Progressive Democrat Issue 89: MANHATTAN ACTION

Since Democrats are slipping in the polls, if you can't donate, PLEASE volunteer. Here are some ways you can help right here in our area. All actions are from Democracy for NYC and ACT NOW:

Take Back Congress - Landline Phone Banking Every Tuesday and Thursday:

ACT NOW is hosting regular Tuesday and Thursday evening landline phone banking from Chelsea. This is traditional phone banking - no predictive dialing, no computer skills needed.

On Tuesdays, the calls are to targeted voters in Pennsylvania's 6th District, to help DFA-endorsed Lois Murphy dislodge Bush Rubberstamp House incumbent Jim Gerlach.

On Thursdays, we're targeting voters in Connecticut's 4th District, to help top-notch Democratic challenger Diane Farrell defeat long-time Republican D.C.-insider and Iraq War apologist Chris Shays. (And, boost turnout for Ned Lamont at the same time.)

More info and RSVP at: www.actnowny.org


Seize our State Senate - Landline Phone Banking Every Monday and Wednesday:

ACT NOW continues weekly phone banks from Midtown East to take back our State Senate!

What will we be doing? We're going to be using landlines to do low-pressure Voter ID and/or Volunteer Recruitment calling -- not undecided voter persuasion -- to dramatically increase Democratic voter turnout in the most competitive State Senate races. This is a great way for first-time callers to get started.

Why care about the State Senate? If you care about fair elections, education, transportation, the environment, healthcare, security, and other major issues in New York, you should care a lot about winning back the New York State Senate. Now that reformer Eliot Spitzer is likely to be New York's next governor, it's even more important to have a Democratic legislature in place.

Please note: There will be no phone bank on Monday, October 2nd.
