I'm issuing a challenge to all of you.
The challenge is for each of you to make 537 GOTV telephone calls for Obama, between Sunday October 28th and Monday November 5th. That's 9 days.
In order for me to hit my quota of 537 calls, I'll have to make 60 calls per day.
I expect each call to average 1 minute in duration. Some much less, some much more. I'm allocating 1 hour per day.
If I miss a day, I have to make it up the next day. I've worked out a deal with my wife where I'll do half an hour during my lunch break and then another half an hour at the end of the day while she does dinner and homework with the kids. Her plan is do a half an hour before work in the morning, while I get the kids off to school, and another half an hour during her lunch break. We both have full time jobs.
If just 1,863 of us Kossacks can each deliver 537 GOTV telephone calls, in the next 9 days, that's a million calls for Obama!
So, why 537 calls as opposed to some other number?
Go below the squiggleydothingy to find out...
All you need to do is watch this brilliant short video from OFA to understand clearly why this number is so important. In fact, it's one of the most important numbers in the history of this country.
I promise you, your fear will melt away within your first five calls. Also, you won't have to talk to any Romney voters. The purpose of the calls is to get our people to the polls. As a result, the calls are easy and fun. After you make your first five calls and the fear goes away, I want you to get fired up.
I want you to get fired up about the fact that you are making a difference. You are making a difference for all of us who don't want to lose Obamacare or Medicare. You are making a difference for all of us who may not always have enough to eat or a place to live. You are making a difference for those of us who are looking for a job. You are making a difference for everyone who does not want to see another war in the next four years. You are making a difference for all of us who want to make sure that our kids have a shot at the American dream. It's that important. Join us and earn your 537 Call Achievement Badge.

It's time to saddle up and get this done.
Update: 10/27/12 @ 3:23 pm - One of the comments below mentions that Moveon.org also has a calling system and campaign to get lots of calls in during this last week or so. Here is the link: http://pol.moveon.org/...
