ACTION NEEDED: Make Calls for Obama/Biden

from MoveOn:

It's a scary time. The stock market's in free-fall, and no one knows what's going to happen.

It all feels very much out of our control. But here's one thing we all can do: Take 20 minutes to make sure John McCain and Sarah Palin don't end up in charge of our economy exactly when we most need leaders we can trust.

Our goal is to make 40,000 calls this week to recruit swing-state volunteers for Obama. We've got two days left to get these done, and we're almost there!

Can you take 20 minutes today to make a few calls?

These are quick, simple calls that you can make from home. You'll be calling fellow MoveOn members in battleground states to ask them to volunteer at their local Obama campaign offices. They work: We've heard from many new volunteers that the recruitment call from another MoveOn member was the nudge they needed to get them to sign up.

And they're really easy to make; you just need to be able to be online and on the phone at the same time. You can even make a practice call before you get started.

We can't afford to leave this election to chance. DO SOMETHING - help.
