We have 40 or so days left. We have work to do.
If you are willing to make 20-40 or more phone calls for McCain, follow the directions here. I've done it and it's easy.
HOW IT WORKS
1. REGISTER at JohnMcCain.com
2. FILL OUT this page: http://poll.johnmccain.com/citizens.aspx
3. Check the item "Participate in a phone bank" in step 2.
4. WAIT for a link be email from McCain, or, try visiting http://www.johnmccain.com/PhoneBank/ right away.
WHAT HAPPENS?
The screen will display phone number and names, with the script to use. It has a way to note the disposition of each call. After 20 calls, the system pauses to give you an hour break before your next 20 calls.
Many county Republican Victory offices have phone banks available to make calls. I’ve been to our local office twice, making over 300 calls. This way, the state GOP tracks the results, and deletes invalid numbers. Our county Victory Office even provides food and drink while we are there.
This online system also tracks results and weeds out wrong numbers. Just so you know.
I received two phone calls on Saturday within an hour from John McCain’s campaign.
The call was to my cell phone and the caller asked for me by name. Both calls were from local (305 area code) numbers. I couldn’t figure out how they got my cell phone number or name because I haven’t contributed to either John McCain’s campaign or the RNC this year. I did send an e-mail earlier to the RNC telling them they weren’t getting anymore of my $ unless and until they started supporting Conservatives, but don’t remember providing anything other than my e-mail address.
Anyway, I told the canvasers that I was voting for John McCain and that my most important issue was national security. They also asked me if I was willing to show my support for John McCain...I told them I was going to show my support for John McCain by voting for him :-)
Thanks for the info. It won’t change my mind. I prefer getting away from the computer and meeting/greeting fellow conservatives in person while we continue the grass roots effort.
I just made another 20 calls. Now for my hour break (after 20 calls, they won’t give you more numbers until an hour has passed).
I’m still waiting for the stickers I ordered on Labor Day.
BTTT
I have not had any undecided. Many McCain/Palin. Had a few nasty bho supporters who I reminded “I didnt call to argue with them and have a great day”.
I dont think so. You get the list of 20 numbers, so the McCain campaign know who called those numbers. It’s not random. It’s very well organized. I enjoyed it.
I do not like the idea that any person can log in and be given people's names and phone numbers. It "feels" different to me if the information is given for use at a campaign phone bank, used onsite, and then handed back in.
I didn't like it when I found out Obama was doing it. I don't like McCain doing it either.

Yea, the BO supporters can get nasty - very nasty in fact.

Giving you a bump for a great campaigning idea... I am volunteering mega hours at my local center doing phone banking but this is fantastic for folks who can’t travel or don’t have easy access to a local office.
Bump and Good luck!!!
