This won't be easy - A note from Arkansas

A note from Arshad on the ground in Arkansas:

I'm here in Arkansas helping lead Bill Halter's Get-Out-The-Vote drive. So, I'm going to cut straight to the point.

Winning this won't be easy.

Blanche Lincoln has pulled out all the stops -- outspending by millions on T.V. -- and called in all her favors -- even convincing Bill Clinton to campaign down here and bash unions and progressives for supporting Bill Halter.

This won't be easy, but we will win this if you make calls to identified Bill Halter supporters in Arkansas and ask them to get out and vote right now.

Yes, I can make calls right now!
Yes, I can make calls tonight!
Yes, I can make calls tomorrow too!

These person-to-person phone calls are incredibly effective at motivating supporters to get out to vote.

Making the calls is rewarding. Instead of sitting around hoping we defeat Blanche Lincoln and hold corporate Democrats accountable for killing the public option and other important reforms, you can do something to make it happen. Trust me, it feels good. And don't worry, if you want some simple training before you make your calls, DFA National Field Organizer Matt Segal has got you covered. After you sign up, he'll train you on anything you'll need to know to get the job done.

Don't wait, sign up to call now.

After I asked for help on Friday, our community made 14,452 contacts together. That's no small number and DFA members came through delivering results when it counts. That's why I'm here in Arkansas running GOTV, I knew you'd be counting on me. And I know I can count on you now.

Early voting has started and Election Day is Tuesday. There is no time to lose.

This is our election to win.
