A new Siena poll this morning shows Democrat Scott Murphy up by 4 points after trailing by 4 as recently as two weeks ago, with the election this coming Tuesday. For discussion of that poll, see Devtob and Paleo's previous diaries.
This diary, right here? This is a call to ACTION!
All right people, it's time to really step it up. This election will still be won on the ground. If we get our supporters out to vote, WE WILL WIN. If they don't vote, well, let's just not even think about that. Repubs have been saying all along that this race would be a referendum on President Obama's job so far (assuming that their guy with huge name recognition would crush the fresh face). Well, when we win this, we get to tell them to STFU. All right, enough chit-chat. On to business.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is running a great phonebanking tool through their website. All you need to do is log in, and you'll get a list of names to call. Then you just click a few buttons depending on the response you get and move on to the next call. Anyone can do it from the comfort of your own home. Hours for the online phonebanking are from 9:30AM and 8:00PM.
Also, I know many organizations are doing phonebanking from outside of the district and/or GOTV canvassing trips into the district. If you know of any, leave a note in the comments and I'll update the diary with their info.
