Don't be Nervous (GOTV); Don't Freak! (GOTV) Don't Worry! (GOTV)
I can guarentee you a worry-free, stress-free, freak-free November 2nd!

No Stress Election Day!
-----------------------
All you have to do is be so busy that you can't worry, freak, or be nervous.....it is called GET OUT THE VOTE!!! If you are busy canvassing to get people to vote, calling on the phone to get people to vote, driving people to the polls, monitoring the polling stations, then you will NOT HAVE TIME TO WORRY, FRET, FREAK, or IMPLODE!!!! Have you ever noticed how hard it is to worry when you are busy with many things?? Get busy with GOTV!!!!

Better/More Interesting DU Posts
--------------------------------
On top of that you will be able to post much better and more interesting topics to the board when you get home at 8-9pm!!!! Real Stories!, Real Activity!, Truer poll reports!!! And you will rest knowing YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING to end this BushCo Hell!

Working with Compatriots
------------------------
The Dems are not going to be spending any time calling/contacting people on the 'other side'....they are just going to contact those that they now know will be voting for Kerry!!! These are your friends and compatriots!!! No doors slammed in your face, no nasty looks...just trying to get Kerry supporters to the polls, and making sure they voted!

Why does Kerry need your help?
------------------------------
Last night i attended a local GOTV meeting for the Kerry Campaign in southern Colorado....Do you realize we have the numbers to win Colorado?! Colorado was 9 % behind a couple months ago!!! IT is a Puke Stronghold!!!! But now we will win if we GOTV!!! But we need to make sure that in Colorado at least 71% of the Dems actually vote Kerry, and 61% of the undecideds to vote Kerry...we KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE!!!...but these goals cannot be reached if WE DO NOT GET THEM TO THE POLLS!!!

the SoColo Kerry person said that if we had enough people, to work the GOTV efforts WE WILL WIN!!!!! Did you read that correctly??!! YES! if we get out the vote....WE WILL WIN! WE WILL WIN COLORADO!!! (What about your state?) What are YOU going to do to help the GOTV???? Now more than ever is when we need you!!!

What can you do??
-----------------
You can visit the following sites that have various GOTV Efforts and Volunteer:

www.JohnKerry.com
www.moveon.org
www.actforvictory.org - America Coming Together
www.truemajority.org - From the ice cream guy
www.mob.org - Mothers Opposing Bush
www.electionprotection2004.org/

There are places on the net that will give you voter numbers to call and make sure they vote...all from the comfort of your home! There are very few people who really can't do anything....

Worst case: Buy a pack of donuts and drop them off at the Dem HQ near you....

I cannot emphasize this enough VOLTUNEER...if we get Kerry supporters to the polls WE WILL WIN....time to get off your Keyboard and MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

please keep this kicked, and please add other "What you can do" info....Democracy without participation is dead!

MODERATORS - Please consider tacking this to the top of the page...we should have one place to go for info on how to GOTV, like we do for DU Polls after the debates...If everyone does something, even the smallest thing, we will win, and we can rest on Nov 2 knowing we did all we could. Thanks for the consideration.

1. Couldn't agree more!
Every headquarters in every county in Tennessee NEEDS YOUR HELP!

There are at least 10 different things you can be doing between now and election day to help Kerry win a sneak attack victory in Tennessee. Zogby has us within 2 points according to his last poll. We will win this state if we GOTV!

Every Headquarters in the state is looking for people to do the following:

1. Poll Watching
2. Phone Banking (calling Kerry supporters!)
3. Voter Transportation
4. Greeters at polling locations
5. Last minute weekend Canvassing

You CAN, and MUST give up a day or two, or at least a few hours each evening over the next 4 days to get these things done!

Tennessee will be a win for Kerry and YOU will have helped make it possible!

2. You're so right
More help is needed...I think I have everything covered here but...one person not showing up can really put us in a bind...All this past week I kept thinking just get through till the polls close on Tuesday evning....and everything will be fine...now the radio station wants one of us to be on hand when the returns begin to come in...Our Chairman wants me to cover this...I am not sure....I know how tired I will be...and not really sure I can do it justice...the Republican camp is sending someone too....I predicted a long time ago Kerry will carry our County and the State...If he dosen't....well I sure don't want to have to eat crow with everyone listening....
