The GOP is ready with the dirtiest ads yet, and you know McCain's campaign has raised some solid money from their fundamentalist base tonight.
Let's get a Obama/Biden '08 money bomb thread going.
DONATE TO OBAMA/BIDEN IN HONOR OF TONIGHT's DEBATE
Also, feel free to post your own fundraising page links from my.barackobama.com in the comments section.
Let's keep at least one money bomb thread on the reclist for all of tonight.
(If you've maxed out, please donate to the DNC.)
We have just a few days to register new voters before the October 6th voter registration deadline in critical states like Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
Let's make this final push for the last month.
Take a chance on something you might not have otherwise.
Obama has inspired the next generation - let's do our part to pass on a better country to them. Please sign up for something, and let everyone else what you've found worked well and what didn't.
Remember, there are some things that make the Obama campaign truly different:
There are two other breakthroughs that have just come to maturity in the United States that were not inevitable, that required a perfect storm of factors - and the right catalyst or leader at the right time - in confluence.
The first is that the Obama campaign is the first mass multi-racial collaboration in the United States since the Southern Civil Rights movement.
For many of the millions that volunteered, donated and attended campaign events, this was the first time they worked hand in hand with people that did not look like them.
...
The second breakthrough is that a critical mass of progressive Americans are learning political discipline again: the disciplines that had been carried like rare seeds through a decades-long desert by the few and the proud that had continued the study and practice of community organizing.
The Field: No More Drama

Different ways you can get involved.
- Register voters in your neighborhood. There are plenty of events in almost every corner of this country. It's really simple: just click on your state and sign up. In addition, can also pass on this voter registration link to your friends to help them get registered from the ease of their home.
You can register voters at naturalization ceremonies, grocery stores, local colleges and high schools, malls, courthouses, apartment buildings, etc.
- Make phone calls to locate new volunteers.
There are plenty of folks on the rolls that would happily volunteer in their local neighborhood, but haven't been asked yet. You can complete that last step by making the call.
- Pass on basic information about Obama. You can get flyers about Obama at the official resource center. (Here are a few flyers I made on the economy, taxes, Iraq, etc. as well.) Also, pass on the Obama Blueprint for Change.
You and I know both know the media is going to do its best to focus on process stories and never focus on the issues; they're not going to inform the public on what Obama wants to do. We have to do it ourselves.
- Set up a personal fundraising page. Then contact your friends and family and ask them to join the campaign, even it's with only $5 a piece.
