| If you're like me, you've been meaning to get down to your local Obama office and do something useful in this here election cycle. But things just keep getting in the way: kids, work, home repair projects, [insert excuse here] or maybe you're just too tired.
Well, here's the plain truth: if we're going to do something besides write checks or type stuff into a computer, the time to act is now. In less than two weeks this thing is going to be over.
Yeah, things do seem to be going pretty well for our side...especially here in Michigan. But don't let that make you complacent. You never know what last-minute evil tricks the Republicans have their sleeves.
And anyway, this isn't just about winning. It's about delivering a massive body blow - the most emphatic rejection possible - to the drown-government-in-a-bathtub, trickle-down philosophy that's paralyzed this country for years (virtually my entire life). We desperately need to throw them to ground - and we may never get a chance like this again.
So here's what I'm going to do. For four hours on the Saturday and Sunday before the election - and for eight hours on both Monday and Election Day - I'll be at Lansing Obama HQ making phone calls and going door-to-door. I'd like to do more, but at least it's something.
If you're in the Lansing area, the campaign is especially looking for folks those last four days before the election. If you can help, Chris Lewless is your man (a Michlibber from w-a-y back). Contact him here:

BTW, the Lansing office is located conveniently in the old Michigan Catholic Conference building, right in front of Saul Anuzis and Republican state headquarters (seriously!):
505 N. Capitol Ave.
Lansing, MI 48933
(517) 485-4124
And if you're located outside of Lansing, your local Obama office can be found right here.
After we're done and accomplished our task, you shall find me running joyously through the streets of the 'hood, waving my American flag and yelping with pure delight. We've waited eight years for this. Eight. Long. years. |
