Thanks for the thread! If anyone is in a Red State like mine, you can start calling into other states using your cell phone minutes and on weekends it is free. Please sign up at:

My recommendation in order to make as many calls as possible is not to follow the lengthy script. I would tell the person that answers who you are and you are calling at the request of Senator McCain and Governor Palin to ask for their vote. Ask them if they have any questions and be sure to thank them for their time and their vote for Senator McCain and Governor Palin. That’s when you find out if they were playing you along. Most people I have had say they are definitely voting for McCain/Palin and some have said they are voting for Palin when they vote for McCain — I tell them works for me!

Keep a cheat sheet close if they have questions. Be nice and polite and if someone is obnoxious thank them for their time and hang up. Don’t get in a fight with some idiot because you cannot win and it waste time.

If you have any questions, please freep mail me — been making calls for over six weeks for McCain/Palin for our regional coordinator. The phone bank list at McCain’s website will enable a lot more people to make calls into Battleground States.

If you have the time, please help make calls into other states that are Battleground States. Let’s win this one for America!

Weirdest dang election campaign since '72 and my first vote for President.. Nixon. :-}

A man walks towards a glass door on which a placard depicting US Democratic candidate Senator Barack Obama is displayed in Hong Kong. Obama has rushed to the side of his gravely ill 85-year-old grandmother in Hawaii, leaving the White House trail behind in a highly unusual move just 11 days before the election.

I would hardly say Obama rush'd to grammy's side.. something smells..

When making calls you have to tell people at the end “This call was paid for by McCain/Palin 2008 at 703-418-2008.”

Time is short and after years of calling have come to the conclusion that people that make up the scripts have never made calls or received them. Shorter the better!

Thanks for the link. I never realized we could do this without the official okey-dokey of the campaign.
