Do it for someone you love.

Yesterday, I had to be home all afternoon to wait for a guy to come fix my poor dead microwave. While I waited, I made phone calls to 60 women voters in North Carolina, encouraging them to vote early, and asking them to volunteer with the Obama campaign for the next two weeks. I left a lot of messages and got a bunch of wrong numbers, but I also

Yay!! Okay, now you've got me all teary.

They even provide a script for you -- I've got it practically memorized after all the messages I left yesterday!

It's an opportunity to stretch myself a little.

That's exactly what Mr. Bone told me when I said I was thinking about making calls.

You are incredibly inspiring. *I* feel an urge to call people. Darn those international rates.

[thisisbone]

Aww! You're so sweet! Well, feel free to link this entry in your LJ -- who knows? You may have Stateside LJ friends who decide to take part!

[sarren]

Sure :)

[thisisbone]

Thanks for the linkage! *hugs*

You're from NC? Cool! :) I don't suppose you know where I can find county information for early voting locations? I'm in Granville County and their site for the board of elections has nothing on it, really.

I'd offer to help out with calls, but I tend to have panic attacks calling people I don't know. Not sure that would be at all helpful.

I absolutely know how to find information on early voting!

Go here: voteforchange.com. Fill out the form and it will tell you your early voting location, or give you the info you need to find it. Good luck!

I live in Ohio now, but was born and raised in NC, and we still have family there. :)

You are awesome! Thanks! :)

[thisisbone]

You're so welcome! Thanks for early voting! Take a friend!

I can't make calls from work, but I did the one thing I can do.
I checked my bank account (we get paid again tomorrow) and decided that I can eat less sushi, wait a couple weeks to get that new
Daniel Craig dvd and wear last year's sweater instead of hitting
Kohls this weekend and I doubled what I was going to donate.

I was thinking of PB and letting my actions speak for me.

*GIANT SNIFF*

Thank you, on behalf of both me and PB. You know she would have been all over this campaign; she'd have been calling our friend who's an editor at the local paper and making him give her the scoop, she'd have been giving money and calling people, and she'd have been wearing the most garish pro-Obama gear available on the internet.

I can just imagine it.

It gave me pause this AM when they "teased" the news with "The health scare that is forcing Obama off the campaign trail."
Seems to me if we're discussing character, going to visit your
ailing grandmother at a time like this is a good measure.
He's got his priorities straight.

[thisisbone]

I totally agree!

This was the poke I needed to sign up to make calls. Thanks!

[thisisbone]

YAY! Thank you so much! *beams*
