Phonebanks to Take Back Congress & the NY State Senate every Monday to Thursday. Chelsea & Midtown East: RSVP for exact location at http://www.actnow.org/
Tuesdays & Thursdays in 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 House incumbent Jim Gerlach. On Thursdays, callers are targeting voters in Connecticut’s 4th District to help Diane Farrell defeat Republican Chris Shays. (And boost turnout for Ned Lamont at the same time.)

More info and RSVP at http://www.actnowny.org/
Mondays & Wednesdays in Midtown to take back our State Senate. Volunteers at a landline phonebank 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.

Message from Mark: "I am a one-man operation, although assisted greatly by some volunteers, and, now and then, by people paid by others for one-time projects. There is no shortage of skilled, dedicated folks out there who want to help me. There is, however, nothing I can pay them with, unless you decide you can contribute something."
