So guys: If you care about winning this election and want to make sure the President we elected stays in office: you know what to do. Knocking on doors, making phone calls and registering voters TRANSLATES DIRECTLY INTO ELECTORAL MARGINS OF VICTORY.

(3,163 posts)Not just a smug "He's going to trounce Romney," but a reminder that he has a better ground organization because his supporters make it so, with a call to get together and make that happen. A call to arms.

(135 posts)Say it loud, Im a Democrat and Im Proud
Democratic Party Rally Song
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!
Some people say Im a liberal because I look ahead and not behind
Because I welcome new ideas and try to be gentle and kind
Some criticize me because I have different ideology
But Im also a loyal American, for that I make no apology
We have arguments about pro-life and pro-choice
It is my belief that every woman should have a voice
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!
One more time!
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!
Dont say that Im not a Christian because I dont do as you do
Dont decide what is good for me and I wont decide what is good for you
Most democrats believe in God and try to do as he commands
It is not your position to decide where we stand
Im someone who believes we can work through the stalemate
I believe in compromise and Im not driven by hate
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!
Of course, I would prefer a democrat as our president
But, no matter which political party, I pray that he be heaven sent
Im a proud democrat, loyal American, well educated and motivated
I will stand up for my beliefs and will not be intimidated
I hear many in the GOP say we need to take our country back
Well, this country belongs to me too, and that is a fact
Say it loud: Im a democrat and Im proud!

(35,354 posts)In 2008, Obama was a challenger. In 2012, he's the incumbent. Everyone in America knows that he's running, and he reaches people on a daily basis.
Even with that said, we should continue to knock on doors.

Working the ground really does matter so let's not take anything for granted and let's get to work!
