"If we can get Proposition 73 voters into the polls, it will have a benefit for the other propositions as well," said Mike Vallante, chief operating officer of the state Republican Party.

This is going to come down to voter TURN OUT, pure and simple, and if you don't think the other side is serious about it, perhaps this might move you: This weekend, 3,000 - 5,000 out-of-state evangelicals came into the state to mobilize a right wing get-out-the-vote effort! Read the propoganda being promoted by the right wing (quoted in the L.A. Times, Oct 13), check out the info below that, and HELP OUT! - k.

State GOP hires a Bush campaign veteran to get evangelicals to the polls. Abortion is the draw.

Dear Friends,

Please read the following call to arms by Davy Bui (who is organizing SFD’s participation in this weekend’s Special Election Precinct Walk) --- it’s informative and more importantly, inspiring. Very succinctly, he has laid out the what, whys and how’s of the upcoming battle. What can I say, except -- I’m there!

This election will turn on a handful of votes in swing states. On Election Day, we're going to call half a million Kerry supporters in these states and make sure they vote. With thousands of us on the phones, we can make a major difference in a couple of hours!

Cell phones in hand, we'll gather in living rooms across the country to have fun and contact voters together. Each phone party will have a list of folks to call and scripts to read while we're on the phone.

Two years ago, Republicans spent millions of dollars on their Get Out The Vote operations and won tight victories in several close U.S. House races. We're not going to let them do it again this year! Democracy for America volunteers across the country are committing to take time off work to help get out the vote. Can you commit to taking a day off for Democracy to help Democrats win? In many tight races, just a small committment could make the difference.

SPEAK OUT FOR CHANGE!

No to War!

No to Attacks on Civil & Workers Rights!

Yes to Peace, Justice & the Environment!

Some of our sites we send out begin at 8am and end at noon and then we have been seding a 2nd team out from 11am to 3pm because our GOP friends (just kidding, of course!) are also at these sites.
