GOTV is hard work, both physically and mentally. You are asked to walk through oftentimes unfamiliar neighborhoods, trying to connect with perfect strangers. There are barking dogs, apathetic people, skeptics, and every once in a while a slammed door courtesy of a worked up tea partier. What's more, there are demands of being on your feet for hours in the sun, wind or rain. And when you meet someone ready to listen you must -- and there's no better way to put it -- make the sell. The direct ask is difficult for many. Rejection can be hard. However, we must overcome. The WI Senate District 8 recall election between Alberta Darling and Sandy Pasch is too important, too close, and your work is too necessary to leave it to others. Be a difference maker. Work GOTV.

Everyone from WI that cares about the direction Walker is taking our state needs to help get out the vote in one of the recall districts. Here in SD8 there are a number ways to help : the Pasch campaign and We Are Wisconsin are both running regular canvasses. But if grassroots is more your style, join us! We will be working key Milwaukee wards Aug 6-9. The election may be decided by Milwaukee turnout, and will definitely be won or lost on the ground. Work GOTV! Here's why:

Yesterday on Kos there was a new new PPP poll for the WI recall election in Senate District 8 between Republican Alberta Darling and Democrat Sandy Pasch. It has Darling up 5 points with almost no undecideds. Since a recent Dem poll had Sandy up one, this is a disappointment. At least at first glance. However, a closer look reveals the same concerns that were raised with the previous PPP poll in SD 8. It appears that this poll also under-represents the strongest Pasch voters in the district: non-whites from the City of Milwaukee.
