60 Hours until the voting booths open on November 2nd. What have you done? Check in here to report successful activity and motivate others! This is the ground game, and this thread is here to ensure attaboys, good ideas, success and victory proliferate.
Come on by, and tell your FRiends how to win one for W!
Thanks for starting this thread...
I've been active with the 72 hour efforts for my state (WI) and county, making hundreds of phone calls so far and I am also planning to volunteer all day on Tuesday as a poll watcher.
Helping with the campaign is a lot of fun and I hope that anyone who isn't already involved will get out and make a difference! It's not too late to get involved :)
I bought 100 Bush/Cheney bumper stickers and gave them out at my place of business. They went quickly!!
Thanks for kicking it off!
I delivered 150 lit pieces today, and wrote a letter to the editor regarding OBL (they tend to print everything in Fargo.)
Monday night I plan to sign wave the following:
Side 1: "Cut and run with Kerry!"
Side 2: "Win with W!"
Note to sign makers:
* 2'x3' flourescent tagboard, alternating colors on either side
* Black indelible markers
* Quick statements with few words easily read by passers by
Good luck, and good freeping!
First time ever Bush sign in my yard in Wisconsin
I'm in Minnesota with a team of 72 other Texans and we are working 24hr shifts! We started last Tuesday and we are going through election day. The President held a rally here today and Minnesota is PUMPED! The upper deck of the
Target center was closed because they didn't expect the need for it...but they were wrong. People kept flooding into the place - they had to open the entire upper sections. The Target center was filled to capacity, some 22,000 excited Bush supporters! We're all very excited and we will not stop until Minnesota turns RED!!
Email everyone you know.
Me too... I have a yard sign and a bumper sticker!!! Both firsts for me :)

Go get 'em in MN!!! I so hope MN goes for Bush! I spent this weekend handing out and posting flyers for Coburn all over town... Bush will win here 60 to 30.
Make sure to smile and wave at everyone on the road with the three fingered "W"!
I'm in Central PA - the conservative part of the state needed to balance out Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. I've been distributing yard signs, working at the phone bank, going door-to-door on Saturdays, including 5 hours today (boy, am I sore!) Tomorrow I am doing a lit drop at our Church, and I am working as a driver / runner all day election day. I've been maintaining an email list of about 50 people to pass along news, humor, and calls to action, and I've hosted 2 Parties for the President. I'm also praying a lot.
Bush may not win PA, but it won't be because I didn't do everything in my power to help him! Getting out and doing something for the campaign is a good way to feel involved and empowered. I highly recommend it - it's a good feeling to know you can do something to help, and it sets a good example for your kids, if you have them.
Excellent work! You've outdone me by yards.
Question: Where's the best place for last minute campaign donations? Swiftboat Vets?
I'm in PA too, and I just started to volunteer today. I feel better knowing that I did something other than fret.
I voted via absentee. Spent several hours ea day Mon-Thu making 'phone calls for Congressman Robin Hayes (R-NC, 8th District). Will spend all day Mon 11/1 making "get out the vote" 'phone calls. Wish I could be a poll watcher, but have to work. Going to election eve party for Hayes.
Other stuff: Lots of email!! Talking up the President with everyone and anyone. I left Swiftie material EVERYWHERE -- in restaurants, in the dressing rooms at the mall, in restrooms, in the laundry room of my apt complex, in the church pew, even in the Salvation Army donation bag!!! I gave Swiftie material to most of my neighbors. I stopped at a house along my route to work that had a HUGE anti-SKerry sign in front and shook the man's hand. I chased down a big-a$$ SUV with a bumper sticker that read: "Regime change in '04" and told the people inside that they had no idea the meaning of the word "regime." I put a pair of flip-flops in my car and did the flip-flop thang to everyone with SKerry bumper stickers (very few, I'm happy to say).
I wanted to put a paper bag over an Erskine Bowles yard sign, but chickened out!
I'm starting to think and feel LANDSLIDE! Dear God of Israel, Lord of heaven and earth, please!
God bless America and our beloved Swifties!

I spent several hours last weekend making phone calls and then I attended a 96-hour campaign session. During the week, I put up several yard signs in strategic locations. Today, I spent a couple hours calling and got my assignment and materials for poll checking on Tuesday (I am taking a day of vacation to work the campaign). Tomorrow I am going to spend some more hours calling.
I'm a poll worker on Tuesday....took the day off work. Otherwise, I do my part whenever possible to make people aware of what a smarmy little worm Kerry is.
PS: I am in the Seattle area.
