This diary is written by pdnc and onomastic.
We're holding a GOTV Blogathon next week, October 23-26, commencing the day after the final Presidential Debates to carry the energy forward through Election Day. Our guests include lawmakers, candidates, union leaders and political activists. We will be posting a diary tonight to announce our guests! shanikka will be posting a diary Monday afternoon before debate.
Onomastic and I are working on creating a list of links to candidate websites in close races that offer online phone banking. Then, kossacks in New York, for example, who don't live near a close race, can do online phone banking for close races in Florida or Ohio. We want to include a template of links for phonebanking targeted at close races in the diaries posted by our guests or in the comment threads so that each day kossacks with spare time will see!
Of course, we include phone banking for President Obama.
DRA Dialer is set up for supporting progressive candidates from your home.
But only found a few links so far for Senate:
Volunteer for Senate candidates:
Elizabeth Warren - Massachusetts (You need to register at her website with name, email address, and password. After you register, you can make phone calls for her from out-of-state, similar to President Obama phone banking set up. ); Tim Kaine - Virginia;
And a few links for close races in the House:
Patrick Murphy - Florida; Lois Frankel - Florida
Now we know kossacks come from all over so we've included a handy list from the
DCCC's Red to Blue campaign to take back the House.
Any assistance with providing phonebanking links for these great candidates is greatly appreciated!
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and others have been tirelessly working to get out the vote for The Drive to 25 Campaign to turn red seats blue return and return Democratic control to the House.
Red to Blue 2012
The DCCC's Red to Blue program highlights top Democratic campaigns across the country, and offers them financial, communications, grassroots, and strategic support.
This link provides a list with hyperlinks for each race to the candidate's campaign site. Please peruse the list and see if there is a race you can help by checking the candidate's website to see if he or she provides online phone banking, and posting the link to phone banking in the comments.
