HELP! A humble yet urgent request to help Obama and Biden win in NC...

[SaveAmerica]

Hello, everyone! We've been working like crazy to get our entire group of Democrats into office in our red corner of North Carolina and now that it looks like we have a real chance to give Obama and Biden a win here, too, we're starting to work even harder than ever!!

You've heard that when we vote straight Dem ticket in NC, we're in danger of our vote for president not counting (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x508956). We have a print-out we plan on getting out to every Democrat in our county but we are low on funds to get them printed. This print-out will show how it is so important for Straight Ticket voters to also vote separately for president or their vote for Obama/Biden won't count. This one issue could be the difference for us to win in NC.

Another issue we're trying to head off at the pass is the crazy prices for gas here in Western NC. We live in Cabarrus County and our area has become very important for the Obama campaign. We are lining up volunteers to drive people to the polls on election day and we don't want them to be hindered by gas that is still $4.00 a gallon. We have a very large group of elderly voters here who want to be a part of this historic election who might not be able to if not given transportation to the polls.

If you are able to donate any amount of money to our County Democratic Party, we would be so appreciative. If you feel more comfortable mailing in a gas card for us to fill our volunteers' tanks starting on the first day of early voting (Oct. 16!!!) that would help so much, too. Even if it's for $10, 2 cards of $10 each will fill the tank of my favorite volunteer. She's a retired lady who was the first to sign up to drive people to the polls. There are many more like her on our volunteer list and together we can all make this happen.

Our web page is http://www.cabarrusdemocrats.org/index.cfm, the page for donating is http://www.cabarrusdemocrats.org/contribute/index.cfm?Fuseaction=contribute.

We have a PO box that you can use if you'd like to contact us that way or mail a gas card securely. It's

Cabarrus County Democratic Party
PO Box 452
Concord, NC

Add the word "SaveAmerica" to your correspondence and I will personally give you updates on our progress as we race toward a win for Obama and Biden in '08.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!
