No one is overqualified to work for John Kerry
Defeat Bush: The Guide

If George Bush is to be defeated this year, he'll be defeated on the ground. He'll be defeated because we want it more than they want it. He'll be defeated because we swallow our fantasies of a candidate who doesn't exist and recognize that John Kerry is a manifestly superior positive choice. And he'll be defeated not just because we vote for Kerry, but because we urge cynics and undecideds to vote for him too. This work will not be easy or neat—new campaign finance rules make figuring out where to help a job in itself. But no one is overqualified for it. Don't think blue-staters like us can't make the difference in swing states. And don't forget that even in New York, pluralities count—win or lose, every vote for Kerry makes us feel better and Bush look worse. There are still two or three weeks to register voters, and there's plenty of follow-up to do in October. Examine the options outlined below and decide how you might best donate your time. Then tell your friends to do the same.

4. And Sometimes someone else kicks them

Can you make phone calls? File? Compose and print a document? Stuff envelopes? Plant signs in the good earth?

There are many things to do in a Campaign. Call your local Dem headquarters ( The one I will volunteer for opens tomorrow - check dates in your county) and they will have a way you can help.

Good thread!!!Good Village Voice!!!

3. Cool

I hope you have a good experience volunteering. I have a couple times this year and had a great time both times. I filled out a form on the ACT site to travel to a swing state and volunteer (I checked all of the states as possibilities; I want to work wherever I'm needed!) a couple days ago. I still haven't gotten a response, so I e-mailed them again. I'm not sure if I'm just being impatient but I'm kind of anxious to get out of this red state and work somewhere that I can make a difference in the Presidential election. Hopefully they'll get back to me soon enough.

Oh, and interesting article...
