe there are quite a few people out there who are somewhat afraid or hesitant to register without help. They seem to get inspired when someone helps them out and explains how and where to do it.

[cheezmaka]

22. Very true

[jsmirman]

16. God bless you for being out there

sure, your feet will hurt and your back will feel it, but so what.

When I worked in the Allentown area, I always used to joke that people "loved to see a white boy hustle."

I do voter reg and GOTV at high speed.

It's worth it.

[we can do it]

18. I do go pretty fast and sometimes jog along (I got caught singing today,too)

thanks for your help as well!

[jsmirman]

23. People appreciate it when they know you're busting it

just a pretty rock solid axiom.

[eridani]

24. I'm pretty impressed. In a similar amount of time, I got about half that done.

But I'm on Medicare and was never built for speed, so that will have to do.

[JackN415]

19. Good job!!!

[we can do it]

20. Good nite all, will check back in the morning. Thanks for your kindness!

[NCLefty]

25. FIRED UP!

[lebkuchen]
