I just took a time out from phone banking here to ask everyone to please help out with this effort.

In Illinois we have been charged with calling a huge list of known Ron Paul supporters. This list is big enough that we could win Illinois, but we need to make sure everyone goes to vote!

I imagine the situation is the same in other states. Call these known supporters and make sure they know how to vote. The nature of your call will also have the added benefit of reinforcing the notion that there are lots of other people voting for Ron Paul and that a vote for Ron Paul is not a wasted vote. (We all know this to be the case but some people need to be reassured.)

Phone banking is taking place around the country at Ron Paul campaign offices. If you do not live near an office, contact your MeetUp organizer or your state’s campaign coordinator to find out how you can get involved.

Please do not assume that other people are doing this. The day is still relatively young but we are severely understaffed in Edwardsville and at several of the other Illinois offices.

I’m fighting a cold, my voice is about to give out, and I can recite the phone script by memory, but I’m going to keep calling. I’ll rest on Wednesday and you can, too.
