I've been saying all summer I was going to do it. I still haven't. I've donated probably close to a hundred -despite having a less than ideal economic situation, but I know how huge a difference making calls can be -especially since in this case the MAGATs are knocking on doors daily in bigger numbers cause they don't care about infection. The training call yesterday had over 1500 volunteers. That is just one shift out of several for one day. I'm feeling good about our chances, and will feel better once I actually get on top of calling.
Have you made any calls/ knocked doors, etc in this cycle yet?

On edit: also want to mention that the trainings you don't need anybody to call you for. You just sign up for it, and then pull it up at the link at the given time.

(8,332 posts)Thank you!
FWIW they said on the training that Mondays and Thursdays are the best time, but of course you have to do what works with your schedule.
Thanks so much for doing this!

(8,332 posts)Yeah I know they can go quickly but if you are getting ahold of people, it's a very good sign! Did you feel like you talked to a good chunk in the time you called?

(2,055 posts)I've been calling and texting for a few weeks now. Been a great experience. The folks who are voting for Joe are committed and energized. We just need to turn more out than the MAGA heads.
