I'm not too far from Atlanta.

Anyone got any phone #'s or websites?

But for giving rides, you might try unions in your area. Or nearly any minority you see, given the polling.

4. just google your local Democratic Headquarters.......
what you are asking is the single most important thing we can do right now....GET OUT THE VOTE.


You could also go onto the OBama Website and get linked up.

I spent two hours calling at my local headquarters tonight...it is ok, but the real action will be on election day!!

5. Thanks for the links everyone..
I wouldn't be any good on the phone or face to face since I'm far more fluent through my fingertips than I am with my lips, which is a fancy way of saying I'm not a good talker.

I also don't have the time to do much, but I am planning on taking election day off to volunteer.

There doesn't seem to be anything on the Obama action site in regards to providing transportation on election day though.

6. Try the Democrats site
DFA is based out of there.

http://www.democrats.org/volunteer.html

is the volunteer sign up. They are really good at getting back to people. Tell them what you are interested in doing and I am sure they can hook you up.

I've contacted the Obama campaign and the Democratic party and informed them of what I would like to do.

8. you said near Atlanta
so this may not be your county

http://fultondems.com/

but I found it by googling "fulton county democratic party"

your own county (if it is not Fulton) should have a website and a party organization and an office, if it is not too rural. They, and the local candidates, if not an Obama or DNC field office, should have a GOTV plan.
