Canvass Kentucky for Obama.

Fri May 09, 2008 at 08:05:06 AM PDT

OK, so we know Kentucky is an uphill battle for Barack Obama.  That doesn't mean the Obama campaign is writing off the state.  Every delegate won puts Obama one step closer to the nomination, including whatever delegates the campaign can get in Kentucky.  Below the fold, see the campaign's email to canvass and call Kentucky before May 20.

On Tuesday, Barack won a decisive victory in North Carolina and finished stronger than anyone expected in Indiana.

Right now, you can help carry our momentum forward in Kentucky.

There are only six primaries left, and this is one of the biggest. Here in the Bluegrass State, we can secure some of the final available delegates and move a big step closer to the nomination -- but we need your help.

With only 12 days to go until election day, I hope that you'll join us in Kentucky -- just as so many of you did in North Carolina and Indiana -- and go door-to-door to build our movement here.

We have thousands of potential supporters to reach, and no time to waste, so sign up to come to Kentucky and Get Out The Vote for Barack:

When you come to Kentucky, you'll see that we have a strong base of support here, with 16 Obama offices and hundreds of local volunteers working hard for Barack every day.

But in contests across the country, home-state supporters haven't done it alone -- they've relied on folks like you from nearby states to help them reach the finish line.

We'll need you one more time in Kentucky.

No prior political experience is required -- just a belief in Barack's message of change, and a willingness to spread the word one voter at a time.

Help us win as many votes and delegates as we can -- come Get Out The Vote in Kentucky:

Thank you for all that you've done,

P.S. -- Make an even bigger difference by recruiting other supporters to join us in Kentucky, too.

Our team has put together a list of supporters and volunteers who live in states near Kentucky, and you can use our simple online tool to call and encourage them to travel to Kentucky in the final days before May 20th.

Whether or not you can join us in the Bluegrass State yourself, make sure we have the grassroots support we'll need to finish strongly -- call fellow supporters from near Kentucky and recruit them to come Get Out The Vote:

Posted on the chance that not everyone on the Obama for America list got this message.  I figure that people in faraway places may at least be interested to know that a) the campaign is working every state, and b) folks from far away may want to use the phonebanking tool.
