A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
For those of you down to help, this message comes from Beth Bafford. She coordinated a big part of my trip to Northern Virginia a few weeks ago. She’s now moved on to PA. Here’s her message.
Greetings from Philadelphia!
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are embarking on a major voter registration push to get Pennsylvania voters registered as Democrats by the March 24th deadline. We have tons of volunteers from in and out of state in PA going door to door registering voters, but we need people calling as well to reach as many potential Barack voters as possible.
We need to call registered independents [SUNDAY] AND MONDAY to ask them if they are Obama supporters, and if so, then we will send them voter registration forms RIGHT AWAY for them to fill out and return by the deadline!
If you can help, please EMAIL ME- beth.bafford@gmail.com, and I will email you call sheets and brief scripts to use in your efforts!
EVERY CALL COUNTS! If you get one independent Obama supporter to register as a Democrat, it is worth it!
We have been told that we need to make 90,000 calls tomorrow- so let’s show PA that New York is still working hard to elect Barack Obama as our next President!!!
FIRED UP!
Beth
