It's all hands on deck! Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Edwards and others have helped spread the word about MoveOn's cutting-edge voter mobilization program, Call for Change.
History will be determined in a matter of hours—will George W. Bush get a rubber-stamp Congress for the final two years of his presidency or not? You can help decide...by calling voters and urging them to vote for change.
Some races will be determined by just hundreds—or dozens—of votes. On Tuesday, some of your friends will make a key decision: Should I give some of my time to help get out crucial votes, or can I hope "somebody else" will do it?
You can help them choose. Even if folks have just a half hour free during lunch or an hour free at the end of a busy day, they can call target voters in the most competitive congressional races right from their personal computer.
Nearly 6 million calls have already been made! A real-time call counter is located at www.moveon.org. Here's what people are saying about MoveOn's Call for Change:
"I'm writing to tell you that the Democratic candidates in the tightest, neck-to-neck races in the country are counting on you to pull them through to victory with the energy, spirit and passion that define MoveOn."—Bill Clinton
"This morning, I joined the team and made some calls...I know it's easy to feel like your calls will be drops in a political ocean. I'm here to tell you that they're not. I know a thing or two about close races where a few hundred "drops" make all the difference. And the margins in many of these races are even closer. You could personally turn out the voter who tips the balance."—Al Gore
"Through Call for Change, you're reaching out to folks who have been told they should keep quiet for so long, they almost believe it. They want a different direction for our country, but they've been disappointed, and ignored, and they need a reason to hope. You're calling to give them that reason—to let them know that this week, their vote has the power to turn it all around."—John Edwards
"As a disabled veteran who is greatly affected by this administration's failure to properly fund VA health care and mental health programs for active duty troops and veterans, I urgently ask all my readers to help work for change in America."—MoveOn blogger Mike
"I don't normally post politically themed topics, but this is too important to not talk about. This election day, on Nov. 7, the Democrats have a solid chance of taking back Congress...Help MoveOn.org and sign up as a volunteer to call people and make sure they get out to the polls."—MoveOn blogger Ari
"In the most sophisticated phone banking program ever produced in American politics, MoveOn.org has created a program to call [five] million key voters in 50 key House districts and more than half a dozen Senate campaigns...it is amazing stuff."—Chris Bowers, MyDD
