Phonebank to turn out voters with Democracy North Carolina:
In 2004, dozens of volunteer citizens engaged in hours of phonebanking in the 2 week period prior to the election. In a collaboration with other non-profit organizations, over 20,000 voters across North Carolina were called in this non-partisan Get-Out-The-Vote effort.
A similar event is being planned for 2006 beginning Monday, October 23. Our offices are located at 105 W. Main Street, Carrboro NC 27510. Our hours are:
Monday- Thursday, 6PM- 9 PM (excluding October 31, Halloween)
Saturday, 12 PM- 3 PM
If interested in signing up or you have questions, please call 967-9942 or 1-888-OUR- VOTE. You can also email info@democracy-nc.org

I have never volunteered before, but as a Democrat, and with the stakes so high, I am able to do volunteer work if you are in need. I am free to work at anytime. If you need someone feel free to E-Mail me. Thanks, Dave McCurdy.

Statistically speaking, in
Statistically speaking, in Orange County it's still worth making the calls. I helped run a "non-partisan" voter registration campaign for the UNC Young Democrats in 2004. The table I handled registered over a hundred Republicans, but easily twice as many independents and three times as many Democrats. I just counted them as an operating expense and moved on with my life.
But if you want to be seriously partisan, I can definitely put you to work in Northside. :)
Wait, this is a non-partisan
Wait, this is a non-partisan GOTV effort? Meaning, I might be calling Republicans asking them to vote?
Really?
Seriously?
