I sincerely hope no one takes offense at any of my statements, but with the anticipated fraud, President Bush's campaign will need every vote possible...please don't let this opportunity to affect history pass you by.

[Legion04]

thanks for your story...great points....people: GET OUT AND VOTE! We have to get out and help others get to the polls on election day, and make sure that President Bush wins this election again!

[IrishGOP]

Great post, I'm glad you had met the president. I think you have good points to make and I'm glad you spoke up!!

[Glenn]

Great story. Thanks for sharing it. And your points are well taken.

[areafiftyone]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! I am now totally jealous! You wouldn't happen to have a picture you could post now would you?

[ken5050]

Thanks for sharing....and congrats to you...can you post the pic of you and W?..

[mountaineer]

But, if you’re able, the time has come to harness the enthusiasm, step away from the computer, even if just for a little while and make the commitment to do anything and everything you can to help re-elect President Bush.

This bears repeating. President Bush doesn't need keyboard commandos preaching to the choir, he needs people talking to neighbors, offering "shut-in" Republicans rides to the polling place, phone bank warriors, etc.

No offense, Diva!!! God bless you and the volunteers.

I am a county chair out in the boonies of the SW of WI. We will have the POTUS and Laura here tomorrow. We are pumped!!!!

I got to shake both his hands at the rally here in May! The man is magnetic and awesome and all I could say was Thank You over and over again!!!! And I am never speechless!

We are facing threats of massive protests from the left. They will be in Halloween costume and people are on alert. Just praying we can handle it alright after the President leaves. That is when I expect retaliation from the Donks.

Otherwise, we are very excited and energy is high. I have volunteers working the event today for set up and tomorrow. We have people putting out loads of signs and planning on lining the route for the motorcade. I hope we get the press to take some pics!

Thank you and the volunteers for all that you do. We volunteers across the state know how much it matters!

No offense taken; you made some terrific points! We will do all we can to help re-elect awesome President George W. Bush. My husband is having surgery this Friday, so we are making sure he votes absentee, just in case he's not feeling well on Tuesday.

[Arpege92]

I'm not offended at all, because I know I'm a FRee Republic junkie. Where else can a person go to not only keep up on political issues, freep polls, and enjoy some of the most hysterical laughter caused by the talented humor of most FReepers?

You are correct about doing something more....and congrats on meeting President Bush!!!!!

[texaschick]

You had me at "rabid Packer fan"

Thanks for the reminder that actions sometimes speak louder than words. We all need to do what we can to claim victory in November.

[unbalanced but fair]

I couldn't have said it better. How lucky you are to have met the President! But we all need to check with our local Bush/Cheney committee and see if they need any help. I passed out fliers and will be driving people to the polls. If you work during the day, you can still make phone calls or check with the seniors that you know to see if they need a ride. Even one hour of your time will help!

[SueRae]

THank you for sharing your story..and you're right, we all need to get out there in these last few days and push to the finish. I'll be doing phone bank this weekend. Thanks for all your hard work

I'm trying baby, Lord knows how I'm trying!

" make the commitment to do anything and everything you can to help reelect President Bush."

I couldn't agree more! Good on you for your excellent Volunteer-ism in this noble campaign.
Over the course of this week I've had 4 ( count um, 4!)
different people , who were claiming to be undecideds shake
my hand in a promise to vote for George Bush , last week were 2 young college men making the same pledge. Along with these folks a few little kids saying " Mommy please vote for the President " , after they asked me why I was for Bush .
Their Mom was one who made the pledge.
This is in Hawaii now, a supposedly heavily Kerry place.
It's not , it's tipping ! A tide of common sense and patriotism is rising here. Let's all Roll to victory on 11/2 !

[prognostigaator]

At least two bttt's for this one.....!

[LouD]

Yeah, Diva - Gettin' it SAID!

In all seriousness - Listen to her!

We need your help! If, like us, you are fortunate enough to be in a battleground state, opportunities to help surround you.

If you don't live in a battleground state, travel to one. Go visit your cousin, or your college buddy, and spend Saturday through Tuesday helping to re-elect the President.

[Steven W.]

To Quote one Hanoi John French Kerry, "We've got your back" :)

[MadAnthony1776]

My wife and I moved to Racine in 2001. We're both voting for Bush. Hope that helps the cause.

[Mustng959]

~ I made it as far as the word “volunteers,” when President Bush instantly flashed a huge smile, while exclaiming “YEAH! THE VOLUNTEERS” put his arm around me and squeezed as the photographer’s camera flashed. ~

Thanks for the story, wasn't frivolous at all. I'd be proud to be able to share a story like that also. Keep up the good work!

As for the snippet above, its great to see that the President likes University of Tennessee football also! (wink)

Great post and thanks for sharing.

I've been encouraging people to call their local Republican office and volunteer even a few hours. It's fun and they can always find a job for you to do.

On 11/1 I am meeting with a group of people and we are going to work for many hours to ensure that the absentee ballots in our county, the largest county in South Carolina, are legitimate ballots.

We need to prevent voter fraud and there are many ways we can all help in that effort.

BTW, I have met the president 4 times when he was running in '04 and once was in a room when he stumped for now Governor Sanford post 9/11.

When he was running for the presidency, I told my husband he'd never win because he has so much charisma in person but it doesn't come across sometimes on television and in this day and age, if you can't make it on tv, you're lost. Shows you what I know :-)
