I got this as list-mail:
We'll text you on election day if there's an urgent issue where your
participation -- such as a phone call or carefully-targeted local action --
can make a big difference. Don't worry, we won't send you too many text
messages. In fact, we hope we don't have to send you text messages at all.
But it pays to be prepared, so sign up to protect the election with our
immediate response network now!
Please share this message eith everyone you know -- friends, family, and
colleagues -- who is interested in helping protect the election this
November 7th.
http://www.workingassets.com/election_protection.cfm...who decides what cell phone texts to send out, and what data sources they are using, are not disclosed. It only takes a few clicks to sign up though so what the hey.
More information on who to call if you run into problems yourself:
