That's a brilliant thing to do. Plus, it probably much more useful than trying to convince Romney supporters to vote for someone that they're not so sure about.Judithhttp://leeswammes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354429728039534096.post-19274250429542101222012-11-06T12:31:42.607-08:002012-11-06T12:31:42.607-08:00Thanks for your comments, Judith.

Actually, a lot of my calls were to people we believed were already Obama supporters--encouraging them to vote, making sure they knew their polling location, the hours, what ID to bring, etc. But, some of the others there were calling Florida members of the progressive organization MoveOn.org and asking them to volunteer for door to door canvasing shifts right through the polls closing today.<br /><br />I didn't mention this in my blog post, but I also made some calls in California in support of Prop 34, which would repeal the death penalty in this state. I will be so pleased if this repeal goes through.Susan Tunishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837526940999465957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354429728039534096.post-44193973916493520492012-11-06T11:40:01.877-08:002012-11-06T11:40:01.877-08:00Great story, Susan.

I should mention (a moment of cultural differences) that we would never, ever, phone people to ask them to vote this or that way. (We = The Netherlands). I know in Englang they'll go door to door to try and get your vote. <br /><br />Let's hope your effort pays off!Judithhttp://leeswammes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
