Are you looking for some easy to do, direct action to get W out of the White House? Do you have a cell phone with free long distance and weekend minutes? Do you need to get outdoors more? Then this is the project for you! Democracy In The Park, organized by America Coming Together. We did this last week, thanks to Perrin, and it was great.
The idea is pretty simple: you get a list of swing-state voters, you call them up, you ask them who they're thinking of voting for, and what their key issues are. ACT follows up later. It's very painless, you don't have to convince anyone of anything. I got through a list of 25 voters in New Hampshire, and actually spoke to 5 people who were home and willing to answer a survey. 2 Bush supporters, 1 undecided, 1 leaning toward Kerry, 1 Kerry supporter. So get out there, and start smiling and dialing! In NYC, they're in Central Park, Tompkins Square Park, Union Square, Prospect Park, and McCarren Park in Williamsburg. In Boston they're in JFK park, and they're at the Memorial Glade on the UC Berkeley campus. Charge up your phones!
Oh, and thanks to Trip for sending us this link to a pep talk by Michael Moore. Go read, you disheartened Democrats.
