The tip jar in this diary will be my 25,000 comment on the Big Orange Satan. I have spent a lot time here. (Probably too much time). I would like to use this opportunity, to send out a plea to the community. Follow me below across the orange French looking thing...
If I had one thing to say it would be this. This election is close. Very close. Please do your part in pushing it toward the Blue team. The stakes could not be higher - go forward with real reform or go back to the Bush years. Going back means potentially making the 2008 economic situation look like the 1990's in comparison.
I was out knocking on doors this w/e. There was one lady who claimed that she did not vote for Obama out of protest. This is in Colorado. We need to convince these people that now is not the time to make a statement. Now is the time to make sure we have 4 more years of stability.
Volunteer. Most of the people you talk to are already leaning towards Obama. The experience is mostly pleasant. Many people will thank you for volunteering. I bring my 16 yo daughter with me and we have a great time. Before we ring the door bell, my daughter sings the opening song to the 'Book of Mormon' play. "Ding dong! Hello! My name is Becky, would you like to hear about Obama today? He has done lots of awesome things..." (her real name is not Becky). It never gets old. We have lots of fun.
So, please. Help out an old-timer. Do what you can. We need everybody to do their part.
