Blog For Change...
Dear MoveOn blogger,
With less than 10 days until the historic 2006 election, you can use
your blog to help Democrats win key House and Senate races across
the nation.
Join Daily Kos, MyDD, and other blogs in spreading the word about
MoveOn's cutting-edge Call for Change program—which allows regular
people to mobilize targeted voters from their home computer and
phone.
Can you write about Call for Change on your blog, and post the web
graphic on your site? Here's the coding for the graphic:

In 2006, Democratic voter turnout matters big-time. Many races will
be decided by just hundreds of votes—and those races will determine
the future of Congress. MoveOn's Call for Change program allows
people with busy lives to spend as little as 15 minutes mobilizing
voters in key races from their home computer and phone.
The goal is to make 5 million calls this election season—2 million
have already been made. Here's what some MoveOn members have
reported back:
This is easier than any political calling I have done. The print is
large, you click on the screen rather than filling in tiny boxes. I
like being able to call from home.
–Shelby, Spokane, WA
The best part is the flexibility of the program. I can call when my
schedule permits, in small time slots: while I'm waiting for a fax,
or have a half hour to spare.
—Diana, Los Angeles, CA
The tools, the script, the ease in which you can do this is
wonderful! It could not be easier, and you can make a lot of calls
in a short amount of time.
–Tomi, The Woodlands, TX
Several major bloggers have already asked their readers to
participate in Call for Change. Here's a sampling of what they said:
You want to do something for the election, but only have an hour or
three to spare? Consider MoveOn's Call For Change...Seems like a
great way to work on GOTV without having to make a serious time
commitment. Remember, we'll only realize our big gains this November
if we outwork the other side.
–Markos, Daily Kos1
In the most sophisticated phone banking program ever produced in
American politics, MoveOn.org has created a program to call [five]
million key voters in 50 key House districts and more than half a
dozen Senate campaigns...it is amazing stuff.
–Chris Bowers, MyDD2
