First of all, NOBODY from the NY area came as a result of the gazallion posts I placed here concerning this effort. I guess you guys out in NY or NJ really don't mind saying "President Kerry."

Whatever side gets their voters to the polls will win PA. This isn't about how much you like to read freerepublic or like playing armchair politics -- it's about getting your rear in gear and nudging voters to get to the polls. There were tons of voters we weren't able to visit simply because we didn't have the people necessary to do so.

You should have seen all the MoveOn.commies there -- folks this was about turnout, and while we kicked some tail, I'm afraid we were outgunned in terms of volunteers.

It's not too late to help make the next gazallion calls. If you live nearby to a PA county, call their office and go tomorrow night to make more calls. Better yet, call in sick, use a personal day if you have it, take a vacation day and head on over.

This cannot be said enuf. My freeping is way down this week because my wife and I are running the GOTV effort in about 35 precincts. Everyone's FREEPING should be way down because they are too busy getting-out-the-vote. In a close election, the only thing that matters is turn-out, not posts on FR. You can help by calling your state 96 (or 72) hour victory team and putting your next two days at their disposal. You'll have a lot of fun and meet lots of cool people in addition to helping W win the most important election since 1980.

There will be time to FREEP on Wednesday.

The DNC pays their "volunteers". Hard for the GOP to go up against cold hard cash, I suppose.

Sounds like you did a great job. Kudos to you and all PA GOP volunteers.

Thank you for your work!

I would love to see an ad or a phone callout to target black Christians with the following point:

John Kerry stated that he personally believed that abortion and homosexual marriage were wrong but he didn't feel that he should legislate it for others.

Where would we be now if Abraham Lincoln had taken such a stand on slavery?

Vote for George W. Bush and take a stand for the traditional marriage and the sanctity of life.

Well done. Don't worry about the DU commies. Quality trumps quantity any day. They probably do more harm than good in the ground war.

That statement will leave you with egg on your face as I know of six from New York who have been there since Friday but cannot say it was the result of your gazallion posts.

Come on folks, we all have to make an effort to get the vote out. Sitting here and agonizing over the polls isn't going to get us very far. WE have to do all we can to help gotv.

I'm in Ca and have been going down to our local rep headquarters since September. In the past 3 weeks, I've been going down every day, worked the registration table at the mall a few times, walked 3 precincts, have made phone calls a few times when at headquarters.

A few hours is nothing compared to having to live with a Kerry presidency for at least 4 years.

The president needs your help.

My Mom went to church on Saturday in Scranton --- one flier on her windshield, one on her door handle.

My Dad went to a different church on Sunday morning -- same thing with the fliers.

The pro-lifers are out in full force at area masses!

Not sure if church employees or church volunteers were doing the fliers.... or if an outside group was putting them out.

Everyone near Pa get out tomorrow and help. ive been making people watch Stolen Honor... it helps make up their mind and motivates those that werent. Have to work? Make calls tomorrow nite, go see neighbors.
As for those Kerryites knocking on doors,(theyve been to my house) if you ask them even the most benign question, such as tell me why you support Kerry, they beat a hasty retreat. I was laughing at the reactions I got. They dont have a clue.

Keep up the great work!

I am sorry you had fewer people than the commies. Rs are so restrained... Anyway, I am running a call center on Tuesday and perhaps many other FReepers are active in their local areas. Great work, 1stFreedom!

Thank you for your efforts. This might cheer you up. It is a GOP sign waving at Heinz field before the Steelers beat the New England Patriots. Note: I personally watched a Kerry thug punch the sign out of the hands of the lady on the far left. I did not get a picture of that. Of course the girlie man went after the woman instead of one the guys.

Good work. If you can pull PA to the Bush column, we might have a chance to turn CA.

Awesome, wonderful post! Unlike the paid, indifferent hacks from MoveOn, sincere, passionate W workers like yourself DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Thanks for the hard work and you should be saluted for your effort!! Thank you!

I do have to call foul on your opening remark remark, though - the fact that nobody from the NY area responded to your call for help does not necessarily mean they were not doing other things to help the cause. So give them the benefit of the doubt!
