Wow Just finished my first time Phone Banking for Edwards [View All]

[unapatriciated]

On one of my calls I spoke to a "Reagan Democrat". He said he was going to sit this election out. He used all the repug terms and misinformation to describe all three candidates. We had a lot in more in common than most of you would think(except the Reagan supporting)...He is retired pro union and about my age. After a little light hearted sparring regarding what Reagan really did for the working class and unions. We spoke on the issues and he agreed things needed to change. To sum it up he agreed to visit Edwards site and read up on where he stands on the issues. He also said maybe he should re-think his stance on not voting. My point is there are many "conservative democrats" who are really liberals at heart. We just need to let them know how much we have in common. We do that by discussing not yelling and mudslinging.
