There are dozens of very tight, but winnable Congressional elections - both House and Senate. Why not combine your personal interest, our national interest and home schooling by making Get Out The Vote (GOTV) calls with your homeschoolers.
We just took our homeschoolers over to our local Republican Victory Center here in Illinois and made about 300 calls. It is extremely easy. They set you up with a very short script. The kids were nervous, but it's very easy and a well spoken 10 year old can do it easily. Once they get started you just roll along.
This isn't "cold calling", but calling people who have already indicated they're willing to vote for the candidate or Republicans in general. You're just gently reminding them to get out and vote! The script is easy to follow and goes something like this:
Hi, I'm NAME and a volunteer at XXXX for Congress/Senate/Etc. Can XXX count on your vote this November?
We mailed you an absentee ballot. Are you planning to vote by mail? Have you already voted?
It is totally automated and very easy. Let me emphasize EASY!!!
If you don't like calling strangers don't worry. They're very friendly overall and if they don't want to talk they just hang up or say so.
The issue is that these are voters who don't normally show up on election day. They're wanting to vote and have said they'd vote for the GOP candidate, but need a little reminder and motivation.
It's very educational and our families need to know the realpoliticks of American elections. So you get to help conservatives win, help America regain her founding purpose, and you get an education to boot!
Just search for either "Republican Victory Center - your state" or "Romney Victory Center - your state". Contact them and they'll get back to you quickly.
Let's be the ones to gain a conservative victory this fall. I'd like to leave a better America for our kids than the one we got.
There are only 13 days until the election. You can make a difference - do it now!

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Getting better by the day.
That’s good and I’m glad. Thanks for all you do.

Pay particular attention to the comments in that thread.
When conservatives do it, it's utilizing "foot soldiers for God's truth" ....

I'm with you. It's nauseating to use children this way.
I used to run call centers. While most of my employees acted childish, that is really no place for a kid.
Kids say the darnedest things...and you need to be careful that they don’t say them to voters or customers. Plus putting them into that kind of a monotonous job..they will be uncontrollable.
It’s the kind of idea someone who has never worked in a call center would come up with.
BUMP
Using children - which 10-year-olds are - for your political motivations is wrong. It's using their "cutesy" factor for political machinations they have no means to understand yet. Older teens are one thing .... prepubescent children are another.
And anyone that would vote based on what a CHILD tells them is an industrial strength idiot.
Sorry...that really Santa directed at you...I should have changed the “to” name.
But, that said...I agree with you.
Santa should be wasn’t. I hate Steve Jobs for not putting a tactile keyboard on this thing.
