2. I'm making sure young friends are registered to vote
Edited on Sun Oct-29-06 11:02 AM by uppityperson
have several who could vote but haven't gotten around to it yet, but still complain mightily. So, off I go. I think they can still register in person @ county office. If not, at least they will be registered for 2008.

Edited to add: First I am going online to check email and DU. then perhaps working on garden and perhaps going to Costco to get a few groceries. Doing a bit of laundry, drinking some coffee. Then checking with some young friends about voting.

12. I'm headed out for a six-hour shift of canvassing...
Edited on Sun Oct-29-06 11:04 AM by Emit
which neighborhood, I don't know yet, but I hope it's a good walk.

And, when I get home, I have another list of potential volunteers to call to finish preparing for our GOTV teams on election day -- I need about 6 to 10 more people -- Anyone know any folks in Reno?!! Hint,hint! I need phone callers and poll watchers.

15. You have earned the right to call yourself a "Good Democrat!!" WELL DONE!!!!
Knowing where you stood in that Primary, I respect the daylights out of you for working so hard for Duckworth. You have certainly earned your stripes as far as I'm concerned! (Its not like it matters what my opinion is, but I just had to tell you anyway!) :)

-----

Yesterday we were out with Labor and over in the university turf with this state senate race we've been working (did I mention that we were also invited to four different kid and family related events along with that?)

Today we are taking a deep breath prior to the final push, along with carving the obligatory Jack-O-Lantern (commonly called the "Pukin Punkin" every year by the local kids) along with generally spending family time. Kev is doing some file sorts for a GOTV mailing, I think, too...

Tomorrow we are back at work in our offices and then off to a picket in support of AFSCME in a contract dispute.

Regards!


Laura

19. Filling out my absentee ballot, and sticking it in the mailbox.
I'll be in Hawaii on vacation during the election, and completely unplugged from the world. Hopefully I will come back to a dem controlled house and senate and a lame duck president.
