DFA and MoveOn joint effort for Kerry victory. (DFA e mail)

This election is within our reach -- and I am proud to announce a major initiative to get the votes to win. Democracy for America is partnering with MoveOn in a massive get-out-the-vote effort called Leave No Voter Behind.

Here's the plan: 500 paid organizers will mobilize thousands of volunteers in 10,000 key neighborhoods in battleground states. Together they will turn out 440,000 new voters for John Kerry and Democrats at every level. Work has already begun -- organizers are calling tens of thousands of DFA supporters in swing states.


But what can you do in a state that is firmly red or firmly blue? Help pay for the effort:

Leave No Voter Behind uses proven, neighbor-to-neighbor methods to get out the vote. But nothing comes for free. George Bush's education policy with a similar name failed because he refused to fund it.

Please give what you can to get voters to the polls:

These next three weeks will be intense, but we have to keep our eye on the ball. The fundamentals are in place -- we just need to execute.

Organizers are on the ground, we are recruiting volunteers, and -- with your help -- we will deliver on Election Day.

Thank you for everything.

Executive Director

P.S. Thanks to your resounding response, during the final week of September we wrote over $200,000 in checks to fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates across the country. Now we need to turn out the vote for them -- please give what you can to make it happen: www.democracyforamerica.com/contribute
