Paul — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:45:53 EDT

Starting Oct 20th you can forget the Lines

1. When we talk to people lets suggest that they meet with their family and friends, which could be a simple coffee and donut party on the weekend then go vote. Or, an after Vote BBQ.

2. Lunch time shuttle to the local library

3. Get people to request an*** Elector's Absentee Ballot.****

If you still want to Vote at a location all you have to do is bring the Absentee Ballot with you so the poll worker can collect it. This way you can also see and make your decision before you go to Vote

Sarah in Coral Springs, FL — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 20:44:09 EDT

Coral Springs Neighborhood Teams 3 & 5 are hosting the following events EVERY WEEK through Election Day!

Saturdays we have two CANVASS shifts. Our first shift meets at 9am for team update and training before heading out to knock on doors until noon. The second shift heads out from 1pm-4pm. We meet at Sarah Shanley's home: 10022 NW 19th St., Coral Springs, 33071. No experience necessary. We will train you and pair you up with someone if you come alone. It's fun, it's the most effective way to persuade voters and it's a fabulous way to lose weight!

Wednesday nights we meet at 6pm for brief team meeting and then PHONE BANKING to households in Coral Springs. No experience necessary - we will give you a script to work from along with training. We are currently looking for a larger place which can accommodate more callers but in the meantime we are making calls from Sarah Shanley's home: 10022 NW 19th St., Coral Springs, 33071.

Clarification

Kristen Psaki — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 14:35:20 EDT

There was a message circulating some of our groups in Florida yesterday that spread incorrect information conerning the the ID needed to vote. We're going to clarify below.

A message from the Florida Campaign for Change chief election lawyer:

I am the Obama-Biden campaign’s chief election lawyer in Florida, and I have received the 'no match no vote' message from several sources. This message is categorically false.
Our reading of the clear statutory language does NOT require that the address on the driver’s license (or other ID) that the voter presents at the polls match the voter’s address in the precinct register. Furthermore, this press release from the Florida Secretary of State definitively ccnfirms:
http://www.dos.state.fl.us/news/communications/pressRelease/pressRelease.cfm?id=330
See the last bullet:
· I.D. required and checked at the polls is used solely to confirm the voter’s identity. Not to verify the voter’s ID number or address. The photograph on the ID is compared to the person standing before the poll worker and the signature on the ID is compared to the signature on record.

Please feel free to email florida@barackobama.com with any questions or concerns.

Interview from hell!

Prudence A Romano — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 06:41:38 EDT

Awkward, clumbsy and rehearsed is what came across in the Pallan interview. Scary, very scary, to think this unqualified person has reached this level of government! Is this the poorest judgement yet for Senetor McCain?

Puppet

Byron Valle — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:54:10 EDT

Watching Governor Palin's speech made me sick last night.

It was a well-written (See: Written for her), well-rehearsed attack on Barack Obama. Was it as effective as the Republican's would have hoped? I don't think so. Sarah Palin is a Puppet. She's a sham. She's very easy to see through. She's simply a distraction for the Republican party. In three days of speeches I have not heard one thing about the economy, the middle class, creating new jobs, the environment, or plans for energy (except for drilling). Just more of the same, warhawking and fear-mongering.

Sarah Palin is a puppet and distraction. Let's make the media and public focus on a young pregnant daughter as opposed to the plans the Republicans have for America's future, which are: NONE. Let's try to trick women who are unfortunately apathetic to politics (sigh... my mother) into voting Republican by slapping a woman (who was barely vetted) on their ticket.

I actually cannot wait for the debates. Especially the VP debate. What is she gonna do when she cannot just attack but she has to speak about something of substance: THE ISSUES. The issues that are pressing to this country the most. That I can't wait for.

This morning I have recieved emails from my newsgroups and SoFla for Obama with people complaining and feeling defeated. NO MORE! NO MORE WEAK DEMOCRATS! Stand up and ignore her diatribe and the right party rhetoric. They attack because they have no solutions for our country's problems. Sit back and look, they are the weak ones.

McCain Double Backfire!

Prudence A Romano — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 09:06:48 EDT

While I was out yesterday getting voters to register, dozens of people stopped by the registration table to vent thier feelings about McCain's pick for VP. One supporter of McCain said that he is appauled by McCain's lack of judgement and has decided not to vote for him because of it. Dozens of women, some of them Hillary supporters, said they were insulted and outraged. It speaks volumes of McCain's opinion about not only women, but ALL people. He thinks we are naive and stupid! And if he wanted to take the focus off of Obama after the DNC, he did, but in a very negative way. So who is naive and stupid? A double backfie indeed!

Pathetic!

Prudence A Romano — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:15:37 EDT

John McCain's pick for VP is PATHETIC! Did the old coot forget what he said about experience? His choice lacks experience not only on foreign policy but on domestic policy as well. Joe Biden is going to make minced meat out of her when they debate!

Outrageous: Bushed Again --Undermining Womens' Rights

Tamarac Ilene — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:07:31 EDT

An Outrageous Attempt by the Bush Administration to Undermine Women's RightsThe Bush administration is up to its old tricks again, quietly putting ideology before science and women's health. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is poised to put in place new barriers to accessing common forms of contraception like birth control pills, emergency contraception and IUDs by labeling them "abortion." These proposed regulations set to be released next week will allow healthcare providers to refuse to provide contraception to women who need it. We can't let them get away with this underhanded move to undermine women's health and that's why I am sounding the alarm.

These rules pose a serious threat to providers and uninsured and low-income Americans seeking care. They could prevent providers of federally-funded family planning services, like Medicaid and Title X, from guaranteeing their patients access to the full range of comprehensive family planning services. They'll also build significant barriers to counseling, education, contraception and preventive health services for those who need it most: low-income and uninsured women and men.

The regulations could even invalidate state laws that currently ensure access to contraception for many Americans. In fact, they describe New York and California's laws requiring prescription drug insurance plans to provide coverage for contraceptives as part of "the problem." These rules would even interfere with New York State law that ensures survivors of sexual assault and rape receive emergency contraception in hospital emergency rooms.

We've seen this kind of ideologically driven move from the Bush administration before. Senator Patty Murray and I went toe to toe with the Bush administration to demand a decision on Plan B by the FDA. We won that fight and we need to win this one too.

When I learned about these proposed rules, I immediately joined with Senator Murray to call on the Bush administration to stop these dangerous plans. I am joining with New York family planning and healthcare advocates to spread the word. Now is the time to raise our voices. I will continue to press HHS and I hope you will join me. I have posted information on how to get involved here.

Opposed consistently women's health legislation
