Make Those Phone Calls and Knock on Those Doors!

Survey after survey has shown that conservatives have the momentum in the upcoming midterms, now less than one week away.  However, is this passion, energy and excitement being put to good use?  I, for one, can’t answer that question, but you can.  How, you may ask?  Well, what are you doing after you attend a campaign rally for your candidate of choice?  Going straight home?  Running a few errands?  Picking up a couple extra campaign buttons or bumper stickers?  That is fine, but more can and should be done at this stage in the game.  Yeah, I’m not letting you off the hook on this one folks.

If you truly want to be a difference maker in this election than you NEED to sign up for one or multiple get-out-the-vote (GOTV) shifts that SHOULD be readily available at the campaign rallies you are attending.  Even though momentum is on the side of conservatives, races across the country at every level will go down to the wire.  Reaching as many undecided or leaning voters through personal phone calls or door-knocking is of the utmost importance at this critical juncture for campaigns.

Believe it or not, history has proven time and time again that a large percentage of voters don’t make up their mind until the last three days before an election, and Midwest voters are certainly no exception to this rule.  With well-coordinated GOTV efforts in place, campaigns have historically been able to make up two to three percentage point gaps in polls.  Just think, that one last personal touch that targeted voters receive through a call or knock at their door may be the deciding factor in their voting decision and could very well put your campaign on top on election night.

We all have given up weekends and countless hours during the weekday attending rallies/events of various sorts throughout the past two years.  I applaud you for doing this, yet I urge you to spend a few more hours in the coming week participating in GOTV activities.  Given the current political environment and your dedication to the conservative movement, I don’t think this is too much to ask and nor should you.

Come November 3^rd, conservative candidates will either become one of two things: a former candidate, or candidate-elect.  I kinda like the ring to the latter and think that you do too.  So make it happen people, we can do this, get on the phones, and knock on those doors!

Let’s all take a well-deserved break after Election Day knowing that we did everything we could to take a step in the right direction toward bringing back the principles of accountability, limited government and economic freedom to our country.
