As you may know, there are few things as important in the final four days of a campaign than contacting voters personally and encouraging them to come out to the polls. And that's why Moveon.org is an incredibly important piece of machinery for grassroots Democrats to use this weekend. Moveon.org has set up a simple yet innovative program that has identified millions of "drop off" Democratic voters in close races around the country--these are voters who typically vote Democratic in Presidential elections, but are unmotivated to go to the polls in midterm election years.
The program has already made 4 million calls to such voters, and Moveon hopes to boost that total by another half million over this weekend. In 1994, many races were won by Republicans by very thin margins with the help of a depressed Democratic base. Let's turn the tables and excite as many Democrats as possible this weekend. Can you commit to an hour or more of phonebanking for Moveon.org this weekend? Can you attend or host a Rock The House (and Senate) Phone Party this weekend or on election day?
It's easy, it's fun, the interface is people-friendly, and you'll be calling Democrats (not conservative independents who may chew your head off). Even Al Gore approves. Best of all, you just might help tip the scales in a tight race this cycle.
