Help me DU, I'm in a safe blue state. How can I help?

I've seen these posts before so I apologize for yet another one. I've given to moveon.org and to the campaign directly. In addition I'm going to donate to the DU $100,000 drive. What else can I do donation wise to help?

Also, what can I do with respect to volunteering? Volunteering here in NYC isn't going to help Obama much :)

Thanks for your help DU!

1. Phone banking can help from anywhere. Use those free nights and weekend minutes

2. Though Obama is winning in NJ, it always helps to call a campaign office there

just to see if they need help with anything.

I agree, however. You can phone bank or just call from your cell phone while sitting at home. You can call voters in swing states. When I'm feeling inspired, I'll make 10 calls every night or every few days, especially if I can't canvass.

I live in MD but we're working very hard in VA and it is paying off.

3. mybarackobama.com has plenty of ways you can help. I'm in a

"safe" red state and am calling out of state (even as I type this) to a battleground, New Mexico.

check it out or call the local Obama campaign, they probably have out of state call lists prepared, too.

7. That's what I needed!

I didn't know if I could go through the campaign or work with an ancillary like moveon. Thanks! :hi:

4. Thanks for the offer! Wanna help turn Boehner's district blue?

Here's the new HQ that has totally shaken up this town of ours:

Here's their website:

They've done such a great job. I'm proud to be putting in my time, and we're registering new voters like crazy.

5. It's only a 1 hour train ride

to the suburbs of Philly.
They said the numbers that Hillary got there were what won her the primary.
And I've heard analysts say that's what could put Obama over the top on Election Day.
You could do a lot of useful work there for only the price of an Amtrak ticket!!

6. You could contribute to Election Protection, or their partners... or to the DNC or DSCC

8. I Have Been Giving to DFA and Defender of Wildlife

I'm already maxed out on donations to Obama, so I have been giving to
DFA for their ads: https://democracyforamerica.com/contribution_pages/69
and Defenders of Wildlife for their ads: http://www.defendersactionfund.org/index.html
(remember those women who liked Palin, they don't like her anymore after seeing the aerial wolf gunning ad).

I don't think I'd be doing O any favors by phone banking for him, I'm really awful at that sort of thing.
