In a few short weeks we will be in full blown campaign season. Some of you have had your primaries others are still waiting to see who your candidate will be for the fall.
It is imperative that we have a strong voter turnout in November. The pundits have written us off and already crowned the Republicans big winners this November. Fortunately for us pundits don't get to decide our leaders We The People do.
Kossacks we can begin this campaign by doing every thing possible to make sure that candidates in our local areas are highlighted. Practically no one is "safe" this year so whatever assistance that you can give to your local campaigns are fundamental.
Find your local Representative Here Make sure you are on their mailing list. Call their local office and ask what you can do to help get your Democratic Rep. elected this year.
Not everyone is big into making calls or knocking on doors so here is an idea. Make sure that everyone that you know that voted in 2008 pledges to do so in November.
Everyday forward this pledge link to 10 people in you email addressbook.
Its a simple task that can have a great impact. Along with the pledge to vote request attach the Raise Your Vote Link https://www.raiseyourvote.com/. Practically everyone knows someone who graduated from High School this year. Lets get those young people registered and you can make it easy by providing this link to your friends.
Write them a quick note with your email pledge request asking them to contact you if they have any questions. You will be surprised how many people will respond over time.
Each-One-Teach-One and this Fall we will leave the naysayers and negative pundits scratching their collective heads.
I do not work for OFA. I am just a volunteer who is sharing small ways to do everything possible to make sure the Repubs do not re-take Congress next year
