NYC based GOTV Actions and Road Trips: Brooklyn, PA, VA, NH, ME
Alright NYC! Can we get a little GOTV activism? There is a LOT going on both inside and outside the city. Don't think your job is done just because we all know NY State is going for Obama. We still have work to do!
Women get out of your binders! Time to stop the Republicans from taking us back to the stupid and crazy Bush years. Big Bird wants you to save is job!
Here are ways you can get involved: (below the break)
GOTV efforts for two key races here in Brooklyn: YES FOLKS, BROOKLYN IS A GENUINE BATTLE GROUND!
Help GOTV in Brooklyn for Mark Murphy for Congress (we can win this one with some effort!) and Andrew Gounardes for New York State Senate
Can we defeat sleazy Republican congressman Grimm and dead weight State Senator Marty Golden? In the past the local Dem party boss was too close to Golden and the Repubs to actually lead the party against them. But a change of party boss can make a difference and this year the Brooklyn Dem party actually wants to defeat Republicans! And you can help.
You can help either through their website or help both through the Stars and Stripes Democratic Club:

DL21C GOTV Weekend Road Trip to NH (Oct 20-21)
Join DL21C as we enjoy the fall foliage and beauty of New England while knocking on doors for Obama in this critical swing state - this small state may make the difference in the electoral college as the Presidential race narrows, so let's make sure New Hampshire's 4 electoral votes are blue!
Recent polls are showing a tight race and you can make a real difference in just a weekend. You'll also be volunteering for competitive down-ballot races for us to make a difference on, including Maggie Hassan for Governor (who, if elected, would be the nation's only sitting female Governor) and Carol Shea-Porter for Congress - one of the most competitive House races this cycle that could make the difference in returing the House to the Democrats!

Obama Campaign Trip to Pennsylvania
Saturday, Oct. 20th & every Saturday through the election (& Election Day, too!)
Departing Union Square, NYC, 8:00 am
Dear Friend,
I was so happy to see President Obama strongly put forth his case this evening. Now it's time for us to pick up the baton and carry it to the finish. In these last weeks the stakes are far too high and the polls far too close to sit on our hands.
Please join us this Saturday, October 20th, (and Saturdays, October 27th and November 3rd, as well as Election Day itself,) for a day of canvassing with the Obama campaign in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley. This is a bellwether district in a swing state, and a short bus ride from New York City. If you are serious about winning this election, there is no better place on Saturday.
We meet at 24 Union Square East (corner of East 15th St., in front of Babies 'R' Us), at 8:00 am every Saturday morning through the election, as well as on Election Day itself. The bus arrives back in New York before 8:00 pm. We ask a $10 contribution to defray the cost of the charter.
Thank you to everyone for your time and commitment. Please RSVP by e-mail, phone, or sign up on the Obama campaign website for your preferred dates using the links below, so I can provide a headcount to Obama’s team in the Lehigh Valley.
Saturday, Oct. 20th (If the link doesn't work, copy and paste this URL in your browser: https://my.barackobama.com/....)
