[Davis Democrats] Help Us Get Out the Vote! Yolo United Newsletter 10/29

[Yolo United]

We at Yolo United are grateful for all you've done and donated. Now, 
help us run through the finish line. Please know that the work is far 
from over. This last week is critical to our success locally and 
nationally. We've seen good candidates get this far, thinking that they 
would win, but things turned at the last minute - for whatever reason. 
So, keep the heat on. Come out and volunteer with us every minute that 
you have between now and when the polls close. Then watch the returns 
with us in Woodland, Winters or Davis Tuesday night - details follow.

Go Obama! Go Thompson! Go Morris! Go Wolk! Go Yamada! Go Measure W 
(Davis)! Go Kristoff and Villegas, U and V in West Sac!

And, go AWAY Props 4 and 8!

GET OUT THE VOTE EFFORT NEEDS VOLUNTEERS
Please don’t assume Obama has this election in the bag. Complacency is 
our enemy!

Will you volunteer to help get out the vote either locally or nationally 
from November 1st through November 4th? We need volunteers to drop 
literature throughout the county, check polls on Election Day, make 
calls to voters to encourage them to vote, and call swing states to 
ensure an Obama victory. If you can help on any - or all - of those 
days, please e-mail Louise Hendrickson at louisehendrickson at gmail.com 
and let her know when you are available and what you are interested in 
doing. With everyone's help, we will ensure that we have reason to 
celebrate on November 4th!
