Obama Campaign Pleads for 833 Election Day Volunteers in Northern Virginia [Desperation!]
The Weekly Standard ^ | 11/5/12 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 11/05/2012 4:23:00 PM PST by markomalley

In an email to supporters, the Obama campaign pleads for Election Day volunteers in northern Virginia. "Daniel," the email begins, "if you care about how this election ends, then I need to know right now: Can we count on you to help get out the vote on Election Day?"

The email, from Obama for American national field director Jeremy Bird continues, "Additional volunteers from Arlington needed through Election Day: 833."

Then, the campaign tries to guilt folks into volunteering. "Number of times you've committed to volunteer using this email address: Make this your first," writes Bird.

Bird provides an address for volunteers to meet up.

"The voters you talk to could very well be the ones who swing Virginia in President Obama's direction," writes Bird. "We've got to get as many voters out to the polls as we can, period. That's why we're trying to figure out just how many volunteers can make it out in Arlington tomorrow."

The stories you here about the Obama campaign emails and scare tactics (”we know who you are, where you are, and what you have done”) is truly appalling. If these people vote this man in again, heaven help us.

A friend in Florida said she got an email within the hour from Obama that they needed 697 volunteers for get out the vote help tomorrow. Looks like they are short of their turnout projections everywhere.

Volunteer and don't show up. Seems fair to me.

Obama himself could help out. There is another article posted about how he is playing basketball tomorrow, instead of working. He’s taking the day off, but his volunteers are supposed to make bricks without straw.

”we know who you are, where you are, and what you have done”

Thug/union tactics. Four years later and he’s still just a radical community organizer.

I suppose he thought he could threaten the entire country like he did Chicago and we’d just fall into line.

It’s just a fail-safe to make sure there are more than needed, and to intimidate voters. Thanks markomalley.
