Senator Obama needs us.
We have 2 weekends left to help get the vote out, and the time is now.
Not next month, but now.
We had an exceptional push for Voter Registration here in Collin County, over 23,000, yes thousand voters were registered between March and the beginning of September.
Now we need to get them to the polls.
The most effective way to reinforce this is by canvassing and talking to voters. If you aren't comfortable with that, you can be part of the first shift of dropping literature at Democratic doors. The doorknockers include pertinent information on the down ballot candidates and early vote locations and times; we are putting all the important information right in the hands of the voters.
Two weekends which will effect the next 4 years of our lives. Collin County needs all of us to step up and help.
12 hours of your time to change the next 4 years of your life.
Don't you want change?

Thomas Frank makes a valid argument that the same Conservative republicans who claim the Fed govt. will bungle in everything they do have proven the same in last eight years by sleeping at the wheel.
If the same conservative republicans who do not believe in Fed's role in any thing, why do they run for office?
It's high time we bust these real hypocrites like John McCain and Sara Palin.
