The group Organizing for America has sent out an email(see below) announcing their intention to help the liberal candidate Tim Bishop retain his seat.
Organizing for America is a community organizing project of the Democratic National Committee.[1][2][3] Founded after the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama, the group seeks to mobilize supporters in favor of Obama's legislative agenda."
If this doesn't make you angry, it should. Please, let's all unite to send ultra-liberal Tim Bishop packing. Please call Randy's campaign office and volunteer to do whatever you can to ensure that Tim Bishop is not reelected.
Hi—We’ve had a sudden surge in Organizing for America volunteers who have signed up to come out from Manhattan and Brooklyn on Sunday to help us canvass. They’re fired up. Are you? We really, really need local volunteer drivers and canvassers to pair with them.
Will you help? They’re motivated to help our guy! So let’s match their spirit!
Republicans are waging a nastier and nastier voter suppression campaign against Tim Bishop in particular. They want Democrats to get demoralized and stay home and are spending millions to try and make that happen. We have to get out there and push back!!! Talking to voters is the best way to oppose these tactics: No to buying elections and no to smear campaigns…Our volunteers are fired up: It’s contagious so join us!
Sunday we’re meeting at Ronkonkoma RR Station at 11:15 to canvass Lake Grove and Ronkonkoma area. If you can’t join us, please come to:
∑ Our Organizing for America-Brookhaven meeting on Monday 10/4—the last meeting before Election Day—to sign up for the many volunteer opportunities available in this tightening, nail-biting election!
