Show of hands. Who here brought in votes this cycle for Dem Candidates? I'm proud of you!

3. Voter turnout is even more critical in Dem areas.

When we get complacent - because everyone is a Dem anyway - we lose. Turnout is critical.

For the next cycle, there are lots of things you can do to help out which aren't cold calls.

* Postcards (there are several campaigns - I participate in Postcards to Swing States)
* Texting
* Voter protection for early voting and election day voting
* Ballot cure (this is closer to cold-calls, but you would be calling people who already voted, but were forced to cast a provisional ballot. Some of these people need to return to prove something (name change, address change, etc.) before their vote will be counted. These are the low hanging fruit of cold calls - since they save a vote already cast.)
