The Obama campaign makes it easy for you to connect with voters in your own neighborhood who may be undecided—on your own time and from wherever you want to sit and make calls. Those of you who’ve worked on call banks in tiny, crowded campaign offices will know this is a BIG plus! ;) For the last few nights I’ve been making calls and I’m hooked—it is an amazing experience and you really can make an impact.
IT TAKES 5 MINUTES OR LESS TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT & START MAKING CALLS:
1. Visit http://my.barackobama.com/modules/votercontact/login_signup.php
2. If you already have an account on the Obama website, just log in and follow the instructions. If you don’t already have an account, just follow the simple instructions for creating one.
3. Then print your list and you’re ready to start making calls! The campaign provides you with a sample script. If you’d like to see the script I’ve developed after 30+ calls, email me at cstamstad@msn.com . When you’re done making calls for the day, record your responses online so that the Obama campaign is in the loop about what you’re hearing.
I plan to spend at least 30 minutes every day between now and the end of the campaign calling voters. Last night I easily made a first pass through my list in that amount of time. (Some folks were not home and I’ll have to call them back.) THIS REALLY WORKS—I HAVE ALREADY CONVINCED UNDECIDED VOTERS TO “LEAN OBAMA” !!!
In the meantime, I’ll continue to use this blog to offer suggestions on talking points you can use when you are able to connect with undecideds either in person or by phone. Please take a minute to read my previous posts if you haven’t done so already. And I hope you POST COMMENTS about what you are saying to undecideds that works (or does not work)!
