I just got my most recent email from MoveOn.org. Yeah, I know, I don't like them. But I signed up for their email newsletter so I could keep an eye on them. Click "read more" for the text...

Dear MoveOn member, When your grandchildren ask where you were for the election of 2004, answer proudly - the front lines! This historic election will be won or lost in the last 72 hours, in a few battleground neighborhoods. If you can spend a few days on the road, please come join us as we get out the vote in these critical areas. It's fun work - MoveOn members tend to hit it off - and it could make all the difference on November 2nd.

Can you travel to a battleground state for the final 72 hours of this campaign, or the final weekend, or even just November 2nd? We'll make it easy for you to effectively connect with our work on the ground.

Over the past weeks, thousands of volunteers have hit the streets in our target precincts, knocking on doors and working to identify the more than 600,000 voters we'll be mobilizing on Election Day to take back the presidency. We need your help in the final days to remind each of them to vote and ensure they make it to the polls. Studies show that a reminder in the last days has an enormous impact, increasing by at least 12% the number of our target voters who will actually vote.

If at all possible, please come from Saturday, October 30th through Tuesday, November 2nd. By taking Monday and Tuesday off work, you'll make an incredible contribution. Even if you can't come for all four days, you can come for just Saturday and Sunday, or just for Election Day itself.

The states where we need your help are Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin.
