BLOGS FOR BUSH - The GOP Grassroots
While the Democrats have "outsourced" their grassroots efforts to "527" groups mostly interested in making sure the donations keep coming in, the Republican Party and Bush/Cheney '04 have really put the effort into doing something the Republican Party hasn't done in nigh on a century - making certain that we have a strong "ground game" for the end of the campaign. I've been tipped off about these numbers for three of the battleground States:

So, we're working really hard at it - I've done some of the calls out here in the sorta-battleground State of Nevada. If you haven't done anything yet then (a) Shame on you! and (b) get yourself here and do something.
You have no excuses! You have the time - get out there and help the President win this election! |
