URGENT: Please help us keep the MA Senate seat
Karin
Last night Barack spoke to a rally in Massachusetts, urging everyone
to vote tomorrow to keep Ted Kennedy’s former Senate seat in Democrats
hands. He said, “If you were fired up in the last election, I need you
more fired up in this election.”
I’m answering that call. Tonight I’ll be making calls to the hundreds
of Massachusetts voters who are members of Democrats Abroad. Can you
join us? We’ll be at a central London location frantically calling
from 19:00 tonight – if you can help, just reply to this e-mail or
call me on 07976 628 674 for location details.
The race for this critical special election has become disturbingly
close – pollsters are now calling it “a toss up”. [Insert Nate Silver
Link] The final vote will be decided by which team can get their
voters to the polls, and the result of that vote will decide...
everything else. From final passage of health care reform to the
prospects for halting global climate change, every part of the
Democratic agenda will be harder to achieve if Republicans gain that
filibustering 41st Senate vote.
Fortunately, Americans Abroad still have time to cast their ballots.
Massachusetts does accept votes by e-mail and fax, so if you’re a
Massachusetts voter overseas but you didn’t get a ballot from the
state, you can still vote using the Federal Write in Absentee Ballot.
Just go to:
Fill out the online form, then print out the document and follow the
instructions.
If for whatever reason that doesn’t work for you, you can also
download a form from

Please forward this information to any MA voters you know – as long as
they get their ballots in before the polls close on Tuesday their vote
will count. And could make all the difference in the world.
Again, reply to this email if you can join us tonight for an emergency
call session. I called over 150 people yesterday, and found that about
half the people I spoke to hadn’t voted – didn’t know they could vote,
didn’t know there was an election, didn’t know it mattered.
Because I called, they will vote. It matters.
Thank you!
