We're trying to entice Boston and NH people to make last-minute spur-of-the-moment decisions to come up here. So the word needs to get out on blogs very quickly this morning -- with the following talking points:
(A) We are providing FREE HOTEL ROOM SPACE for anyone from out-of-state who can make a spur-of-the-moment decision to drive up here, and volunteer. We have actually managed to recruit a few people at the last minute, and I know we can do more if the word gets out.
(B) The hotel is in South Portland. We have a block of rooms for tonight and tomorrow night, so people can stay until Wednesday.
(C) We're down by 4 points in the last poll -- this election is coming down to the last day-and-a-half. We could very well lose, simply because we don't have enough troops on the ground. New Hamsphire and Boston folks can easily get here -- and we will put them up if need be.
(C) People who sign up at the website will get a call back within 15 minutes.
(D) Our phone number -- someone will always answer it -- is 415-935-4552.
