Registering new voters is a marvelous idea but so is changing party registration from Democrat to Republican or Independent.
Vote D’s out from the local on up. If they don’t get in locally, it is more difficult to get on the ballot later.
This is actually a pro-Romney effort, being titled an anti-obama effort. I believe this is the effort that glenn beck talked about a few weeks, getting Christian Conservatives involved, again supporting romney. I wouldn’t be surprised if Romney’s money is involved. If you read the article, this is a new organization with what looks like a pretty heavy endowment. Once again, the christians get played and taken for a ride..
From the article:
“Enlisting Florida Christians in a high-tech outreach program by identifying and signing up tens of thousands of area Christians who aren’t registered to vote so they can cast ballots this fall and beat President Barack Obama in November.
Late last month, Florida Family Action launched its eight-stop “Ignite to Action Tour” to recruit volunteers. They’re being given the data-mined names and assigned to contact them through phone banks, neighborhood canvassing, church events and other meetings, to get them registered.
Ignite to Action is opening seven field offices, in Orange, Escambia, Broward, Palm Beach and Hillsborough counties, in the next month. A typical office will have 30 computerized workstations to connect volunteer callers with their targets telemarketing-style, so they don’t even have to dial the phones themselves.
But Stemberger’s pitch to fire up his volunteers isn’t pro-Romney; it’s anti-Obama.
“You may not like the [Republican] nominee,” he told one group of prospective champions. “We have got to think clearly about this. We can’t be purists. If we’re purists, strategically we’re done.”
GO NEWT!!
