I can no longer physically make the rounds of door knocking in my neighborhood but I can do phone banking GOTV. If folks are reminded by a caller who is "your neighbor in Westville" and I mean that truthfully, it is a lot more powerful than a canned call. Plus, I get to hear what is on folks' minds. Often there is just a machine picking up but I always leave a message...the same "your neighbor" one I prefer to do in person but something is better than nothing.
