Dear Supporters for Change -
There are hundreds of volunteers who want to work for Barack Obama this fall in the swing states, but a lot of these volunteers don't have the resources to get where they are needed. http://www.travelforchange.org/ is an innovative new website that connects volunteers directly with sponsors so they can knock on doors in the states that will decide this election. The site has already found sponsors for more than 80 people in one month.
If we knock on enough doors we can win this year. The statistic to trust from FiveThirtyEight.com: for every twelve voters we talk to at their door, equals, on average one additional vote for our candidate (http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/09/on-road-grand-junction-colorado.html).
In states like Colorado, Virginia, and Ohio where it could very well come down to a few hundred votes that will make the difference.
You can get involved: if you have 25,000 miles on any airline, you likely have enough miles to sponsor a verified volunteer's trip to work in a swing state! Visit the site if you want to buy a ticket using money or miles (we suggest miles!). Sponsors are really needed to help send all of our get-out-the-vote volunteers.
Note: if you wish to support members from Delegate Dan Schneider's group that is travelling to Colorado, check the bios on our webpage and find target the individuals who identify themselves as members of "Dan's Delegation".
Pass this on!
Sincerely,
Alisa Whitfield

Dan's Top Diatribes
1. "Lincoln" Dan sounds off on how the 21st Century Republican Party is no longer the party of Lincoln. To avoid further casual, conservative revisionism, he poses a unique contest of vigilance: winner gets to select something for him to break.
2. "Superman" Using his favorite superheroes in an analogy, Dan makes the argument as to why no Republican should win in November.
3. "Old Argument Odd Package" Dan breaks down John McCain's acceptance speech.
4. “Russian Chess Masters" Dan offers a unique theory as to why Russia may have invaded Georgia.
5. “Can Rock and Roll Save the World? Let's see...” This one isn’t a rant. It’s a plan.
