If you guys were serious about getting JK elected, you would do a road trip to a key states that is still un decided like Wisconsin.

I have made two trips and recruited a few republicans and undecideds to vote change in JK, ones that voted W in 2000.

Our ward already is a 80/20 split and our electoral votes will go to JK, but Wisconsin may not. If you guys can get 15,000 voters to turn out on election day in this ward it still won't change the electoral vote.

But I highly doubt you guys will draw 10,000 in the 49th ward?

Think outside the box.

Every four years, politicians, pundits, and presidential candidates focus almost exclusively on those states considered "in play" -- states which are still too close to call for either candidate. And every day, we get e-mails from you -- our more than 80,000 online supporters in Illinois -- asking us what you can do to send John Kerry and John Edwards to the White House.

"My state is not a coveted swing state," you say, "but I still want to make a difference where it matters most in this election." In 2000, Al Gore won Illinois by a commanding 500,000 votes. But your neighbor to the north, Wisconsin, tells a very different story: Gore won there by a very slim 6000 votes and this year it looks even closer.

Already hundreds of people from Illinois are helping by taking bus trips to Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan -- nearby states where the election will be closest. Now, you can make a difference by volunteering in your own state.

The Illinois Democratic campaign has located 400 available phone lines in an office in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, and they need your help talking to Wisconsin supporters. Right now, they are trying to call every Wisconsin county to identify undecided voters and supporters of Kerry-Edwards and Democrats down the ticket. This work is vital to the success of the "get out the vote" effort that will be run in the days leading up to Election Day.
