Ok, it's been said many times many ways but, here's my 2 cents worth!

I encourage everyone I meet to early vote. Every person I work with. Anyone with an Obama button on. Have you voted yet? No? When are you going to vote?

Every person that votes early not only is one in the bank for us but also less crowd on election day for everyone else that chooses not to. Long lines with hours of waiting often result in people with jobs and children to have to leave and not vote. Long lines are disproportionately in Democratic leaning neighborhoods, poorer neighborhoods where a day's pay can't be missed and childcare hard to come by. It is our votes that are lost when lines are long.

Don't be part of the traffic jam at the polls on election day. Your early vote may ensure that someone else's vote for Obama will be cast on election day. I know many of you want to experience casting your vote on THE day but, it's the days after that are more important. We need every vote to win.

Even if you don't canvass or make phone calls you can talk to and encourage the people around you to early vote. I've gotten nearly everyone I work with to vote early. Person to person works even better when you know the person you're talking to. You can make the difference.

GOTV! Early vote! Run through the tape!
