ROCK THE VOTE FOR NADER

Get Out The Vote campaign launches 10/13/08

Dear Nader/Gonzalez Supporters,

Our names are Nickie Brooks, Mike Richardson, Mike Welch, David Peyton, Ben Drendel, Emily Przekwas, and Sarah Colgrove and we’re the Nader/Gonzalez National GOTV Field Coordinators. We have split up the United States between us and we are working diligently to support you and your state, regional, and campus coordinators in reaching out to voters in your communities.

We’ve spent weeks with our web team overhauling the state pages in the Take Action section of votenader.org and we’ve just unveiled the exciting new GOTV features.

Our favorite new feature on the state pages? An individualized Nader/Gonzalez state blog. This new blog operates just like our national blog, except it goes out only to Nader/Gonzalez supporters in your state and will be posted on your state webpage. It can be found by clicking first on the Take Action page and then on your state in the blue map.
