MoveOn.org in Bayside, CA

This afternoon I attended a MoveOn.org Party for Obama.  I was amazed to find 15 people as I entered the room all of whom were there to call and encourage people to help personally in many of the swing states.  We watched a video about how to call, did some practice work with a partner and then were off on our own with three pages of numbers and our cell phones.  We asked those that we called if they could help in their local Obama office going door-to-door or phoning next Saturday or Sunday.  We did find many who would help and directed them to the Obama office in their town.  Many were not home or their phones were answered with  a machine, but all in all it was a great experience to feel that you were a grass roots effort of many different kinds of Humboldt people all trying to make a difference in this election that is a turning point in our country's history. 

I will be phoning again the day before the election.  You too can help.  Come down to the Democratic office (5th Street between B & C in Eureka) starting at noon Saturday, Sunday or Monday of this next weekend and help us get out the vote. Call first 445-3366
