What are you doing to bring in 5 voters on Election Day?

[Melissa G]

Sign pledge here if you'd like http://naacp.com/get-involved/arrive-with-5/pledge BUT JUST GET US 5 Voters!

Post your plans here On this Thread... Inspire us! I'm taking the day off to GOTV!
So far I have signed up to be a Human Billboard at a Busy Intersection During Rush hours

I'm planning on a few hours of phone banking in the middle of the Day and then back to Human Billboard in the PM...I'm trying to come up with an Eye-catching Outfit!
How 'Bout You?

1. Just went door-to-door all afternoon reminding registered Dems...

...to vote Tuesday, and offering them polling place information and rides to the polls, courtesy of our wonderful Governor and State Senate candidate.

NGU.

[Melissa G]

2. Excellent ClassWarrior! I'm sure that will get us 5! Great Work!

[applegrove]

3. You ROCK!

[Melissa G]

4. Thank you applegrove! I appreciate the kick! n/t

[Erika]

5. I've talked to all my relatives to get out and vote

Most of them agree that the U.S. is headed in all the wrong directions, and that voting Dem is their best chance.

[Melissa G]

6. Way to go Erika! Keep those phone lines working! Are you moving over to the

Friend category next?:hi: :toast:

[BluegrassDem]

10. Well I would bring 5, but there's not much to vote for

KY-06 is Democratic and Rep. Chandler is running unopposed. There's no gubernatorial nor senate races in my state. There's no ballot initiatives or amendments on the ballot that I'm aware of. In my county, all the office holders are Democratic and they're all running unopposed in the general election. The only competitive election is for county coroner. LOL It's really hard to get excited for voting where I'm located! :-(

[Melissa G]

12. Hey BluegrassDem, If you have a mobile phone with free long distance

I believe You can sign up with several groups to call Dems in other states. I think Move On is doing this...You can still get us 5!

[wildeyed]

28. Moveon Call for Change.

http://pol.moveon.org/phone/volunteer/fp.html

You can contact occasional dem voters in battleground districts from the comfort of your own home! Just 'cause you live in an uncompetitive district, doesn't mean you can't fight the good fight.

:kick:

[Melissa G]

30. Right you are, wildeyed! Thanks for the Move On link!

Use it to Bring voters to the Polls from the comfort of your own armchair!

[Erika]

11. We take the dog for a walk everyday. Our GOP neighbors

had a "Republicans for Brady" sign in their yard and we visited with them today. Brady is the democratic nominee for governor in Idaho! Remember, this is Idaho. They felt our government is headed in the wrong direction and electing dems will make a positive change and wake the GOP up.

Idaho Republicans for Grant also have a big momentum going. Grant is Dem.

[Melissa G]

13. Great News! n/t

[Generic Brad]

7. I've helped 22 people locate their polling places

And of those 22, 21 are voting a straight Democratic ticket.

[Melissa G]

9. EXCELLENT! You have definitely done your share!

:yourock:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

8. Hitting the ATM.

Can I bring 5 acquaintances?

[Melissa G]

14. Is that ATM to get Funds for Dems? If so, take as many friends as

you can find!

[Lefta Dissenter]

15. GOTV Canvassing

through Fair Wisconsin - knocking on Dem doors and dragging people to the polls on Tuesday.

We hosted a MoveOn phone bank party, and will do more phoning from home through MoveOn tomorrow, as well.

[Melissa G]

16. Good Job, Lefta! For those who don't know about Move On phone banking

Do you have a link Handy? Maybe we can duplicate your efforts!

[Earth_First]

17. In the townhouse community that I live in...

I've posted "Tuesday is Election Day" with a map to the polling place in our Election District on all of the central mailbox locations.

Simple. Nonpartisan. Effective? We'll see.

Unfortunately, I took about as much time as I could off from work for purposes of canvassing, literature, and gotv. So aside from one more phone bank list from MoveOn.org, my work for 2006 is about complete.

Tuesday we find out how well our efforts have paid off! Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated, both physically, mentally, and financially!

[Melissa G]

18. Nice to know when you feel complete! Phone banking is Good!

Thanks,Earth_First!:toast:

[ClassWarrior]

19. One more recommendation puts this on the Greatest Page...

NGU.

[Melissa G]

20. Thanks ClassWarrior! I'm thinking on Greatest we might see

some more outlandish ideas...Perhaps the Freeway Bloggers will visit the thread.. Or those who dress up Like Dubya? I'm kinda normal...waiting on those creative types to spice up the thread!

[electron_blue]

21. Going to encourage all my students to vote.

They need to be heard.

[Melissa G]

23. Travis County, Texas is doing a big Student push...

We hear they are voting 3 to 1 for Dems in Austin, Tx!:bounce::bounce::bounce: Hope the odds are as good or better where you are!

[EFerrari]

22. I need to make more calls for Bowen. And, I'm trying to get some

poll watchers out a couple of counties down - Santa Clara County looks to be having some trouble with dirty tricks and especially in the Latino precincts. (Mom got a misinfo flyer today and as far as we can tell, she got it because her last name is Hispanic.) :mad:

[Melissa G]

24. Gracias, Hermana! Keep up the fight against their nasty tricks!

We will prevail! NGU!:yourock:

[EFerrari]

26. Great thread, Melissa!

:yourock:

[Melissa G]

25. California and America Need Bowen! Any Californians out there Pls Help

with calls!

[wildeyed]

27. On election day I will drive voters to the polls

from one of the low income seniors high rises in my city.

So far this election cycle I registered voters at a busy shopping center in a dem part of town, canvassed voters door to door with the Larry Kissell Campaign, did a Moveon party, and phoned for the local democratic party. Tonight will be another phone bank. Phew!

[Melissa G]

29. Way to Go, wildeyed! May you be richly rewarded as you sit back

with your friends Tuesday night and watch race after race be won by Dems! Thanks for Helping Bring our Country Back!:yourock:

[Melissa G]

31. A Message from Congressman Conyers....

One More Day Until Victory

Sign up to volunteer for election day and help get all our supporters to the polls.





Forward this email to friends committed to a Democratic victory.


Smearing a Vietnam Veteran Senator who lost his limbs in combat.

Melissa, what is the Bush Administration going to do next? The only way to restore checks and balances is by electing a Democratic Congress. Here is what you can do to help:

First, Vote.

Second, make sure everyone in your family and your friends vote. Call them now.

Third, if you can, help us on our final drive to Get Out the Vote. To volunteer to help out today or on election day, you can e-mail [e-mail], or go to the DCCC volunteer site http://www.dccc.org/voter_turnout_fund/.

You can also contact your local Democratic Campaign to see how you can help on election day. Karl Rove just dismissed Democratic GOTV efforts as "sporadic and episodic" -- lets prove him wrong on election day.

Fourth, if you experience or see any irregularities, immediately call 1-888-DEM-VOTE (1-888-336-8683). You can also call this number to obtain information on poll locations. We're not going to sit by and let anyone steal our votes this time.

Finally, lets check out the returns together. Tomorrow on my web site http://johnconyers.com/ I will post information on how you can get breaking news on the election returns.

Thank you for your support. And please vote.

Your Friend,

John Conyers, Jr.

32. I'm bringing three

but if you include my wife and me, it will be five. Sorry, I just do not know a lot of people here being an out-of-state student and all.

[Melissa G]

33. That counts for Five! Thanks, Zodiak Ironfist! Students are a great

Democratic demographic. Be sure and wear your I Voted Sticker around campus to remind others! :toast:

[Zodiak]

41. Will do!!

Plus my Bush Wanted T-Shirt (for crimes against humanity)

[Longhorn]

34. I teach about 100 community college students

and I've been talking about the election for weeks. We've had lessons on income tax and the federal debt and deficit. We've talked about logic and fallacies, using campaign ads as examples. I don't tell them what to think but I lead them to some inevitable conclusions. Their comments are much more political than mine and they're hopping mad! So now I'm reminding them to vote!

[Melissa G]

35. Spectacular, Longhorn! Way to motivate yourself some voters!

That should be good for 5 but just in case make yourself a big 'I Voted' sticker to wear all day and ask a few folks around campus whether they have voted!
Thanks for all you do!

[dragonkeep]

36. Yesterday was spent in MoveOn's Call for Change

Tomorrow I am taking the day off and hauling any Democrat who needs a ride to the polls and calling people when I'm not driving.

Yesterday when calling for Call for Change, I had a lady tell me she wasn't interested. I had to ask her incredulously, "You're not interested in your country?". Apparently not.

[Melissa G]

37. You Rock, Dragonkeep! I may haul a few voters myself midday!

I just picked up Vote Today signs for my office property and I got my John Courage for Congress T shirt which I will be wearing with my Vote Today Human billboard outfit as I stand at 5th and Lamar... One of Austin's busiest intersections. I salute you for your transportation efforts!:patriot:

[htuttle]

38. I got a van, some duct tape, and a taser

Should be no problem bagging five. What's the limit this season?

:evilgrin:

[Melissa G]

39. LOL!!! you are talking repubs right???n/t

[htuttle]

40. Well, party affiliation will determine...

...whether I drop them off at the polls, or leave them in the van...

:D
