1. perhaps
you should have one for people who will vote but hope that your family wont vote because they are religious right or other kind of repuke.

2. trying to volunteer
But I cant get a response back from the Ohio Dem Party on what help is needed!
Starting to question whether they want to take Ohio back or let Blackwell have the run of the place.

3. Volunteer for a specific campaign
They all need people.

7. My advice
Keep trying!! Things may be a bit unorganized, I assume, for all of us this time of year -- As a volunteer District Coordinator for the Dem Party in Nevada, I've got volunteers lined up but don't always have anything for them to do yet, epsecially those who will not or can not walk or call. I'll use them later for GOTV efforts.

We do need people, especially for GOTV as the election gets closer. Go into the Dem Party Headquarters. Keep calling them back. Offer to walk for a particular candidate or make phone calls -- that's what we are needing right now, and that's where we are low on volunteers. Offer to drop literature or attend a candidate event.

5. I voted all of the above unfortunately we lost but
cost the Republican to spend 12xs more than we did and we got 35% of the vote on a shoestring of a budget.

6. Working as a District Coordinator for the Democratic Party
So, essentially, working on several campaigns, and working on GOTV, etc.

10. Done some volunteer work, will do more
Our local resistance candidate will almost certainly lose by a wide margin by the flat-tax, warmongering, lied-about-term-limiting himself, anti-choice John Linder (F-GA). But it won't be for lack of my trying to talk some sense into local voters.

I don't want the Rethugs to believe that any of their seats are safe. I urge anyone who's got a poorly funded, doesn't-have-a-shot-in-hell-of-winning local Democrat as much support as you can muster.
