Pick Up That Phone

I got these two emails today. They say they still need and want help. Think how good you'll feel if you put in a few hours for this historic campaign. Yeah, you get bragging rights, too. The Gore link puts you in touch with your closest campaign office, where they have phone banks. The True Majority trains you to do it from home, on Wednesday.

Dear
Elect Barack Obama

Sign up to make calls Wednesday to voters in North Dakota.





Talk about a history-making election -- how about turning North Dakota blue for the first time in *forty-four years*?

In a last-minute surprise, Obama and McCain are within single digits of each other there, with plenty of folks still undecided. And over 25% of the state is under the age of 30 - young voters who will support Sen. Obama if they get a reminder from YOU.

The Obama campaign pulled out of North Dakota weeks ago to focus on other states, but independent volunteers have soldiered on. Now if we can help pick up the slack a once-in-a-generation opportunity is within reach.

Join me and take two hours this Wednesday, October 29th, to talk to voters in the new swing state of North Dakota about why we need to elect Sen. Obama.

We'll begin with a quick training call at 6 PM Eastern if you're in the Eastern half of the country and 5:30 PM Pacific if you're in the West. Then, we'll start talking to these voters about Sen. Obama's plan to expand health care and restore the economy.

We're using a computer program that gets rid of most of the bad numbers so we can maximize the amount of time you spend actually talking to voters. All you need to do is sign up right now, and be ready Wednesday, October 29th, with a phone and computer.

Thanks for all you're doing,

-Matt

Dear MoveOn member,

I know something about what can happen in close elections. And we've only got 8 days left to make sure this isn't one of them.

We are witnessing history in the making. Millions of young people are getting involved in politics for the first time. A leader named Barack Obama is rising up to unite America behind his vision of progressive change. Yet we know from 2000 that progress is not inevitable. Victory can fall just out of reach. And the difference of a few thousand votes can put our country on a decidedly different path.

That's why I'm writing to you today to personally ask you to volunteer with the Obama campaign to help get out the vote this week. Everything we've worked for together hangs in the balance in these next few days. The Obama office in Silverdale still needs more volunteers and I'm hoping you can help. Click here to sign up:



I know that MoveOn members have the power to swing elections. In 2006, you made over 7 million calls—I made some myself—and together we won back both houses of Congress. And already this year, nearly 120,000 of you have signed up to volunteer for Obama in battleground states.

But the stakes this year are too great for any of us to sit it out.  We're facing two wars and an economic meltdown. The climate crisis, in particular, is worsening more quickly than predicted and without strong leadership from the next president, we could face consequences right out of a science fiction movie.

Barack Obama will provide that leadership. But only if we all make sure he wins. Please sign up to volunteer today.



Yes we can,

Al Gore
