I DID IT!! I DID IT!! I DID IT!!
Yo, bragging rights here...
I was Deputized a Volunteer Deputy Registrar in mid-August, and, when I took that oath, I set a goal of registering at least 100 new voters (predominantly Democrats) Today, I have achieved my goal, a short six weeks later, I have registered 113 new voters, and the GOTV train rolls on for two more weekends!!

5. Congratulations mermaid!
You have faithfully exceeded your goal. And hey the 36 hour last weekend to register event in Travis County is yet to go. You could double your totals.

:yourock:

6. Yeah
Except that I have to work that final Monday, from 11AM till 8PM :-(

But I can do stuff on Sunday.

I'm on my way out now to a gay bar for more voter registration....and the same location tomorrow afternoon as I was at this afternoon, which yielded 15 new voters...and then next weekend, I'm doing that location both days...and a different gay bar that Saturday night.

I'm going for 150 now...I see no reason why I can't!!

And it don't stop Oct. 4, either!! After that, my weekends and spare time will be spent in phone banks, block walking, doing literally EVERYTHING IN MY LEGAL POWER to insure that Son of a Bush doesn't ge re-selected!!

That bastard's gotta go, and ANYTHING I can do to make that happen, so long as it is legal...I'm gonna do it!! The Son of a Bush must go DOWN!!!

12. You're Damn Skippy We're Gonna Win!!
Listen, guys...FUCK the polls, okay? The polls are as biased as the organizations that put them out! Listen to me, I was in marketing research for six years, and I know how easy it is to produce what is called a "push poll," one that delivers the desired results.
The polls show the race close? puh-fuckin'-leeze!! EVERY undercurrent I see points to the lie!!

Kerry is drawing RECORD CROWDS!!
Kerry is raising RECORD FUNDS!!

Just yeasterday, I was at the Travis County Democratic Party Coordinated Campaign office, and witnessed FIVE MORE people being Deputized as Voter Registrars, in spite of the fact Registration ends in only one and a half weeks!! More and more people are interested in registering voters...and more and more people are registering to vote!

We will have forty million more voters than we did in 2000!

Now, really THINK about that!!
These 40 million are not getting polled, because they are not considered "likely voters" because they didn't vote last time!

Why not? Well, 20 million of them could be young people just now old enough to vote. And the vast majority of young people are Democrats. Even so, let's say 5 million Repukes, and 15 million Democrats. That gives us a 10 million edge.

And what of the other 20 MILLION?? Now, what do YOU suppose inspires someone who has never voted before, or hasn't voted in a long time...to vote?? THEY'RE PISSED!!! They are pissed about the war, the economy, the loss of their economic stability...they are ROYALLY PISSED!! how likely are THEY to be voting Bush??

Meanwhile...what HAS Bush done to win the hearts and minds of anyon e who wasn't already gonna vote for him in the first place?? I have the answer for you: NOT A FUCKING THING!!

Bush got 25% of the gay vote in 2000...do you honestly see THAT happening again?? I don't!!
Bush has pissed off women, blacks, Hispanics, gays, minority groups of all stripes. He has nothing to run on but fear, fear and more fear!! America is TIRED OF BEING AFRAID!!

I see it in the streets, I hear it in the people I talk to when I am out registering voters! People who are already registered thank me for being out registering people...constantly!!

EVERY SINGLE undercurrent I see puts the lie to these bullshit polls, because those are put out by organizations with an agenda. Don't buy 'em, folks! The media is gonna be shitting on November 2 when THE ONLY POLL THAT REALLY MATTERS is taken!!

Again, I see the energy...I see the hope...I see the Americans ready to cast off the chains of fear...NO ONE who didn't vote Bush in 2000 is gonna vote Bush in 2004!! He has done NOTHING to win the hearts and minds of anyone that he didn't already have!

And with 40 million new voters, that spells disaster for Bush!

I'm telling you, this is gonna be HUGE!! Bush is going DOWN!!

anyone who thinks otherwise, give me a damned good reason why you think Bush could actually win, given what I have just laid out. i'm sorry, but, polls aside...EVERYTHING I am seeing is pointing to a Kerry victory...and a BIG one, at that!

13. I've heard this as well, though I'm not as plugged in as you are
Democrats are registering in droves, all over the country, outnumbering Republicans 10:1. And for Americans living overseas, they cannot keep up with the demand for those wanting to register, even among those who haven't bothered to vote for 30 years. They are mad as hell and want to take back this country! I believe you! Thanks for the encouraging words! We sure need to hear them!
:scared:
