conclusion that people are either very well informed on the issues and the candidates, or they're
Republican.

The purpose of the calling party was to contact other MoveOn members around the country and ask them if they could volunteer
on specific dates, to help the Obama campaign register voters or to make calls. There was a 2-page handout we all were given
and a short video to watch. And then we all took our cell phones and wandered off to every corner of the house, to start
working our way down the call sheets.

The worst calls were the people who were adamantly anti-Obama and somehow were incorrectly placed on the list
as MoveOn members. One guy admitted that he'd gone to MoveOn.Org online and signed up, but only "to see what garbage
they're throwing around out there." One guy just said, "No f***in' way!" and hung up on me.

But the best calls (and there were several) were like the one I made to a woman in Port St. Lucie, Fla. who said she was so happy to get the call,
because she had been looking for a way to become more involved in Obama's campaign but didn't quite know how. She enthusiastically
volunteered for all three days in question, and then asked if she could bring her husband, her mother and her son!

Yes, yes and more yes. We need every bit of help we can get!
