GOTV Efforts
This is it, folks! All of the phone calls, all of the door knocks, all of the letters stamped and envelopes sealed, comes down to the next 4 days. So many of you have put so much effort into this race for the US Senate, and I can't begin to tell you how much it's appreciated.
The question remains, though: will you stand with us over the next 96 hours?
The truth is, this race is no longer just about Virginia. It's not about Jim Gilmore and Mark Warner, it is a referendum on the direction our country will be taking for decades to come. The bottom line is that, should the Democrats win this seat, it is very likely that they will have a 60-vote majority in the Senate. That means that there will be no check on their liberal agenda.
To help you grasp just what that could mean, our friends at the Wall Street Journal have put together a list of bills that were passed by the Democratic House last year, and died in the Senate:
"Take a look at what House Democrats (who aren't burdened with a filibuster) unilaterally passed last year: The biggest tax increase in history; card check, which eliminates secret ballots in union organizing elections; an "energy" bill that lacks drilling; vastly expanded government health insurance; new powers to restrict pharmaceutical prices. Add to this a global warming program, new trade restrictions (certainly no new trade deals) and fewer private options in Medicare."
This is just in the last year alone! Don't forget the other pet projects of the left that would surely come up: massive slashes in defense spending, a reinstatement of the Clinton Gun Ban, and the return of the Fairness Doctrine to silence our staunchest supporters on the airwaves.
We cannot let this happen. We need you to go to your nearest Victory Center (see below) and volunteer for our GOTV efforts in support of McCain/Palin/Gilmore and our Congressional Candidates!!
Click here to see what Victory center is near you.
Do not let yourself wake up in the morning on November 5th with Barack Obama in the White House and Mark Warner in the Senate, wondering if you could have done more.
So what are you waiting for? Time is running out.

Charlottesville Daily Progress Endorses Jim Gilmore!
Sometimes support comes from the places you least suspect it, like the daily newspaper in the most liberal city in the Commonwealth of Virginia!
Charlottesville Daily Progress
This year’s top voter concern, no surprise, is the economy. And on that measure, Mr. Gilmore’s principles and, yes, even his well-known stubbornness will better serve Virginia in the U.S. Senate.
