Get UP! Get OUT! Get Someone!

I've had the most AMAZING experiences the last few days. On Tues, I overheard a newer volunteer struggling to understand a woman with a thick German accent with questions about the vote by mail (vbm) and early vote (ev) options. Knowing that face-to-face works best, I offered to go to her home (though it was way out of my territory), explain the options, and help her through it. I soon learned at her home that she'd been a Democratic voter her many decades in the USA and just needed help with the unfamiliar options. She left me speechless and honored when she asked me to come back next week to help her with the VBM ballot.

Wednesday morning, I awakened to the sound of a frail, slightly-accented, elderly woman's voice on the other end of the line. This 82 yr old Republican had no plans to vote due to medical conditions and her party's candidate, mainly the latter. However, since she'd heard from her friend above about the VBM option and delivery service (hehee), she wanted to know if I could help her "become a Democrat and vote for that Obama fellow". It was quite simply THE best wake-up call I've ever had.

The three of us Floridians, the transplants from Germany, Poland, and the GREAT state of Illinois, will have a voting party next week.

Thanks for hanging with me. Now, would you like to experience an awe-inspiring Campaign for Change moment? Then...

Get UP! Get OUT! Get Someone!

Join us on a canvass. Barack the phones. Give us a call to be a part of the nuts and bolts not advertised online. We NEED YOU!
OBAMA NEEDS YOU! Despite leading national polls, he is a point or two behind in Florida. OUR 27 votes could go elsewhere! But if each of us brings in a few more solid supporters, such as the ladies above, we can paint Pinellas County, the Gulf Coast and Florida a beautiful shade of OBAMA BLUE!
YES WE CAN
