I've been a local delegate to my state convention, I've worked on a few campaigns in my very distant past. I've done phone work and precinct walking in my earlier years, but now I'm just a GOTVer, and by that, I mean I drive people to the polls who don't drive anymore, or have a tough time dealing with public transportation or who can't really afford a couple of cab rides.
