With only a few critical days left in this historic campaign, we need everyone to get out and talk to undecided voters. It's the most important thing any of us can do in these final days. Recently Chris Walla (from the band Death Cab for Cutie) took time away from his current tour to volunteer for the campaign in Wisconsin:
Chris had been finding a few hours to help out, stopping by campaign offices on his days off. Chris told us:
Volunteering couldn't be much easier, and it's been lots of fun. I was a little nervous right at first, but I figured out pretty quickly that the people I've been calling and whose doors I've been knocking on are just as concerned for our country as I am, and as Barack Obama and Joe Biden are. People all over this nation are ready for a change, and sincere, little conversations with our neighbors go a long, long way toward getting Barack into the White House.
Chris also took time to make calls to voters:
Walla continued:
This historic campaign is in its final few days, and we need your help — not just someone like you, but you! Your time and enthusiasm are worth their weight in gold — but only if you're willing to share them. I've been sharing my time and energy, and I've been amazed at what I've gotten back. I think you will too... Please join me!
Please take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to call your friends and neighbors and let them know how important it is to go out and vote. You can get started making calls from home right now, or use the map below to find a local campaign office near you:
This weekend, we're relying on our grassroots phonebankers to help out our field organization by making 300,000 phone calls to key battleground states. No matter where you are, you can get started making calls in just a few minutes. And if you are making calls, let us know what you're hearing on the phones today.
UPDATED: As of Sunday at 5:00 PM Central, we're at 240,947 calls with a few hours left of call time tonight. If you have even a half hour to help, you can join supporters across the country by making calls now.

. . . [An] e-mail, reportedly sent this week to 75,000 voters in Pennsylvania, blasts the Democratic presidential nominee for his inexperience and associations with ACORN and Bill Ayers and asks if "America, Israel and the Jewish community can rely on someone as dangerously inexperienced as Barack Obama." "In the 5,796 years of our people, there has never been a more important time for us to take pro-active measures in order to stop a second Holocaust," the e-mail wrote. It later said: "Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake. Let's not make a similar one this year!" Shapiro, who is Jewish, called the e-mail "absolutely abominable" "This is a new low," he said. "It offends every single memory of the ones who perished in the Holocaust and those who survived the Holocaust. . . . Link
