Kal Penn Urges Supporters to Volunteer in a Battleground State
Posted by Eugenia
Sid Salvi brings us this message from Kal Penn! For almost a year, Kal Penn has been criss-crossing the country for Senator Obama - canvassing, speaking on college campuses, and getting out the vote. Kal has been one of the campaign’s most active and passionate supporters, and we are thrilled to share this message and request for help in the closing days of the election:
October 24, 2008
A year ago this month, a friend and I signed up to volunteer for Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign. It was the primary season, and winter was on its way to Iowa. Barack was down 30 points in the polls, and as we trekked through the snow on our way to knock on doors, it seemed that it may take something close to a miracle to change the course of the election.
Of course, it didn’t take a miracle to turn the election around - and it didn’t even take a dime of lobbyist money. But, it did take the passion and support of thousands of ordinary individuals like you and me.
If you’re looking for a way to make a difference with 12 days to go, you can do it NOW. In 2004, only about 35% of AAPIs voted in the battleground states. You can easily change that by coming to Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina or Florida to mobilize the AAPI community to vote - and bring real change to our country.

All over the country, countless volunteers and staffers are knocking on doors, making phone calls, and registered new voters as part of this historic campaign for change. It is up to us. We can accept four more years of failed Bush policies by electing John McCain and Sarah Palin… Or, we can bring about real change by working to elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
To join us on the ground, please email Sid Salvi at ssalvi@floridaforchange.com or go to http://my.barackobama.com/driveforchange.
Polls fluctuate. But your commitment, the hard work and dedication of our staffers and volunteers, and Barack’s resolve remain steady and strong. Please join us.
