Fishing for Florida votes, caught a bunch

Mary and I returned early this morning from Orlando, canvassing for Kerry with the League of Conservation Voters. Volunteers from all over the country knocked on 50,000 doors in key Central Florida counties in one weekend! Just one environmental organization! Many other groups are down there, all over the state in a full-tilt boogie for the week leading up to the election.

What is happening is electric, incredible, and we definitely changed some minds. All it took last time was five-hundred votes. If the volunteers on just our two busloads from Athens and Atlanta snagged one each, that makes about a hundred votes. Oh, and I have a feeling we did better.

Interested in helping out? www.envirovictory.org/GA or envirovictoryfl@lcv.org, or I suggest you just call Riley Wells at (407) 420-4640. Time’s a wastin’. The League of Conservation Voters offers free transportation, dorm-style lodging, and arranges steep hotel discounts.

It's five o'clock in the morning. More later.
