There is action you can take right now, today, that will help cement an Obama victory. Help Bob Barr get on the ballot in West Virginia (and everywhere else).
Obama wants to put this country on the right track, and this fellow McCain is doing all he can to stand in the way. But there's this other fellow, Bob Barr, who appeals to much the same set of voters as would be likely to back McCain against Obama. So by helping Barr raise his profile and GET ON THE BALLOT in key states, we help Obama beat McCain. Pure and simple.
Right this moment, Barr's biggest challenge is getting on the ballot in West Virginia. Although the Obama campaign does not seem to be putting a lot of emphasis in West Virginia, having Barr on the ballot would make that state more likely to come into play, and would force McCain to expend some of his limited resources on defending the state. More importantly, if Barr gets on the ballot in all 50 states, that gives him a psychological edge, it makes voters in Colorado and Montana and New Hampshire that much more likely to vote for Barr because they'll have a sense that he could, in some strange long shot scenario, win the whole thing.
So if you know someone in West Virginia who would like to see Obama win in 2008, tell them to find out where they can sign the petition to get Bob Barr on the ballot in West Virginia. Or get them to go out and gather signatures, there is an August 1 deadline to get the requisite number turned in. If you are in ANY state, or know someone in ANY state where Libertarians need signatures to get on the ballot -- the complete list is available here -- find out where to get that petition signed, or better yet go out and gather twenty signatures from friends and family.
And whenever you hear someone talking up McCain, throw out "well there's also Bob Barr."
