Look, I've knocked 15K doors in Indiana. No one thought it was achievable. I'm The Mad Canvasser" ... we were (arguably) left for dead in this state, and yet - it's blue now, on the election results pages. We're still crying, we can't believe it ... but ...
Now is the time to phonebank for Martin. The reason is Roe and our constitution, not to mention the majority that Dem.s need. Saxby Chambliss was elected ... by catering to the fear that the Republican party has always exploited. Here's what you can do:
This is a direct quote from a co. chair in GA:
Yesterday the Martin campaign reached out to us and expressed the campaign's and Jim's appreciation for what you are all doing. By way of update, the Martin campaign will shortly be providing additional resources for our effort to plug in new phonebankers to call additional targets here in Georgia. In the interim, we have plenty of voters to call that have already been targeted by the Campaign for Change.
I also wanted to make sure that all of you were aware http://MyBarackObama.com now has a phonebanking tool for Jim Martin available and operational. Please spread the word about this tool, as it will be the fastest way for people to get plugged back in to the phonebanking efforts.
Finally, I wanted to share with you what's happening with the race here in Georgia. The television ads and radio ads against Jim Martin are bombing the public airways. Despicable ads to which we have unfortunately grown too accustomed here in Georgia. (Ads paid for by Rep. Sen. Committee, the Chambliss campaign, and a host of outside groups who are frankly pouring gasoline on the everburning culture war embers.)
The good news is that our field operation can and will make the difference. This election will be won by the team that gets its voters' votes in the box. The Republican party has ramped up its absentee ballot effort, mailing an absentee ballot request postcard to all of its mailing list. Hopefully a lot of those went in the trash. But that's what we are up against. We will win this election if we can remind our voters that we have one more election to go here in Georgia.
Your efforts are an integral part of this fight. Please forward this e-mail to 10 progressives you know. This one is within our reach. We just have to reach for it.
