The election is about 17 days away. I know most of us are doing everything we have time (and money) for. So why not take a few minutes to invite friends and relatives to do the same? If you have, great! Let me know in the poll.
A text, email etc from someone you know has much more impact than the flood of impersonal ones we’re receiving every minute or more.

Hi __________,
The midterm election is about two weeks away as you no doubt know from the mountain of texts and emails piling up in your inbox.
There are many things you can do.
I hope you can do as much as your schedule permits in the remaining 17 days to maintain Democratic control of Congress. I’m writing postcards for voters, making calls to recruit poll watchers, posting on social media about deadlines (PA voter registration ends on Monday, 10/24) and issues (people should know about Republican threats to social security), and giving donations I can afford.
This Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Link can connect you to every imaginable method of reaching voters and every critical election – Phone banking, text banking, postcards to voters, social media use and more.
Effective Get Out the Vote measures can result in a final vote of 2-4% over polling, so it’s vital to ramp up our actions as November approaches.

Also – if you believe some of your contacts will get involved because of this information, can you forward this email to them?
Thank you!
If you do have time to do some of the above, please email me about it.
Thanks!
Please let me know any suggestions/comments/variations in the comments.
Thanks!
