Urgent Action diaries like this should be highlighted all day and not scroll off the page!
The Mission of Daily Kos is to elect more and better Democrats, so please don't miss the chance to block Republicans from gaining another seat.
I'd like to add what I learned from experience and from a Democracy for America training session:
When you call people who are upset about getting so many calls, say:
"I'm not a pollster. I'm just looking for people who might need help getting to the polls today because it is so important (give reason such as: to save Social Security and Medicare.)"
(or something like that--my issue is workplace safety which the Democrats support and which Republicans vote against.)
The key point in GOTV is to find potential Democratic voters and help them visualize WHEN and WHERE they are going to vote. Studies show that this increases turnout.
In a close race like this, let's all GET THE VOTE OUT
