Call ANYONE you know in Swing states that might Vote for Romney and REMIND them how close it is.

TOTAL VANITY | 11-5-12 | Crimson Elephant

I don't do VANITIES often at all, but it occurs to me that a reminder of an obvious thing you can do to help is to call, tweet, email, facebook or text anyone you know in a swing state who is thinking about/planning to vote for Romney but might let life get in the way.

Implore on them it is important they go and ACTUALLY do it. Also you can ask them to call others they may know.

It is so easy to fall into the "one vote won't matter" trap. But reminding a couple of people, who will vote and if those people remind another, or possibly help them in some way to allow them the time to vote.

Most people know someone who needs a little NUDGE to get things done. Maybe a fringe relative who would need help to go etc.

It is probably too late to change a mind, but 1,000 people calling a few people, who may call a few people, who may text a couple of people, who might tweet a few hundred people... might squeeze a few extra votes in Ohio, WI, Iowa, PA etc.

Suggesting this to someone you KNOW will go vote may help too...they may know people who are prone to not go.

I apologize for the vanity, and it is so simplistic it seems stupid to suggest it. Maybe it is STUPID to suggest it, but pyramid schemes work for awhile for a reason. There is a mushroom effect to such things.

I think the turnout is there, it just has to TURN OUT.

Goes without saying I think this is the most important election of everyone posting here's lifetime.

Do not apologize. It is a good thread. We have a call station here on the NW side of San Antonio calling Republican voters. The Democrats have one on the NE side calling Democrats but they are also calling voters in Fla. Who knew? ...and thanks for the thread.

Almost all our family lives in NC, we talked to them this week and they’re all pumped to vote. A few of them were obama supporters in 2008, now supporting Romney!

I'm putting this on my Facebook page:

How about paying someone $20 to make sure they get there. that is what i had to do for my grandson, he claims he doesn’t have gas money to get there. I’ll be working the polls, so i’ll know if he was just blowing smoke!!

Don't let anyone forget that they're not just voting against Obama but also to send his bizarre circus packing. Some of the ringleaders;

Valerie Jarrett- the unelected leader of the free world
Hillary Clinton
Leon Panetta
Eric Holder
Hilda Solis
Kathleen Sebelius
Janet Napolitano
Ambassador Susan Rice

Plus a cast of thousands including Czars accountable to no one and anti American morons too numerous to mention.

I have 1 person in Ohio and another in PA switching to Romney.

We have an absolutely crazy phenomenon going on here in Iowa. Our Republican State Central Committee has become invested with Ron Paul kooks who may, or may not vote Romney. It's probably a given that some will not. We also have another SCC member who is a pastor and thinks Romney is not pro-life enough and is actually making anti-Romney posts on FB.

I have no idea how pervasive is this thought but it's definitely here. They believe they are too righteous to vote Romney.

There's likely to be a house cleaning at RPI after this is over.
