It's time to work EVEN HARDER for Obama

Here is what I’m losing sleep over now: That Obama supporters will start to become lulled into complacency by the recent upsurge in his poll numbers. Forget the polls—now is the time to work harder than ever.
This week I’ve been calling voters in Western Pennsylvania and here’s what I’ve accomplished in just a couple of hours:

** Identified undecided voters that Obama field workers can focus their persuasion efforts on as they knock on doors in the coming weeks.
** Identified Obama supporters that field workers can both enlist as volunteers and focus on getting to the polls on election day.
** Identified hardcore McCain supporters that field workers can cross off their lists and waste no further time on.
** AND I've even persuaded undecided voters to support Obama after just a few minutes of conversation! I'm finding that what Obama-leaning undecided voters are looking for is just an opportunity to "think out loud" with a fellow voter.
Here is what YOU can do NOW to make sure we keep up the momentum:
1) Make calls to voters in battleground states from your own home. Spend as little as one hour (better yet, one hour a day!) and you’ll collect an abundance of valuable data for the campaign.
2) Knock on doors and talk to voters in your own neighborhood. Undecided voters don’t want to rely on television ads—they want to talk to “someone like me.”
Visit the campaign website to find out how EASY it is to print off a list, get it done, and enter your data online to help the campaign fine-tune its focus of effort in the final weeks.
