Last Chance to Be The Wave
— Ace

The final week is here.

If you want to organize an event, please do -- I'll promote it on the site so people know it's going on. It's pretty easy, I've learned-- basically you just have to call the candidate and/or local GOP offices and they'll tell you their needs.

Phonebanking is easy. It's a simple five to seven question script. Takes three minutes a call (or ten minutes for an interesting one, where you get to do some selling).

Doorknocking's even easier. They give you a map and a list of addresses and names (grouped in proximity, like all on the same street or cul de sac) and then you knock on the door and ask two questions: Are you voting November 2nd, can (Candidate's name) count on your vote? You mark the answer and if they'r undecided you give them some literature and a few key bits of info about the candidate (bio, positions). These addresses have been determined by marketing-types to belong to likely Republican voters -- soft voters, really -- so it's not like you're venturing into hostile territory too often.

The only dick I got was a guy wearing a New York Giants sweatshirt. I said I was canvassing for Jon Runyan, and he walked away from the door shaking his muscle-head in annoyance. As I left I turned to my partner and said, "I think he's not voting for Runyan because he was an Eagle."

The guy then called me back. I turned, and the idiot pointed out his sweatshirt (which I'd already noticed) and underscored the words "NEW YORK GIANTS."

And gave me a look that said, "Respect the sweatshirt, dude."

Now, that was the worst reaction I got and it wasn't even that bad. It's even a halfway-okay anecdote.

Anyway, it's super-easy. And it's kinda fun. You get to kibbitz in the office if you're working the phones, and you get to kibbitz with your partner if you're walking the streets.

It's not hard work.

Anyway, if anyone's interested, please put up your events, and I'll make sure people see them.

PA Morons, please go to the side bar and sign up to do phone banking or door knocking for Toomey.

 

I had been putting it off on the excuse that it was too hard and I didn't know who to call to get involved.  As it turns out it is easy. I even e-mailed ace the form which he has hyper linked to.

All you do is give them your name, number and area where you live. They call you, give you the closest GOP office, or the option of calling from home.

Please do it. It is so important that Toomey, Corbett and all of the congressional candidates win. Pennsylvania has so many seats up for grabs. We need to get them all.

I know Kratos is a central PA moron, and there are a bunch of Philly morons here. Even if you just do it for one day, and get one person to show up it will have been worth it

I will be at the Cranberry GOP office tomorrow after 5, Wed after 5 and possibly Thursday after 5. If any morons show up I will buy them a beer afterward(or during depending on how lax the rules are there)

Posted by: Ben at October 25, 2010 02:55 PM (DKV43)

6 Yeah, knuckleheads. Get out there and fight fight fight, for whatever whatever whatever.

You don't have any clue what you want, but my, you are filled with passionate intensity; like when ace finds his Mommy's tampon in the trash, and feels an inexplicable frisson of happiness.

New evidence has emerged that Representative Henry Waxman (CA-30) helped a group of radical antiwar activists cross the Iraqi-Jordanian border in order to deliver aid to families of enemy insurgents in the war-ridden Iraqi city of Fallujah. In December 2004, Waxman (D) sent a letter of diplomatic courtesy to the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan, requesting assistance for members of the radical group Global Exchange and the antiwar group Palisadians for Peace.  (click on my name)

15 Ace,

The local GOP office "should" be able to give canvassers lists of registered voters by street.  The list can usually be broken down by party and voting record.  When I ran for office, I ALWAYS carried the list.  The door opens, have your back to the door so that you do not scare them when they open the door, they will say yes.  You turn and say, Mrs. "name on list" I am X, and then the pitch.  I said vote for my ass, but you say whatever the state party line is, I'd say "will you support firing Nancy Pelsoi and her commie bitches", well not that exactly.  Ask if they need help getting to poll, etc.

Having the list and using a persons name makes a BIG difference.  You aren't a stranger, also, you don't call on the D's.  Just R's and I's.

JUST DO IT!

Slide the chips into the middle, this is it. This is really it, we gotta go all in.   

Call your local candidates' campaign headquarters, sign up for something or just show up, you will be welcome with open arms at any of the campaign offices.

We need your help.  For those of you who think it is cool to follow all of this, you are right it is quite cool.  But how about being a part of history, this election represents a point just like in a Bond movie where the automatic steel doors are closing and Bond rolls under them just in time.

This is it folks, get up, get active and get involved in whatever way you can.

The type of history we are seeking to make can only be made with your active participation.

Plus, I hear partying like its 1773 is a whole lotta fun.

I've done the phonebank thing which is super easy and can be entertaining whether someone is supportive or if they yell at you.  I won't do neighborhood doorknocking because there are wierdos out there.  Stranger danger.

39 Well, I got off my rear and contacted my local candidate for the 3rd time.  The first two times they acted like they never heard of volunteers before, promised to send me a list of names, and never did.  This time they sounded pumped.  I guess getting down to the wire in a close race will do that for you.

52 Seattle has a bunch of pussies.  That's all I'm saying.

I mean, how fucking easy do I have to make it?  Sign waving for Rossi (and whomever else you want) in front of the Seattle Times building? 

SIGN WAVING!!  But that's all I'm going to say.

Seriously, I would have brought the effing signs, and, you know, like probably some coffee, too.  Cockholsters.  But I digress.

Come on!  Fucking signs?  You hold them up and wave them.  Probably people honking at you.  The worst would be a triple-venti-soy-mocha-extra-hot-with-pumpkin-spice thrown at you.  But I don't really want to get in to it, pussies.

Sure, you'll party with me like you've got your own shirts, or something, but damn if you have to stand on a street and wave damn sign.  Dicks.

But that's all I have to say about that.

Guess I'll have to do it again next week.

Editor,

I did not want to say it but yes, you are correct.  Seattle morons are pussies, and not the good kind.  Senator Patty Murray loving pussies.

I got up early and got into work late one morning to wave a sign, I phone banked on Saturday, I wrote a check, I can point you to at least 5 letters to the editor, that I have seen, in local and regional papers in print and online right fucking now. 

We have had our chance but were to lazy to kick the psycho and her pork loving former staffers, now lobbiest, out of office.

So I don't want to hear any bitching from anyone for the next 6 years.  And enjoy that shithead Jay Inslee who will be spending the next 2 years campaigning for Gov. on your tax dollars.  You deserve each other.

I've linked (on my name) some places, and times, in the Boulder / Lafayette area where Stephen Bailey's people will be waving signs and generally letting it be known that this area is NOT a uniformly Blue lake.

The Bennet signs everywhere are hard to look at, but put it this way - it's the insecure homeowners who are posting them. Most of the homes don't have any signs at all.

Again: watching Boulder County go Red will be something awesome. Let's make it happen

Posted by: Zimriel at October 25, 2010 04:39 PM (jdXSV)

84 I have always wondered of "donating" a penny to the opposition makes sense.  It has to cost them more in time and effort so it is a net loss.  Cost them a few dollars for the cost to you of a penny.  Then they spend who knows how much in direct mailers once you are on the list.

Just came back from a town hall event in PG County (MD) for the awesome Charles Lollar (who's running to unseat Steny Hoyer).  He's a great guy, very likeable, positive, and focused on his message.  He can use all the help he can get for GOTV efforts.

There will be town halls tomorrow night in Laurel, MD and Wednesday evening in College Park at the UM campus.

Laurel, MD event 10/26: 6:30-8:30 pm at Laurel Boys' and Girls' Club, 701 Montgomery St. Laurel, MD 20707

College Park, MD event 10/27: 7-9 pm at UM Student Union Bldg 2nd Fl. - Juan Roman Room #2208.

I'll be doing literature handouts etc. in PG County.  Any Maryland morons who want to meet up please come to the events.

91 In all seriousness, we have a really good shot at unseating Richard Neal in MA-02. While the media's been focused on Barney Frank and Jeff Perry, the ground game here is incredible, and if you're in the area, we need the help. Tom Wesley's a Navy vet, a real conservative, and worth every bit of time, money, and effort that can be put out there. Please help. Please. http://www.repealneal.com http://repealneal.eventbrite.com

92 OK, Ace, you guilted me into calling the Fiorina office and volunteering my time. If her office doesn't call me back, are there any other Socal events you know of? I would really rather do the Cali thing seeing as how there are two vitally important initiatives (no on 25, yes on 23) that need good turnout.

93 No mention at all of the GOP candidate running against Louise "Demonpass" Slaughter? WTF!!!

Thanks for organizing this shin-dig, Ace.  I had a blast and I think we did some good work.

Big ups to you.

95 I just called Jill Rowland's office and plan on calling people tomorrow and the next day and during my lunches at work, etc. Jill Rowland is running against Demonpass Louise Slaughter. http://www.jillrowlandfornewcongress.com/

96 "....The McCain campaign here is Colorado was the absolute worst!. The people running it were jackasses. ....." I was in West Palm Beach FLA. That was the worst. His whole campaign sucked.

98 Might we have a post where everyone can pimp their local candidate?

99 Joe DioGuardi is a bit more down in the polls than last month, due to the pall Palladino has cast on the GOP NY races. But people are flyering for him all week at major commute areas where more conservative NYers might cross our paths: Grand Central Station, Staten Island Ferry, Queens Plaza subway station. And there will be phone banking for him over the weekend at the Met Republican Club at 122 E 83rd St. in Manhattan If you aren't sure you want to put in a little time for Joe - watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NznIQcdwTyY I didn't know Gillibrand was a key player in the Fannie/Freddie debacle. We hear a lot about Barney Frank but not her and Cuomo. We probably are going to have to suffer through more Cuomo but we can get rid of her. You can call Joe's campaign office at 914-941-4171

100 #79:

Tell Boehner to HOLD FAST. None of this pansy-assed wussification of the message once they get elected. "Cut of the week" club; repeal Obamacare and replace with something that allows competition and gives insurers tax breaks when they cover pre-existing, enforce the border, cut waste & fraud (i.e. illegals) from the public dole, NO BLOODY PORK from anyone, or they don't get RNC funds next election cycle. Set the standard, the Democrats will never be able to compete.

The GOP are bad at spine management, as in generally they act as if they don't have one, for fear of seeming mean. They will have a mandate, they need to do the right thing, no compromising so they can have a soundbite about 'reaching across the aisle'. Zogby showed people prefer gridlock to a continued Democrat agenda.

HOLD FAST, Boehner.

101 Also, going to a Dino fundraiser Wednesday night at a local restaurant (happens to be one of our favourites, natch), really excited about it. Busy evenings the rest of the week, but can sign wave Wednesday or Thursday lunch. Guess I should call and get my heiny out there.

Looking forward to the Seattle moron meetup Nov 2nd. Someone needs to come up with a pudding martini for morons.

103 Hey, that bastion of Canadian Liberalism (Toronto) just elected a fat white guy that the MSM hates.  Kick their asses to the curb. The year liberalism dies! Go USA!!

104 phone bank at CA GOP Burbank HQ, 9 am - 9pm. 1901 W Magnolia just east of Keystone. I'm pb'ing there for http://www.merlinfroyd.com/>Merlin Froyd and we are going to take Howard Berman. Merlin's got a motivated crew of campaigners, signs, billboards, commercials in the movie theatres in his district and he's personally walked over 15,000 homes in CA-28. Howard Berman doesn't even have volunteers. I'd like to be able to tell you Merlin's a super Marine/counterspy/robot-building rocket scientist but he's just an honest, successful businessman with a killer work ethic and a rock-solid conscience. Even Berman complimented him on what a clean campaign he's run.

105 I voted early and I voted as conservative as I could. Judicial races in NC are "non-partisan" (which has become quite a joke now) -- candidates are not identified by party on the ballot. However, I was prepared this time and checked with the state GOP for their recommendations. I contributed financially what I could afford and I will stay up and watch the election results. I'm on the GOTV driving list but I rarely get called because they have so many volunteers. I'll go if they call, though.

I'm amazed at the high morale of the GOP now. I was told a majority of independents are so fed up with Democrats they may never vote Democrat again. That's fine with me. A few Democrats (loose acquaintances) are crowing that the Democrats are surging back but couldn't answer when I asked what polls they were watching. Must be a super secret poll because most of those I trust say there is going to be a Mass Pudding Immersion on November 3rd.

106 On Saturday I went out to TomÂ’s River NJ to do some get-out-the-vote work for the Jon Runyan. Runyanis running against Jon Adler, a typical douchey Democrat who wants to save the freakinÂ’ world with your money. In covering the race from afar, it seemed like I should get a glove and get in the game.
