I worked for several hours with moveon and many of the numbers were for the Virginia races. I remember one man who was depressed about the state of his country and very skeptical about voting for the same old Democratic party. I agreed and told him about my family and how I was also very worried for my family's future.
I listened to him for several minutes more then I pumped him up about the progressives running all the committees especially Conyers running Judicial if we win back the House and encouraged him to vote Democratic in the Senate race because we have to get our spending/borrowing in line. In the end he was excited about the prospects for a change and said:
"What we need in this country is a regular guy like me or you to be President to fix this country and get people to believe in politics again.".
I told him that is why I was making these calls because regular people need to be involved and take this country back. After the call was over I quickly moved to the next number on my computer screen but felt reenergized by what he said, that we were taking it back, one vote at a time.
Thanks moveon for the opportunity to do this!
