We're Almost There! All Hands On Deck for the Final Push!

If you have an hour, or a day, or a weekend you could give between now and Tuesday, the Obama campaign needs you! Go to http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/statepages and click on your state to learn where your field office is and find out how you can help. It's fun, and it's not all knocking on doors--there are MANY different ways to pitch in.



Make Calls To Battleground States
This election is far from over, and we need to make One Million Calls into swing states this week. Join us at a phonebank and bring your friends--it's fun and easy. You don't have to talk to voters if you don't want to; you can also make calls to other Obama volunteers to help organize them.

Data Entry
Your local Obama for America office needs your help with daily data entry -- this is good for people who don't like talking on the phone. Grab your laptop and drop by the field office for as much or as little time as you have.

Can you travel?
These last days of the campaign are crucial. Volunteer your time in a battleground state or your state to make sure Barack Obama is our next President. This is probably the MOST helpful thing you can do. If you can't travel, do you know someone who can?

Got a car?
Help deliver get-out-the-vote materials in your area.

Neighbor to Neighbor
Set up your own phonebank and make calls from home or in a group with your friends.

Join Mobile Obama
New Yorkers, text NY to 62262 (OBAMA) on your mobile phone to receive important updates and opportunities. (I assume this works for other states as well.)

Heart need lifting?

Best ad ever (in one poster's humble opinion). Forward to all and sundry. And get inspired.

Talking to Conservatives, Part 3

Conservatives who are voting for Obama explain why:

Donate to El Tinklenberg

El Tinklenberg is the opponent of that batshit crazy "fool for Christ" McCarthy-in-pantyhose, Michelle Bachman. Seriously, she's got to go.

A duty to shame

My friend Lorraine titles her article "Want to do something constructive with your rage?" And yes, I do think it's constructive and necessary for members of civilized society to confront and and shame the racists, thugs, and irresponsible shit-stirrers who've been pouring out of the woodwork in such alarming numbers these past several weeks.

People like this operate in a bizarre, alternate-reality echo chamber where photoshopping fried chicken and watermelon onto a picture of Obama isn't racist and turning the county assessor's office into a GOP fundraising operation isn't illegal. They need to realize the rest of the world finds their actions and attitudes both dangerous and deplorable.

By the way, Karl Rove paid the San Bernadino Republicans a personal visit just last week. Coincidence, I'm sure.

...and if you need a break from decoding scribble....

Some of the best community organizers I know work at Urban Justice Center, a fantastic nonprofit organization that serves New York City's most vulnerable residents through a combination of direct legal service, systemic advocacy, community education and political organizing. A few of these fine individuals are hosting an Obama fundraiser in Brooklyn tomorrow night to support Get Out The Vote work on election day in swing states.
