If you are pissed at Obama or can't stand the site of Howard Dean - this is not the diary for you. There are may other diaries to air your greivances (and many of us probably agree with you). I would just ask you kindly to find those other diaries.
There is so much work to be done!
Voter Registration.
The Obama campaign is spread far and wide through this country with Vote for Change events.
It is so simple.
Simply enter you zip code and you will find people registering voters.
But, But, But. There are no events in my neighborhood!
Easy there thunder. Create your own!
But But But. Where do I know where to go to register voters?
No problem! Grocery stores, municipal court and community parades are a good place to start. Check out this diary because I imagine there will be plenty of people with great ideas to get you started.
But But But what if there is some sort of special training I need to register voters?
Every state has different rules but here's a diary that lists every single states requirements for registering voters. Always good to check with the Secretary of State's website.
Registering voters does more than help Barack Obama. It helps the Democratic Party. When people vote - Democrats win! And even if you are pissed about FISA, registering voters gives a leg up to that progressive candidate who is running for State Rep in your area.
Money Money Money
It's tight as hell right now in this household. But we are eeking out some contributions to some local races (and a few bucks to Obama).
Early Monely Is Like Yeast - It Makes the Dough Rise! Ponying up on November 1 won't help the candidates much - unless it is to retire their campaign debt!
Electioneering
Do people know where you stand? There are some places where it is appropriate and some places that it's not. Choose your battles. But there are people out there ready to be won over. Go Do IT!
Got a room?
In addition to the Obama fellows, campaigns from local State rep races to the Presidential are going to be flying in staff from all over the place. Some New Yorker is going to Georgia and somebody from South Carolina is headed to Missouri as we speak. They need a place to stay. If you have some extra room, let the Dems know. These folks get paid shit wages for a 7 day a week job.
Take Some Time Off!!
Visit a swing state for a week. Mark November 3rd & 4th off on your calendar NOW. GOTV & flushing are going to be integral parts of a Democratic victory.
So - tell me - what did you do to elect a Democrat this week?
