What are YOU going to do for Democrats over the next 24 hours?

[brainshrub]

Other than voting, what are YOU going to do for Democrats over the next 24 hours?

Phone calls? Canvasing? Blogging? Helping people get to the polls? Poll watcher?

1. Right now I'm waiting for a phone call for this afternoon's assigment.

Probably canvassing. If I didn't have to work tomorrow I'd do poll-watching like in '04. While I'm waiting I'm making a few last-minute on-line donations. If you don't have time to volunteer and you have a few bucks to spend, at least send money. It isn't too late for that.

2. hand out "cheat sheets"

I've printed up some cheat sheets for my area and am offering them to coworkers and friends who I know share my values and beliefs. I've found that sometimes people don't vote because they don't know who all the judges and minor offices are, or don't know enough about the referenda. It can kinda intimidate them, so a cheat sheet can be really helpful.

3. Poll Worker

That way I can watch from within the 75 ft barrier.

[babylonsister]

13. What 75 ft. barrier? Who's that for? nt

[lady lib]

17. The law may be different in Texas, but in AZ

there is a 75 ft limit from the entrance of the polling place that restricts anyone who is not voting, i.e., petition circulators, campaign workers, candidates, news media, etc.

[babylonsister]

18. Ahh, gotcha. We have a 100' distance for people who

want to 'electioneer'.

[lonehalf]

22. In Georgia its 25 ft for exit polls, etc. 150 ft for campaigners.

Media can come into the polls but the only thing they can ask poll workers is how many has voted there.

They have to be 25 feet from the door to talk to voters.

[lonehalf]

23. Nothing - I'm a poll worker. n/t

[lady lib]

28. Oops, just one little correction, babylonsister...

I just got back from setting up for the election and while I was there discovered that there ARE some poll watchers who are allowed inside the polling station. I was too busy with my paperwork to get the details, so I don't know what steps you need to go through to become one of those poll watchers. I do know there's a form that needs to be filled out (of course :)).

[babylonsister]

29. Thanks, lady lib. We're allowed in in this state, and I have all

ze papers! :-)

4. Nothing ... I admit it ...

Whatever plans I may have had died when my car did.
If I were a religious person I would pray. Instead I just sit here and sweat like most of you all :)

[sui generis]

5. I was the pretend troll who clicked Nothing

in the interest of an honest answer.

However for early voting last week I picked up my ancient neighbors at their request (96 & 98 years old) to take them down to the sub-courthouse to vote. Plus I voted instead of just typing about it, but it was hard this time.

The early polls closed at 5:00 each day last week and SO and I have a combined 130 mile daily commute, and very long workdays.

Oh plus, about 3 or 4000 posts on the topic.

6. Unfortunately, my involvement in this election cycle is over

I have to work today, an appointment this eventing and have to kick on a new project tomorrow.
I was signed up to watch the polls on Election Day but my manager nixed my moving the project kick off to another day.

[ticapnews]

7. Phone banking, canvassing, poll watching

and then collecting the tally from our town clerk at the end of the night and reporting it back to HQ.

Then the victory party! :)

[Cosmocat]

8. Our polling precinct...

was just broken up, putting a new polling station at the retirement home at the end of development ... So, everyone in our precinct has to drive up our lone entrance and main drag to get to our poling place ...

I put signs up twice at the front of the development at the main road, but they were stolen both times ... I held back enough to put a load of them up election day in case ... I have five or more signs for Rendall, Casey and all our local candidates, and I will put them up at 7 tommorrow morning, at the front and at the poling site ... At this point, no repuke signs are up, either ...

I previously had done GOTV calls and canvasing/lit drops in our and the adjoining development ... I would work tomorrow, but had an unavoidable work trip taking me out of town at noon ...

[bluethruandthru]

9. I was called by Move On and asked to phone voters.

I was surprised to get the call..but readily agreed. I'm trying to take tomorrow off in order to devote more time to the cause. I've never done it before..but I'll do my best!

[LiberalEsto]

10. dragging my sick ass to the polls

and voting, even though this blasted cold/cough has kept me from making calls, etc.

[Itchinjim]

11. Canvasing.

I took the day off work tomorrow to help out.

[Wickerman]

12. election judge

making certain the DFL (democrats in Minn) are represented locally. Standby this year, didn't get trained early enough so may have to sit this one out but ready to serve if needed.

[Renew Deal]

14. No one voted for Blogging.

:rofl: Liars

[brainshrub]

20. Not as many hard-core bloggers as you'd think on DU.

Unless you count "posting on DU" as blogging, there aren't that many bloggers (proportionaly) as DU as there are on Kos or TPM Cafe.

I suppose I could have voted "blogging" since I'll be live-blogging from a gathering in Asheville tomorrow night.

[slackmaster]

15. Taking two transportation-challenged people to the polls

I'll of course be voting, and will bring along a good digital camera in case some bizarre malfunction of voting equipment manifests itself.

[wellstone dem]

16. doorknocked all weekend, and will do whatever they tell me tonight.

19. standing on a street corner in the rain

jumping up and down holding a sign and waving to oncoming traffic.

[Totally Committed]

21. Also.... drive people to the polls tomorrow!

Especially in places where the weather is inclement or if there is an old-folks' facility nearby, you might want to call your local headquarters or the old-folks' facility and see if there are voters there who need a lift to the polls. That just takes a few hours of your time, and is an enormous help for those who might not be able to get to the polls, otherwise.

24. Working as an election judge in MD

and hoping those bloody poll-books work better than they did during the primary!

[Sensitivity]

25. Working on mayoral race

[DemBones DemBones]

26. Don't you think VOTING should have been one of the choices?

:shrug:

If Dems don't vote, the blogging, phone banking, etc., is all for naught.

[cobaindrain]

27. voting for them
