OH-05 and VA-01: Virtual Phonebanking

(From the diaries – James L.)

There is still time left for activists around the country to have an efffect on Tuesday’s special congressional elections in Virginia and Ohio.

The Ohio Democratic Party has virtual phone banking opportunities to support Robin Weirauch in her attempt to defeat Bob Latta in OH-05. Making the calls is easy, and you can complete a batch of calls in 30 minutes or less.

Email phonebank4robin@gmail.com if you would like to participate in that program.

I just found out that Barack Obama has set up a virtual phonebank dashboard to assist Phil Forgit in VA-01.

Now is our opportunity to make a difference right now.

UPDATE: I have no idea how many calls have been made for Robin Weirauch, but 6 Barack Obama supporters have only made about 100 calls for Phil Forgit’s campaign. We have 2 more days after today to make a difference in these elections.

OH-05: Google Bomb Bob Latta

So I was over at OpenLeft earlier and Chris Bowers had a great idea for a search enging optimization campaign targeting Bob Latta

Now, as you are all aware, Bob Latta is the Republican nominee running in a very Republican Ohio District. However, a confluence of events have led to Bob Latta being vulnerable in the upcoming special election.

In honor of Chris Bower’s suggested search engine optimization, I have composed the following stanzas:

Don’t vote Bob Latta

Bob Latta is no hero

no, no, Bob Latta

Vote Robin Weirauch

Bob Latta is wrong for you

no, no, Bob Latta

Bob Latta Bob Latta Bob Latta

There, I feel better.
