Okay. So I thought I would be live blogging our Mini-Super Saturday.
Unfortunately we ran behind schedule almost from the start.
I got to Stratham, NH about 9:30 in the morning and met Eric Maurer,
Field Director in Rockingham County as well as Let's Get This Right and
McCainVictory08.com members Ashley, Ray and Connor. We spent an hour
making phone calls and then hit the road to Exeter for some door
belling for McCain-Palin, John Sununu and Jeb Bradley.
Show up to make phone calls for McCain-Palin and you never know who may show up.
So Meghan did show up. I think it is important to realize the importance the campaign is putting on the volunteer grass roots and net roots effort. As Meghan says in the interview, she has been traveling around to campaign headquarters to thank and rally the troops.
Towards the end of the video you can hear Meghan saying she wanted to talk to me and we got a chance to as we rolled on the Straight Talk Express to Boston College.
What we talked about was GOTV efforts and how important they are in every campaign.
I snagged the picture above from Meghan's Blog. The caption was "Brad Marston McCain e-Campaign Coordinator." I wish I was. I think I have done some good for the McCain campaign but at the end of the day, I am just a guy who waves a sign, sends an e-mail or makes a phone call.
Everyone who reads this post can do the same. Politics is like life. 90% is just showing up.
Don't let those free evening and weekend minutes go unused!
Don't let those Rollover minutes expire!
Let's use our Minutes for McCain-Palin 2008!
We can make 100,000 calls for McCain-Palin 2008 between now and November 4th. It is easy. Okay. It may not be fun but it has to be done.
You can make 20 calls in each session using the OnLine Phone Bank at www.JohnMcCain.com. It will take about 45 minutes depending on the number of people you actually reach.
If all the loyal McCain-Palin supporters who read this make just 20 calls a day between now and Election Day we can EASILY make 100,000 calls for McCain-Palin 2008 (if not more.)
Dear McCain Supporter,

Use your FREE Cellphone weekend minutes to make calls for McCain/Palin! We are targeting certain states, and ask our FANTASTIC McCain Google Group Volunteers to please make calls to the following states from the McCain website
Why are we targeting these states? Why isn't your state a targeted state?
We are focusing on 10 states that President Bush won in 2004 that are currently either "toss-ups" or leaning either McCain-Palin or Obama-Biden. We need to hold these states. Please help us do exactly that!
