In 36 hours, it'll be too late to volunteer. Too late to make phone calls, too late to go door to door, too late to give money. The votes will be cast, and all we'll be able to do is watch the reports roll in. But for now, there's one last opportunity to act.
Across America, a grassroots force of over 70,000 passionate MoveOn members have worked night and day to identify hundreds of thousands of Kerry supporters in swing-state neighborhoods who aren't yet committed to voting. If we get these people to the polls, we really could provide the margin of victory. But frankly, right now, we don't have enough volunteers to be sure we can get the job done. For the last time in this election cycle, we need your help.
Those of us in the safe states are hosting over a thousand phone parties tomorrow where we'll call the Kerry supporters we've identified in Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin -- the most critical swing states. We'll make sure they have everything they need to vote. If they need a ride to the polls, we'll help them get one. If they need to know where their polling place is, we'll tell them. If they just need a kick in the butt to get out and vote, we'll gently provide that, too.
Can you join us tomorrow at one of these parties? All you need to bring is a cell phone. Find a phone party in your area at:

And if there is no party in your neighborhood, please consider hosting one. You can set up your own party at:

We'll start calling when the polls open and stop when the last polls in Iowa close. But even if you can't get away for the whole day, a lunch break or a few hours in the evening or before work could make all the difference. We need callers until 10pm, ET.
Two years ago, beating Bush seemed impossible. He had the highest approval rating of any President in modern history. He controlled all three branches of government. But then he invaded Iraq.The economy took a dive. The deficits went up. And millions of Americans stood up to take back their country.
Now, he's holding on for dear life. And it's within our power to tip him over the edge tomorrow.
All the experts agree that what will finally make the difference is which side does a better job at getting its supporters to the polls. And these phone parties are one of the best ways to make that happen. We've targeted voters who are likely to support Kerry. But without our calls, statistics show that a large portion of them just won't get around to it. In an election that could come down to a few hundred votes, we've got to make sure that every last one of these people gets to the polls.
Join us at a phone party tomorrow. You can sign up right now, at:

Together, tomorrow, we'll make history.
