Here's a quick and easy way to help Obama win.

Democracy for America (Howard Dean's organization) has a weblink (above) to help get out the vote for Obama.

You fill out a short form and enter at least three e-mails of friends and colleagues you'd like to commit to Obama. They get a message to plege to find three others who will pledge, etc. etc.

It's a massive "phone tree" except using e-mail.

You then will get a "tracking page" so you can see who has pledged and who hasn't.

This is a well set-up program, it's self-explanatory, and it only takes a few minutes.

It can make a difference. Try it!

I got my three pledges in one day. And DFA will send you a bumpersticker, "I voted for Obama." How cool is that?

2. What a bunch of keyboard jockies . . . if just one in a hundred on this site

actually did something instead preached to the choir, we might actually get something accomplished.

3. My friends and colleagues have committed and are talking to all sorts of people already

kick anyways

4. Thanks, but this is something else you can do that doesn't interfere with

anything else you're doing.

5. I must be misunderstanding it.

What am I pledging to do, besides vote? Somehow find 3 people who need rides and take them to the polls?

Just call me confused.

6. People are much more likely to vote if they know that their friends and

neighbors are voting too and care about whether they voted or not.

The idea is that you get three people to commit to vote for Obama and vote early.

Voting early has a whale of a lot of benefits for ourside too.

I didn't see this post until today, when it was referenced in another thread.
