Folks, polls don't close in Alaska until 8PM local time - that's 11PM 9PM in California and 2AM 12AM on the East Coast! So after you've cast votes and done GOTV for your own state, you still have time to make a huge difference in Alaska.
Sarah Palin's chosen candidate, Joe Miller, is in deep, deep trouble. Rocked by scandal, Miller is caught up in a vicious dogfight with Republican write-in candidate Lisa Murkowski and is actually trailing third in the race.
Unbelievably, this leaves Democratic candidate Scott McAdams with a one point lead in this three-way race.
We've been given an incredible opportunity to actually gain a seat for the Democrats in the Senate. Many voters are still undecided whether or not to vote for Murkowski, but I can tell you from talking to them myself, that they quickly change their minds when they realize McAdams can actually win.
Follow me below to find out how you can help. All you need is a computer and a phone.
Here is what you need to do.
Go to www.myactivate.com
Login to the activate system
Login: mcadams_vol1 (Same for all users)
Pass: scott2010
Enter YOUR phone number into the field and hit "Login"
You will be called by the activate system, pickup the phone and listen to the prompt. On your computer screen, you'll see the name of the voter, their polling place and a brief script.
When the phone beeps, you have been connected to a voter. Start speaking immediately. Do not wait for the other person to speak first. It will feel a little weird at first, but you'll quickly get the hang of it.
When you're done speaking to the voter, DO NOT HANG UP. Enter the results as prompted on your computer.
When you're done, the system will automatically call another voter for you. Again, DO NOT HANG UP. Sometimes it takes a few moments for them to connect you. Just wait for the next beep and the next vote.
That's it!!!! This a predictive calling system - no hangups, no wrong numbers, just lots and lots of voters. You won't believe how productive your phone banking experience will be!
UPDATE!
If using a predictive dialing system is a little odd for you, OFA also has a link you can use to make calls through a more "traditional" format. Go to this link to get started: https://call.barackobama.com/...
UPDATE #2
Folks, we're already making a difference! Since I put this out to my own lists an hour ago, I've gotten reports back from volunteers who said they either convinced voters to cast a ballot for McAdams instead of writing in Murkowski, or who who persuaded them to go to the polls once they heard McAdams had a fighting change.
Three words for ya.
YES WE CAN!
UPDATE #3
If you haven't rec'd this diary yet, please do so. We're slipping on the rec list, and we'd like to keep it up there until the polls close at 12AM Eastern
