Hello Super Vols!
I really have to thank you guys for coming out and working so hard. I am truly overwhelmed by all the support and assure you it will make a difference in this election!
Of the 28 non-targeted states making calls to battleground states, TN was #7! (This is including giant states like California and Texas!)
The campaign feels that NC is the most pivotal state at this time. The race is neck and neck and the McCain camp has started the tricks. They are placing uniformed security personnel (police look-a-likes) at polling locations to deter African American voters and their good friend Rudy is making robocalls into NC. McCain has begun dumping massive resources into the state. If we can make their calls for them, the Obama campaign can put all their people on the ground!
I encourage you to have phone bank parties in your homes this week or canvass your neighborhoods and encourage people to early vote. If you need help from us for phone or walk lists for this, feel free to give us a call! We will be phone banking in the office every night this week between 5pm-9pm to contact as many Knox County voters as we can.
Tony Brown( [email protected] ) will be organizing daily canvasses at 11:00am and 3:00pm to Get Out The Vote in District 1. Ian Orr, Chris Ivy, and Kyle Tharp will be heading up the campus effort and you can join them daily on the pedestrian walkway or hook up with them to canvass Fort Sanders, contact [email protected].
The National Campaign has asked us to help them win North Carolina and though I truly believe we have a shot to win Tennessee, if we can win NC then we will win the election!
We ask that anyone who is able please go to NC. We can help get you connected and many trips will be leaving from this office. Those who can�t travel are asked to have phone banks to NC in their homes or join a phone bank near you. We will be calling NC beginning Saturday through election day. If you can help with this, please contact us. (Remember to bring your cell phone and charger.)
We also have a need for poll watchers on election day. This job requires someone who is extremely personable and observant. If you think this might be you, give us a reply. There will be a training for this Wednesday night.
If you or someone you know needs a ride to the poll (or wants to give rides) please contact Kim Webber at [email protected].
The Election Night Party will be at the Convention Center and there is a VIP party at the Sunsphere for the hard working vols. Tickets will be awarded first to those who have put in volunteer hours.
This is the final stretch�let�s win this thing! YES WE CAN!
Gloria Johnson
