Dear xxxx,
You've shown over the last week that you're up for a fight. You joined with hundreds of thousands of other Democrats online to mobilize and fight back.
But we're not just mobilizing online. We're mobilizing on the ground in every single state across the country. As we near the November elections, our 50-state strategy operation is being transformed into a 50-state get-out-the-vote effort.
Our push down the home stretch is the "50-State Turnout" -- an unprecedented, nationwide operation to turn voters out to the polls.
It kicks off on October 7th -- exactly one month before the midterm elections. State parties have planned hundreds of events nationwide, using our brand new PartyBuilder grassroots action tools.
There are hundreds of get-out-the-vote events -- phone-banks, neighborhood canvasses or volunteer events at campaign headquarters across the country. Find one here:
http://www.democrats.org/50stateturnout The 50-State Turnout is a perfect example of how a 50-state strategy to build our party everywhere can deliver results now while building the kind of infrastructure we need for the future.
We have nearly 200 staff and thousands more trained volunteers on the ground across the country right now.
They've been building towards this election for more than a year in all 50 states.
The 50-state strategy has meant that they got to work earlier than ever before -- and it means that all the work we do between now and November will be the foundation for next year and the year after.
The final 30-day sprint will kick off with events across the country on October 7th. Check for an event near you:

The 50-State Turnout will be the broadest off-year election mobilization in our party's history -- and rightly so, because the stakes couldn't be higher.
I hope you'll join us on October 7th.
Thank you.
Governor Howard Dean, M.D.
