calling parties

Yvonne—We're all sending our thoughts and prayers to everyone recovering from the storm. Voter turnout is being disrupted in key states like OH and PA. So the rest of us need to redouble our efforts because the election is so close—we've set a new goal of 5,000 of us making calls from parties this weekend—can you join in? We only have 7 days left to volunteer to make sure swing state voters know what's at stake in this election, know how to vote, and know their rights at the polls.There's a GOTV call party in Chicago on Saturday at 12:00 PM. Can you come?  RSVP Now! Help the Red Cross respond to Hurricane Sandy. Make a donation to help provide relief to storm victims. Dear MoveOn member, I don't just want Mitt Romney to lose on November 6th—I want there to be no doubt about it. See, if this race ends up as close as the polls say it will, Republican voter suppression and intimidation could make all the difference—the difference between a second Obama term and all of us getting used to saying "President Romney." I don't want to get used to that. Do you? And we don't have to. If we all step it up this weekend and create a surge of grassroots people power by hitting the phones, we'll win by enough to overcome the Republican effort to steal the election. MoveOn members are hosting nearly 500 Get Out The Vote call parties this weekend to recruit badly needed volunteers in swing states like Ohio and Florida for the final push. Matthew S. is throwing a party in Chicago on Saturday at 12:00 PM. Can you come? Yes, I'll be there! I can't, but let me know what else I can do. I was born in an America where, because of race or money, many people couldn't vote. I never thought we'd go back to that, but that's exactly where today's Republican Party is taking us. They passed racist voter suppression laws in key states, they've run ad campaigns to scare people in low-income neighborhoods out of voting, and now they're training activists by the thousands to intimidate progressive voters at the polls on election day. So let's win big. Let's make sure no state comes down to a handful of votes. Let's make sure this election doesn't get decided by the courts—especially not the Supreme Court. I'm going to be out there every day between now and the election making sure voters know what's at stake, know how to go vote, and know their rights at the polls. I like saying "President Obama." I don't want to learn anything new. Please, join in before it's too late. Can you make it to a call party on Saturday in Chicago to help? Yes, I'll be there! I can't, but let me know what else I can do. Sincerely, –Michael Moore P.S. This week I've produced something very special with MoveOn.org—a new video where members of our Greatest Generation explain how they've done their part to preserve this country's values, but that now it's our turn. They're very...direct. You definitely shouldn't watch it at work (and if you're easily offended, you might want to skip it, or watch the bleeped version here). Please check it out—it brings this home in a way I guarantee you've never heard before. Want to support our work? We're entirely funded by our 7 million members—no corporate contributions, no big checks from CEOs. And our tiny staff ensures that small contributions go a long way. Chip in here.
