Who Has Committed to Phone Bank to Walk or to Help in Your District?

[David Zephyr]

As with every election, I will be working with my long-time friends here locally to phone bank on election day to help remind voters to get to the polls. Even right up until the polls close, reminding folks coming home from work where they need to go to vote and to please do so for our Democrats.

We are down to the wire.

They have Diebold and dirty tricks.

But we have the people. Get out the Vote.

Even volunteering for anything at your local Democratic candidate's HQ is huge. Please help.

1. I walked for over a month

til my back just couldn't take it anymore! Now I'll have to move to phone banking as soon as I feel better. I don't know if we will win this or not but I have to know that I tried to actually do something besides complain about the sorry state we are in.

And don't forget putting up signs and writing letters. We shouldn't let false statements by opponents go unchallenged.

[David Zephyr]

9. Thank you, Nite Owl!

2. I have been

at the local dem office doing some phone calls to independents. We skipped our last dem club meeting and did a phone a thon instead made nearly 2000 calls through out just that day...others in my club have been putting up signs and doing literature drops...the repubs have signs up at nearly every corner...I guess no body wants them in there yards...lol...and in my area I have not seen one Blackwell sign...only a handful of dewine.

[MrCoffee]

4. I'm not working for Cantwell anymore, but that freed up time to work

for Darcy Burner, who's looking better and better to take Reichert's House seat

[David Zephyr]

14. We gotta get the House. The Senate is the gravy.

Thank you so very much for helping Burner! :toast:

[elehhhhna]

5. Poll watcher unless called as a poll worker.

[David Zephyr]

16. Poll watchers will be critical this year. Maybe more than ever before.

:toast:

[Dinger]

6. I Have. The Way I See It, My Life Depends On It,

and so do others' lives. I am committed to do all I can, and more.

[Parche]

15. you rock

You Rock teacher Dinger!!!


You are absolutely correct, our lives do depend on this November

I am trying to get the word out for Bryan Kennedy Wisconsin 5


BRYAN KENNEDY FOR CONGRESS DEFEAT SENSENBRENNER

[David Zephyr]

26. And you rock, too Parche!

Go Wisconsin! :toast:

[David Zephyr]

17. I see you are in Wisconsin. Thanks.

I like Wes Clark a lot, by the way. :toast:

[alittlelark]

7. I did it in 2004 in NM.

I can't fly there for this election, and Silicon Valley is Waaaay BLUE. We even voted against the Gropenator. I'm donating $$, not much time in this election.

Cheers to those who do it in this election!:toast:

[David Zephyr]

18. Thank you for all you do and can do!

:toast:

35. If you have time, come out to Tracy or Brentwood and

walk and or call for McNerney. There's also phone banks for him in SF. I know there's a group from the East Bay who are organizing car pools for volunteers. There may be a group in the Silicon Valley. If you are interested, send me a PM and I'll find a group in your area that is helping with his campaign. I would love to defeat Pombo.

I'm alos helping on the Charlie Brown/Doolittle race north of Sacto. That's further but it's fun to work in a district so different than my own.

[Emit]

8. Thank you so much for this reminder, David. It's huge.

As a District Coordinator who's running 4 GOTV (10 precincts and maybe more if we can get more volunteers) teams on election day, this is an important reminder.

See my desperate plea from this am: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2378579&mesg_id=2378579 Thanks DU!

[David Zephyr]

20. Here's a toast to Emit, a District Coordinator for 10 precincts!

You are a hero to me! :toast:

[Emit]

33. .

:blush:

Just doing what I can (actually, my District has 42 precincts that I'm technically responsible for, but, with my limited volunteers, we're only focusing on 10 to 15 prime locations for our GOTV -- that's why your message is so important! We can all do more if we get more volunteers between now and E-Day!)

[proud patriot]

11. ME Me meeeee

:hi: did phones last Saturday

[David Zephyr]

21. I am going to gush! I love you proud patriot!

You so rock! Thanks for phoning! :toast:

[proud patriot]

37. Blush

:yourock: :loveya:

[cally]

13. I've already walked and will continure up until the election

I'm helping out on the McNerney/Pombo race. I think we can win this one.

[David Zephyr]

24. McNerney! thanks, cally!

[sakabatou]

19. Well, since I'm away from my district...

I don't think I can really help.

[MrCoffee]

22. Are you in a district where you can support a Democrat?

Doesn't have to be yours, and doesn't have to be much. Get a bumper sticker, or a yard sign. Do a little phone banking. Every bit helps.

[David Zephyr]

28. Bumper stickers are great, MrCoffee!

:toast:

[sakabatou]

31. Well, no, not really

I don't own a car or have a yard. And I don't know anything about the race here.

[senseandsensibility]

23. me

although my husband is doing far more than me. He's out right now putting up signs for a local Dem candidate.

[David Zephyr]

25. You and the hubby rock!

:toast:

[senseandsensibility]

32. Thanks

and it feels good to contribute! I'd like to encourage everyone on DU to do what they can. The experience is energizing. I've met many like-minded peole in my community, too. :)

[cmd]

27. As soon as my gigantic cough goes away, I'll be back on the phones

I gotta get healthy first.

[MrCoffee]

29. nothing better than a coughing phone banker!!

lmao...i can picture it now.

"Hi, my name is ___, and (COUGH HACK COUGH) I'm calling on behalf of Democratic candidate (HACK COUGH BLEAAAGGHHH COUGH HACK)..."

You are temporarily excused. Bring a doctor's note and get well soon!

[David Zephyr]

30. Rest that voice and thanks for phoning.

I love phoning. Also just letting people know where they are to vote goes a long way, too. :toast:

[Marie26]

34. Me!

I felt so much better after volunteering - it's actually doing something to change this country instead of just complaining about how things are. There's so many Dem candidates running great campaigns right now, but they're usually underfunded compared to the Republican incumbents & need all the help they can get.

This link leads to Democratic volunteer opportunities in each state - http://www.democrats.org/page/content/volunteer/

[David Zephyr]

42. Thanks for the link!

It's great to get a friend to come along with you. It's contagious. Thanks Marie26!

[alfredo]

36. Doing double time. I am walking for a Dem LD candidate in

the 88th in Ky. I am also a District captain for a ballot initiative. Today I corralled two volunteers, did some internal phone banking, delivered some signs, replaced some stolen signs, then did a knock in grin to finish off a precinct.

Now I am relaxing. Tomorrow I am just going to phone bank and get ready for a big lit drop for the candidate Saturday.

[David Zephyr]

43. Alfredo corralled two volunteers!

GOTV! Thanks! :toast:

[alfredo]

49. I wish I could have gotten 20.

[BootinUp]

38. in NW Ga?

I figured it would only help the other side. lol.

[David Zephyr]

44. You'd be surprised.

Dean's 50 state strategy was panned by a lot of people. Who would have ever thought that Harold Ford, Jr. would be kicking Corker's ass in the state that wouldn't even support Al Gore? And look at McCaskill killing Talent in Missouri!

Your state gave us Jimmy Carter and Max Cleland (he won, by the way).

Georgia needs to come home again.

[BootinUp]

50. Well

I suppose I am doggin it a little but in 2004 I had to drive 40+ miles to the nearest meetup. I'll check around and see if there something nearby happening.

[mdmc]

39. Why haven't we got a local HQ yet?

There is one across the river.

[wildeyed]

40. Oh yeah.

I try to do something every week. So far this year I did a house party for the local dem party, a voter registration project, two nights of phone banking and tomorrow I will be knocking on doors.

The congressional race in NC 08, where I am, is interesting. Larry Kissel, the dem challenger is now +7 in the latest poll. Time to GOTV, ya know? :)

[David Zephyr]

45. Thanks!

You are rocking! NC is coming home. :toast:

[riderinthestorm]

41. Yup, I've been on the phones twice/week since September

for Tammy Duckworth. I'll keep on keeping for her till election day. Actually I do anything that's needed. When I get to her office, I just sit down and do whatever's put in front of me for the afternoon.

[David Zephyr]

47. Thanks!

Thanks for doing "anything that's needed". Over the many years, the folks that walk in and say 'let me know what I can do' are the sweetest.

[blm]

46. Fundraiser on Sat. Dem HQ week before election.

[David Zephyr]

48. You are so tenacious, blm.

I will be distributing yard signs this weekend. I love sinking them into the ground. :toast:
