1. Here is a link to today's thread

Auto likes to provide commentary but it is not necessary. Most of us just google and post.

Wilms provides us with a great list of resources as well and others often chip in with posts.

2. Wished I could help

It is a great source of news and goes a long way toward helping the movement.

Thanks to all of you for putting it together every day!

[Melissa G]

4. Hi BeFree! You can help. If you don't want to commit to a day

Just Google a topic like Election fraud or voting machines and if it is not listed already post 4 paragraphs and a link! Any time you feel like it will help.
Since Tom Delay was involved with re redistricting in Texas I always feel like news of his downfall is relevant to voting reform!:evilgrin:
You are allowed your favorites too!

Edit to say This Invitation is extended to all DU members. The person who is doing the day gets done faster and is very grateful!!!

3. I can do Sunday.

It seems to work well for my schedule.

Don't be bashful, folks.

And even if you don't post the thread, you can post an article, re-post an article, or steal an article and post it elsewhere.

[Melissa G]

Plenty of fun to go around. We need a new person to add some fresh enthusiasm!

20. Thanks DUers! the week is covered. How about some back up help

In case our trusty crew goes out of town, has their internet go down, gets tied up with a kids birthday party or any number of the things that happen to folks?
I'm happy to be back up and keep coordinating!

[Wilms]

21. And of course everyone can pitch-in any day and add to the thread.

OK? OK.

;)

[Melissa G]

22. Still Looking for a Back up Person or two?.... any takers?

Edit to say we will change again when the mods do.. It's a handy way to keep track!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

23. I'm pretty new and...

I'm not quite sure what you need but it appears it doesn't take a great deal of effort, so if you'll clue me in a bit better, I'll help out.

[Melissa G]

24. Hi Jefferson's Ghost! Thanks for the offer! I will pm you with details!

We love these new folks! Directions are in the daily thread. Anyone can help out as they have time! Go Team!

[Melissa G]

25. One easy way to Help is to vote the Daily thread up to greatest!

One click is all it takes and we need at least 5 of them every day!
Go DU! Get the News Out! Be the Media!

26. I'm giving this a K&R.

Though I'm sorry to say I can't help you, Meliisa G. :( I'm heading back down to Mississippi for 5 months of hurricane relief work, don't know how reliably I'll have access to the Internet or DU. (Which will kill me, but at least my house is still standing and my loved ones weren't washed away by tidal surge.)

Good luck--and thanks for all the good work you do! :hi:

[Melissa G]

27. Thanks intheflow! I think we are in great shape!

Foger Rox, Aunti and I will be backing up the daily folks. I am excited about all our new help with the cause!

Thank you for doing the hurricane relief work I wish I could be helping with. There is so much work that needs to be done to get our country back in shape on so many fronts..
Glad your house is still standing and your family is okay.:hi:

edit to add the wonderful Jefferson's Ghost who will also pinch hit when needed! Go Team! Let's spread the word about election reform!

[EFerrari]

29. I'd sign up but am so scattered already, I don't dare.

But, the projects I'm working should wrap up by next quarter. I will sign up then or before if these babies are put to bed. :(
