Americans Coming Together needs you. Our very own Llamajockey has been volunteering for ACT. This is his (her?) report:
Thanks John,
Folks this is where you can really make a difference.
I worked the phone bank again last night. There are still plenty of undecided voters out there. The biggest thing we are noticing is that Kerry voters can give you 2,3,4 reasons that they are going to vote.
Not to mention Bush Haters. Anyone who says Kerry supporters are motivated solely by Bush Hatred is full of shit. This is a very good sign in terms of potential turn out.
Even better Undecided voters are more concerned about Kerry issues like the Economy, Defict, Healthcare and of course the War in Iraq vs Bush Issues like the WoT.
I think what is really interesting is that the majority of Bush supporters can not or will not give you a reason why they are supporting Dubya Except for, that is the occasional pro-lifer or anti-gay marriage fundie. I don't know if it is because the right-wing media is telling them that this campaign is not about issues but about character. Who projects the best character to fight the WoT not who understands or has the best approach to fighting it.
What this tells me is that is Dubya's base of support rests almost entirely on image . If so the debates stand to really weaken his base's enthusiasm. We really need to work the post debate polls. Bush's numbers could take a real dive and we can soundly beat the Repug handily based on turnout.
Working the phones is all about turning out the vote.
So folks now is the time fight back and volunteer some time.
