Over the last month I've been a precinct captain for the OBAMA campaign, called, canvassed, emailed, donated, stood on street corners, went to fund raisers. And yesterday's primary here in California is now over. My work is done.
Or so I thought. It's been stressful and took up a lot of time that was take n from my family and work. I was looking forward to resting and just giving it to the others now to do.
But, I've been thinking, I"m not done. There are a lot of things I can do (though hopefully they'll take less time). So follow me below the fold to see what I've come up with AND AM DOING and perhaps add your own ideas.
- As this morning's rec diarist did for the first time.... DONATE DONATE DONATE. Today would be great, it'd be a great story if he could say he raised 10 million or something in one day :).
- A commenter in the previous diary had a great idea. Send a copy of Audacity of Hope (or in Spanish)to someone you know in one of the next month's states:
02/09: Louisiana, Washington, Nebraska, Virgin Islands (send two day mail!)
02/10: Maine
02/12: DC, Maryland, Virginia
02/19: Hawaii, Wisconsin
03/04: Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont
- Send emails to all possible independent and Democratic friends and family in the above states:
Send this video link
OR this one
or this one
Or the the website (if you put the state before barackobama.com like http://virginia.barackobama.com , it will direct them to state-specific info).
- Have a sign or poster in your window or on your car? Leave it up.. then add a sign that says, in big letters, DONATE.BARACKOBAMA.COM I did. And it's working. Man just this morning said he would as he passed me on the street smiling at my posters at my house.
- Not sure what the campaign headquarters want, but I have a few signs and posters and buttons, I might send them to another state. Or to a friend in another state who could use them.
- Recommend this diary ;-) and add your own ideas.
Let's do this!!! Let's scare the RedStaters even more :)
