Nov 4, *DDO to WIN..
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 09:21 AM by SoCalDem
What if?

Democrats everywhere asked for that day off, took a vacation day, a sick day, a mental health day..

Then went to vote..and did not leave, until the votes were counted:evilgrin:

Would the massive crowds affect the republican compunction to cheat?

or would they just call the storm troopers and have everyone arrested..

or if some selected areas were targeted for a "vote-in", and the media well-notified, and briefed as to the reason..

picnic lunches, lawn chairs...flags..

can't you just see it:)

*DDO= Democrats' Day Off!

3. Verrreeeee interesting idea.
There are a lot of us anyway, who have discretionary time & could go hang out at the polls. Retired people, some college students, at least between classes, all sorts of home-based folks who can catch up on their work in the off hours (or just be available by cell phone)...

4. We have to work our strengths...
"There are a lot of us anyway, who have discretionary time & could go hang out at the polls." - A very good point, and something the pukes couldn't do nearly as easily.

7. Go, SoCal, Go!
Make a party of it! Our GOTV effort could tie in very well. A free coffee/water booth - draped in bunting, of course - and a couple of porta-lets. Support and engage all those good folks who have turned out, and are stuck in line.
Jesus fed the multitudes 'cuz its good PR and a fine motivational tool.

14. That started in 2006
Take a Day Off for Democracy

This is a historic election, and by planning ahead now you can have an incredible impact.

Let us know that you can take the day off on Election Day, November 7th.

18. But STAYING at or close by would draw media attention
and perhaps prevent another theft..
