The President knows that. So do we. That's why we're out knocking on doors, making phone calls, writing letters to the editor, donating to keep campaign offices open and fighting for each vote. That's why this site has diary series like ObamaNightlyNews, Why I Vote For Democrats, Election Diary Rescue, and so many of you writing and working your hearts out. And that's why we're doing the Daily Kos Get Out the Vote Blogathon this week.
Joining us in this crucial effort are:
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich
Gov. Howard Dean
Governor Jennifer Granholm
Tammy Duckworth
AF-CIO President Richard Trumka
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
Congresswoman Barbara Lee
Senator Sherrod Brown
Van Jones
and more.....
Today at 4pm eastern, our own shanikka is posting an amazing diary on what refusing to give up and 13 crucial votes created - the vibrant and diverse City of East Palo
Alto.
Political economist, author, professor and Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich is joining us today at 6pm eastern.
Please join us. The future of our nation, the hopes of our people, the healing of our beautiful blued world, is in our hands.

Want to get rid of "just say no" House Republicans and give the President a Congress that actually cares about the American people? Our own peregrine kate explains how the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has it all set up so you can do just that.
Go to the DCCC volunteer page (http://www.dccc.org/page/s/volunteer) and complete a short form with your email, first name, and other optional information (last name, city, zip, state, and phone) then choose the checkbox by “Call voters from home.”
A DCCC staffer will make contact via email to explain the process and to register you.
On designated days and times, a remote phone calling system will be set up for people to access from home, anywhere in the country. During those periods, people can get numbers of voters from the DCCC and make calls on behalf of Red to Blue candidates. However, the DCCC field team makes the decisions about which candidate(s) will have calls made on their behalf during a particular session.
Procedures for remote phone banking on behalf of individual DCCC Red to Blue candidates vary considerably. Please check under each candidate’s name and district for detailed information about how to help individual candidates.
Let's rock this out and bring the election home.
For all of you - for your inspiring stories about making phone calls, knocking on doors, entering data, registering new voters, driving to crucial swing states to help GOTV - for your donations, time, caring, energy, hope and determination, for all that you do -
Much love and deepest gratitude, always.
11:31 AM PT: Update: House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi just sent out this email.
"This would be amazing:
Less than 24 hours after last night’s debate, we have the chance to set a new all-time record for grassroots support!
That’s definitely not what Mitt Romney bargained for when he walked off the stage last night.
As of 11am, we are just $212,000 away from the biggest online fundraising month we’ve ever had. Will you put us over the top?
Contribute $3 before midnight and we'll triple-match your gift.
Thanks,
Nancy"
