Help Obama-Biden Saturday October 4

2008-10-03T15:04:00.002-05:00

From Move On:

The worst thing all of us could do now would be to sit back and assume he'll win without our help.
Thanks to last week's debate and the economic crisis, swing voters are warming up to Obama. But if we don't act fast to seal the deal, his lead could vanish with McCain's next smear job.
That's why MoveOn members are heading down to the Obama office in Lee's Summit tomorrow to help reach out to voters. Will you come?

Thanks for all you do.
