We'll need more than money to combat hate like this. And, I think this hate may be the fuel we need to get charged up for the final fight:
In the past several hours, Dems I’ve spoken with and who’ve flooded my inbox are energized. A woman friend and Democrat who had not worked for Obama’s campaign: "I am volunteering tomorrow." An Obama organizer who was operating on fumes five months ago: "They are not getting away with this. 10 hours of call time tomorrow." A shorter read of the mood: "Let’s get it on."
The mockery went too far. They played the "Obama doesn’t love America, just himself" card, over and over and over. For people already inclined to believe that (i.e., the hardcore Republican base), the speech was a smashing success. Maybe they will work a little harder, volunteer a few more hours, dig a little deeper into their pockets. But so will partisan Dems, who are far more plugged into watching the election coverage.
So, who else here is fired up? 10 hours of call? A few miles of door knocking? Time to tell the boss you want a week off before the election for GOTV? Fired up! Ready to go!
So, here's a volunteer thread - a match for that fuel:
Volunteer sheet
Find your local HQ
Get involved in voter-to-voter work
Create or update your MyBO page
And, of course, email these links out to others who are now fired up to volunteer. Let's make them regret last night's hate!
