What can we do to get Obama/Biden elected. |
|
First thing I am going to do, is write a letter to my local newspaper, reiterating the Obama tax cuts for the middle class.
So many people read the letters to the editor, and make their final decisions on what the people around them in the community are thinking.
If all they see are the republican letter writing campaigns, that flood so many letters to the editors it really does impact the undecided low interest, low information voter.
While many of us can use the internet to look up and dispel false rumors spread by the right wing machine, many low information voters do not. This is especially true of older voters. And trust me they turn up at the polls.
Sometimes it is the simplest things that make the biggest difference.
This is the real thing now. The election season is on. Time to get moving, this is the real deal.

4. Get involved in the campaign locally. Walk your neighborhood - |
|
reach out to everyone you can and tell them what's at stake. This will be how we win; each and every one of us doing our part. We have to do what we can to make sure young people vote as well, even if it means providing transportation to the polls.

5. Yep, talking to the neighbors is a good strategy |
|
Sometimes they have the strangest questions, and if someone they know, gives them the straight talk, it can dispel some of their disquiet. I find most people actually want to vote for Obama. They just need someone to they know to tell them, those stories they hear, are lies. It goes a LONG way.
Sometimes we assume people are getting more information than they really are. They are getting stuff, but all from one side, and they are not doing what we do on the net.

Being from Iowa, we are moving from a red state that voted bush in 2004, to a blue state that is going to put Obama in office. We are 96% white. And the reason we are going to Obama, is the community support that individuals took on to talk about Senator Obama and his policies and how his policies best reflect our needs.
