Four Letters: G O T V

[mb7588a]

When elections are in a dead heat, there's but one way to be the victor: GOTV.

Get Out The Vote. Get Out The Vote. Get Out The Vote. Get Out The Vote.

The GOP touts their "Voter Turnout Machine," and "72 Hour Plan." Well, part of that is spin, and part of it is that in a midterm election, turnout is the most important thing.

Now, our base is more fired up than it has ever been. The only way that translates into anything positive for the country is if every Democrat actually votes FOR THE DEMOCRATS. Control of the Senate, House, and a lot of Governor and legislative races depend on it!

They depend on YOU, YOU doing the work it takes.

So get off your chair - MAKE PHONE CALLS, KNOCK ON DOORS, DROP LITERATURE, STAND ON A CORNER WITH A SIGN.

For the love of Democracy, get off your chair.

Personally, I am taking 4 days off of work, catching a plane to a hot race, and knocking on doors all day every day. If you can't get to a place where you are needed, contact a campaign that interests you, and ask what you can do from where you are. Don't give up asking until you are given a task.

If you stay in your chair, and do nothing for GOTV, you mock the very precepts under which this country was founded.



Let's get this on the front page, so everyone goes out to help.

2. IT IS ALL UP TO US, NOW,

even if you watched Hacking Democracy on HBO, get out there and VOTE, please. This is our duty, we have to do this, we have to get our country back, not for only us, but the world depends on it.
