Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aide of their country. No, Really.
It is time for you to quit whining and wringing your hands. We are a movement that needs to move. Move over to your phone right now and call your local Obama headquarters and sign up. If not now when do you plan on doing it?
You have read the diaries that there are a number of states with purged voter rolls. Start registering people even if they think they are registered. Get them to early voting if your state has it. Get to your neighbors houses and start talking to them. Call lists and canvassing lists are available on MyBarackObama.com. Neighbor to Neighbor is a great tool and will allow you to canvass in your own neighborhood.
They like her looks, they like her fire, and they like her family. I heard one football mom this weekend say, "I loved her, I say, "You go girl!" The Palin pick is firing up the Conservative Base.
"She's not a pitbull in lipstick," said one female Democratic operative, referencing a line from Palin's convention speech. "She's George Bush in lipstick."
From her hard-right stances on abortion and contraception and the deep affection she engenders from conservative evangelical leaders, to her involvement in a possible "abuse of power" scandal in Alaska and even her charming demeanor, some see in Palin the second coming of the 43rd president.
The Palin-as-Bush theme comes just in time: with less than two months before election day, Democrats have a limited window to define McCain's vice presidential pick in the eyes of voters. Her relatively sparse record, particularly on key national issues, made finding a line of attack more difficult. And the McCain campaign's efforts to paint the media coverage of Palin as sexist, and to link the Obama campaign to that coverage, only complicated matters further.
Sarah Palin is being investigated and thinks that she can claim "executive" or "deliberative process" privileges". Sound familiar? I like the rule of law. I like our Constitution, Bill of Rights and would fight to death for those ideals. How about you??
I have had more volunteers this week because she has also fired up our base. BUT WE HAVE TO GET ALL THOSE PEOPLE REGISTERED AND TO THE POLLS. I have also heard that County Clerks are being overwhelmed by the number of mail-in ballots that have been requested. They are worried that they do not have the staff to count them all in a timely fashion. Please look into your local situation and see if you need to get out the word for staffing the polling places and helping out at the election division. We do not want to have all these great drives and efforts to be a problem come time to count the votes.
We have a big job and if we don't step up we will have another election 2000. Either this is a priority or we lose. Not being a concern troll just telling it like it is.
Mebe's excellant diary shows us why we must step up our efforts to make sure that we have everyone registered. Reregister them if there is ANY question whatsoever about them being on the rolls.
Now is the time for all good men and women to "get mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore".
GET UP, GET OUT, AND GET TO WORK
YOUR SHOES SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS BY NOVEMBER 4TH.
