It appears that the Obama Team could use help on two fronts in Puerto Rico.
Let's keep the delegate count close to the curb.
I know it's late in the game, but it's a pretty tight race and Barack and Michelle went down there for more than just Mai Tais.
So ready, set, help out!
This just came into Puerto Rico for Obama Members --
1.) If you speak Spanish, The Obama Campaign could strongly use more bilingual support in making calls:
We need Spanish speaking volunteers to call voters in Puerto Rico.
Contact Benjamin Bates, (Team Deliver Puerto Rico for Obama) for call lists and script: 415-533-2570
6 days until the Primary. The audience is friendly and receptive. The Press has been kind to Barack Obama, while critical of Clinton's "unrealistic" promise to offer Statehood to Puerto Rico.
To make inexpensive, international calls, many have used skype with good results. The best plan is reported to be 1 month @ $2.99.
2.) Like all of the other primaries, on the ground assistance is needed:
We need your help with lodging, rental cars, gift cards to support our ground game in Puerto Rico, especially in Districts 3-7, currently called Hillary Country!
This is because for the most part we have been MIA!
Help us cover the island. A bad showing could have consequences at the Convention and in November... let's set the stage for a victory with Spanish speakers (in the General Election).
Call Christine Potthast Rainer, if you can help:
713-984-1699!
As always, thanks to the Kos for its excellent assistance, translating the Netroots into the grassroots, and the grassroots into votes!
Si Se Puede!
