"Real" American values in action

My polling place was so disorganized that I went rogue and started a "telephone" chain down the line with the information that the unmarked "information" table wasn't providing. If downtown Manhattan is this chaotic, I can only imagine what PA and Ohio will be like today.

See you at the phonebank......

VOTE - and then phonebank to swing states


Vote. Then help mobilize voters in swing states.

We'll be making GOTV phone calls at the Bowery Hotel from 11 a.m. until the campaign tells us to go home tomorrow. Over the past few days, we've heard from voters in Florida that the lines are 6+ hours - some have given up in exhaustion and frustration, and our encouragement and support can make the difference. The energy and camaraderie in a room of 75+ people calling swing state voters is utterly inspirational. Every first time phonebanker has commented how much better they feel after doing it; our veteran callers are also having a great time - and there are few things that beat talking to a senior citizen in western Pennsylvania who has organized bus transportation to the polls for her retirement community.

The neighborhood has been fantastic - an anonymous supporter ordered 15 pizza from Lombardi's for us today, Think Coffee has our posters by the register.

Not to showboat, but we've made more calls this weekend than any other Manahttan phonebank. We passed our three day target in one day. Let's make this the first of two landslides.
