A Call to Arms
Look everyone. Personally I've been addressing a dilemma. I honestly like Dean the most, but I believe that Clark is the best shot at winning. That said, I am still doing all I can for Dean, but if Clark wins I'm with him. I'm also letting people know about Clark at the same time. I'd like to see a Clark/Dean ticket. We need a southern state or two to win this think and Clark is the best chance to win Louisiana and Arkansas and Florida. Dean has no chance in these southern states (not counting Florida).

Second, it is not going to matter who our nominee is if the Repukes get more people out there. They won KY and MS by registering 10,000 new republicans and knocking on 200,000 doors to get out the vote (with 35% turnout i hear).

I've already applied to 3 voter groups to go out and register new democrats for the summer. I have a great deal of experience with grassroots and canvassing. On my application I told them that if they sent me to a battleground state I would personally register 1000 new democrats by the election.

SO here's my call! Stop bickering about kerry, dean, clark, et al. Go to your local government office and grab voter registration cards (some states require you to sign a form and read a booklet). Go and register as many democrats as you can and tell them to VOTE! Cause if we can get 2-3% more turnout in these battleground states, we're gonna win no matter what.

If you care about getting Bush out, you will do this!

MEN AND WOMEN OF THE RED-BUT-GONNA-BE-BLUE-STATES TO ARMS! TO ARMS!

Ask me if you want more info. And if you do decided to do this let's come up with a way on DU to see how many people we register and keep track of it. E-mail me and I'll figure it out.

1. Not just battleground
Let's do it EVERYWHERE WE CAN!!! If you have no means of working in a battleground state, work at home. If your in a blue state, it just ensures that we will have that ground secure for 2004. If you're in a red state, then it will throw off the pukes becuase they will have to contest their own home states. Battleground states need no explanation. If we get them in every state, we could also use that to affect Congress' makeup, which is JUST as important as the White House.

2. Amen Brother
And if you want to know what's going on in your neck of the woods, take a look at this web site. I found it exttremely encouraging, for example, to see that my candidate is getting some pretty good financial support in my county. That' some damn fine motivation for some door-to-door walking.
