DFA's LINK to MoveOn's "CALL FOR CHANGE" Campaign

My favorite DFA story is based on the DFA link provided to MoveOn's "Call For Change" Campaign. 

As one who was volunteering in the Denver Metro office of MoveOn.com Political Action, I was aware of the incredible efforts progressives were making to get voters to the polls through phone calls to households who tend to vote for democrats (based on voter registration records) if and when they vote.  To me, it seemed like the "Call For Change" contacts with voters were part of a "Stealth Campaign" as far as the "Mainstream Media" were concerned (the MSM was touting the Republican National Committee's 72 hour GOTV initiatives at the time).

With early voting, absentee ballots, and mail-in voting occurring in many states, the last 72 hours may be too little and too late for many swing voters.  The "Call for Change" initiatives were begun well before the last 72 hours, but continued throughout Election Day.

When progressives are provided with such "state of the art" tools, their volunteer efforts can be leveraged into big wins.  Thanks for linking DFA and MoveOn's shared objectives and technologies by linking their member resources in a timely effort to take back the U.S. Congress. 

A shame isn't it that Karl Rove is going to have to learn some "NEW MATH."
