A very instrumental video Anne Marie! Thanks! Prepared me for phonebanking to the States from France. Irregardless of the folk who hang up, I remain determined and am jubilant when I am positively able to enlighten an undecided voter about Obama´s policies and his aim to direct America in a progressive and productive way.
The clock is ticking and "I don´t feel no ways tired!"
CRUCIAL TO AVOID CALLING/VISITING PEOPLE SEVERAL TIMES - THEY JUST GET ANGRY! I hope the campaign is coordinating the calls/visits so this does not have a negative effect on the campaign
Make sure you get signs to put up in your yards. I see more mccain posters in peoples yards because they are giving them out for free. Raise money to by yard signs for your neighborhood and let your support be seen! people are simple minded and tend to vote for the precieved winner.
report your results people so that others wont call the same person again and make them angry. Report BACK!!.. and call more people in Arizona and New Mexico.
Come on guys less complaining and more actions. Get to work and do every thing you can to support the BO effort.
I'm sure the polls will change when canvassing, phone banking and blogging efforts help to correct the false ads and misinformation released this past week. (eg. the recent McCain "Education" ad miscontrues Obama's support for legislation to protect children from sexual predators by teaching appropriate vs. inappropriate touching to elementary kids. McCain's ad called it "comprehensive sex education for kindegardners") Our efforts will help get the facts out. Hope. Action. Change.
don't forget to stay out there with the people, remember the old time whistle stops, that even Bill Clinton used successfully. don't just campaign in Florida and California like Kerry did. we have to win, this election is crucial. peace.
A word of advice. If a caller is affimative for Obama they are no longer undecided. Do not call again. Three calls in one day angered my wife to the point of pledging to stay home on election day if it continues. Don't be overzealous.
You need to understand that in the end voting for someone is not a reward to the person or the persons supporting that person. In the end it should solely rely on the person's ideas and policy and how it will make your life better. I know it's frustrating to get three calls in one day but staying home would only hurt yourself if you indeed support Obama's policy.
way to go Anne Marie - it is young people like you who will put Obama/Biden over the top - this country desperately needs change and Obama will do it and will secure the future of our young people....
Thank you so much!!!! I've been so sad about our politics and our Canadian friends have said some terrible things about Americans it makes us want to cry. To hear something positive from a Canadian makes me so happy. I thought we were looked at as awful and it made me so sad.
Terrific job with this tool and this video. I have a question for the folks working on myBO. I am an American living abroad and I would love to help with calling (even though talking with strangers usually scares me). When I try to use Neighbor to Neighbor, I don't have a valid zip code. How can I log on?
use a zip code in the states. search the states that are tightly contested and choose a zip code from there. Try rural areas 1st before the cities because they have a great deal of BO staff already.
I'm using Neighbor to Neighbor. I wanted to canvass, but apparently, there are enough people doing it in my neighborhood. I ended up volunteering to call undecided voters, and I've found most people very receptive.
If you want to vote Palin/McCain, power to you. Differences of opinion and the ablity to express your views is part what makes America a nice place to live. I want EVERYone to do research to make sure that you are doing what's right.
I've already done my research, and I have to say with all my heart and soul, I think Obama can make the changes required to change the world and restore the soul of america for ALL people.

This is great Barack. Ask 2004 Convention manager Jack Corrigan for more ideas about grassroots organizing. Teddy Kennedy will give you his number.

God bless the volunteers, the grass-roots workers, and, yeah, the 'comnunity organizers' who Sarah Palin mocks with such derisive sarcasm.
