Down To the Wire; Claire Needs Your Help

A few words from Paul Rola.

We are coming down to the wire. It has been shown (by Republicans) that elections are won in the last couple of weeks of the campaign. We need every available body to help in canvassing or phone banking this weekend, through next week and next weekend and especially on election day.
Will you help us win this election for Claire and candidates all up and down the Democratic ticket and for ourselves!

Time is getting short. Campaign is heating up. Talent is going negative. We have to dig out every vote to make sure Claire wins in November. It was pointed out recently, 1 more vote from every precinct for Ms. Carnahan in the 2002 election and Talent would not be in congress today. Can one vote make a difference?

-in 1645 - one vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England.
-in 1649 - one vote caused Charles 1 of England to be executed.
-in 1776 - one vote gave America the English language instead of German.
-in 1845 - one vote brought Texas into the Union.
-in 1868 - one vote saved President Andrew Jackson from impeachment.
-in 1876 - one vote changed France from monarchy to a republic.
-in 1923 - one vote gave Adolph Hitler leadership of the Nazi party.

If you could turn one voter; how important is it?...think about it. We need all the help we can get. We need all of you to get to an MPV office in the next two weeks for one of the shifts below to show our support for Claire. Don't forget the "Drag a friend to Victory" program; where YOU can win fabulous prizes! (gkcdfa.org/?q=drag...)
