Why You Should Have A Sense of Urgency to VOLUNTEER NOW -----> EARLY VOTING IN STATES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chicagoexpat]

If anyone is WAITING to volunteer for things to HEAT UP in early November --

you should be aware that the REAL DEADLINE for a lot of states is not Nov. 4, the LAST day you can vote, but more like October 15, because of early voting/mail-in voting in many places.

I don't know how many states fall under this -- Oregon and Washington are 2 that come to mind

Campaign work that has to be done thru your local office (go to http://my.barackobama.com/ to find your local office):

donating other resources to the campaign (spare room for an Obama Fellow, food, office supplies, etc.)

registering voters (most states have deadlines of Oct. 4 for registering voters)

phone banks

canvassing
