The midterm elections are approaching fast and you have the opportunity to get more involved in making sure that progressives turnout and vote this November.

People For the American Way needs your help in contacting our members to make sure our progressive voices are heard at the ballot box!

Over the past six years, we have seen an abuse of presidential powers undermining our country’s system of checks and balances, an erosion of fundamental civil liberties, irresponsible tax and spending policies and a disastrous foreign policy. It is time for a change – let’s make this A November to Remember!

People For the American Way has organized a series of phone banking nights to make focused calls to our members in key districts where important ballot measures and candidate races are taking place and WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Our first phone bank will be on Wednesday, October 4 from 6:00-9:00 pm at the PFAW Northeast Regional Office at 149 5th Avenue, 7th Floor, in New York City. Phone banking will continue every Monday – Thursday until the election on November 7. Light snacks and refreshments will be served and volunteers will be briefed with inside information about the midterm election.

MoveOn.org is the force Republicans seem to fear most right now, at least that is how I interpret their nearly hysterical whining about MoveOn.org. Want to join in on the MoveOn effort to oust as many Republicans as possible? Here's MoveOn.org's latest GOTV effort:

Can one sundae change the world? Well, no. But 10,000 of them just might. This weekend, MoveOn members are gathering near Brooklyn to enjoy delicious ice cream sundaes and make get-out-the-vote calls to progressive voters in key districts nationwide.

These "taste of victory" phone parties are a fun way to make a direct impact on the coming election. And with only 18 days go and dozens of races down to the wire, this is one dessert you shouldn't skip.

A neighbor in NY is hosting at their place and you're invited. Click here to R.S.V.P.

Here are the details of the party nearest you:

Location: 24th St & Second Ave. Apt 2L (in NY)

Time: Saturday, 21 Oct 2006, 11:30 AM

Host: L K.

Develop, Don't Destroy Brooklyn is putting on their second annual walkathon to raise money for their legal fund. This legal fund is the main reason why there has been ANY public involvement in the Atlantic Yards project whatsoever. Joy and I participated last year and had a great time. We will be there again this year. From DDDB:

The court battle against the "Atlantic Yards" hinges on our ability to fund our legal team. Our legal case is strong, but we can't win without your help in raising money and awareness.

The walk is less than two miles, and starts at noon at the Prospect Park Bandshell (Propsepct Park West and 9th Street).

The day’s events will include hundreds of walkers, live bands and other talent, children's activities, music, food and booths at the Bandshell.

Walk Don't Destroy 2 is a fantastic opportunity to help fund the DDDB legal campaign through a fun, interactive and exciting event.

REGISTER TODAY.

And DON'T FORGET! The deadline for YOU to have your say on Ratner's plan is Sept. 29th. PLEASE be a part of the process.
