You have surpassed yourself once again.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you're an idiot.

I know someone they called yesterday and they decided to vote for President BUSH. I think people are sick of being TOLD who to vote for especially if it is a telephone after work!

Thanks for checking out the JohnKerry.com call center. Unfortunately, there are no phone numbers available for checkout at this time.

Hi, is ______________ available?

My name is __________ and I'm a volunteer with the Kerry-Edwards campaign. I'm calling because we are walking door-to-door this weekend in your area. I am signing up volunteers to help.

Door-to-door canvasses are a critical to win this November and I'm wondering if you might be available. If you are interested in participating I can sign you up and tell you where and when we are meeting.
If they say Yes...

Great! Grab a pen and I'll give you the details....

[TELL THEM THE EVENT LOCATION AND AVAILABLE DAYS/TIMES]

[IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE DAYS OR TIME ASK THEM TO PICK]

You should feel free to bring a friend to walk with you. Thanks again and we'll see you there.
If they say No...

Sorry to hear that. Are you interested in volunteering for other types of activities or for future events?

IF STILL NO...

OK, well thanks for your time! I'm going to move on to my next call.

she was more concerned that they gave her number and addres out to a total stranger. she was nice

[MplsSteve]

What did Bernice say?!

LOL

[Principled]

I hope these folks in Pa, Fl, Oh, etc are getting plenty of Bush information!

Some suggested ideas:

Did you know John Kerry has a PLAN? No one knows what this
secret plan might be, which is scary; but we know YOU
aren't scared, are you?


John Kerry, enjoying discussing his daughters and others'
daughters, promises that his daughter will definitely be
out and about in that see-through black dress often if
he is elected.


John Kerry refers to terrorism and 9/11 as "nuisances".
Do YOU think 9/11 was just a nuisance? Was it a
big nuisance, medium size nuisance, somewhat of a nuisance,
or not a nuisance?


Yesterday, John Edwards spent considerable time fixing his
hair and primping with a compact mirror. Is hairstyle terribly important to you in the man who would be a heartbeat away from being the President in case of (heaven forbid) something happening to the President - is it
terribly important, very important, crucially important,
or not very important?


or JUST CALLING TO ASK FOR YOUR VOTE FOR GEORGE W. BUSH!

[Twinkie]

Do ya'll trust going over to DU directly from
FR? I suspect I picked up some crap from that
site the other day, bad cookies or something,
mean advertising cookies; I have a good firewall,
but if I hadn't it would have been pretty
aggravating (I'd had some experience with that
particular spyware before where we had to call
out a computerman to fix it.)

Last night was another huge success with nearly 50,000 calls made. You are making so many calls that we're adding more new states to the Kerry-Edwards Phone Corps list tonight.

This time Maine and Iowa are slated for attention -- with West Coast states getting late night calls. Tonight's e-mail will be brief with just some quick pointers.

* We're really emphasizing to people we are calling that this weekend is their best opportunity to get plugged into Election Day volunteering.
* We're asking people to take Election Day off from work or classes and telling them the best way to get involved is to show up this weekend.
* We give you five calls at a time. Which can quickly add up to a lot of calls.

Please log in below to start making calls today.

So you gave them your phone number when you registered?

[kendu]

LOL! and my address and SSN too

[Principled]

Make up a tel number silly.

There's a site you can go to that will tell you what any number spells or what numbers spell what you want...

that one is phun

[Principled]

The RSVPs for this weekend's canvasses, phonebanks, and Election-Day trainings in the battleground states are going strong, but a lot more work is needed. Your calls today and tomorrow can make the difference.

Thursday and Friday are really important days to call because so many of the activities you're mobilizing people for occur on the weekend. You might also consider taking Friday off from work or classes to make calls all day and leave messages. We'll be asking Kerry-Edwards Phone Corps members like you to make calls all day on and before Election Day too. That's how important your efforts are to winning.

http://calls.johnkerry.com

We also thought you might like to know the plan for the final push. Volunteers are getting together for trainings and planning meetings in the battleground states this weekend, weekdays next week and then the last four days. The Democratic Party's get-out-the-vote organizers still need thousands of volunteers, and your phone calls make a big difference.

Please keep calling and thanks for all you're doing.

The next few days are the most important of the campaign to date: Every targeted state is counting on volunteers from this weekend to sign up for Election Day work.

The Democratic Party is holding more than 1,000 volunteer events across the country, and it needs more volunteers than ever before.

And once again, Phone Corps is well on its way to making these events an amazing success: you have already confirmed more than 20,000 this week. Now, we need that last great push.

Help make some calls today:

There are only 11 days -- 264 hours -- left before we choose our next president. This is when we must work harder than ever: knock on those last doors, and make those last calls.

Even if you only have two hours to give -- those two hours will make a huge difference.
