The Massachusetts Senate election tomorrow is critical to the future of this country and especially to the future of health care reform. It’s likely to be a low turnout election, so everything we do here in Pennsylvania to help get Coakley supporters to the polls will make a big difference.
There are two local places where you can join phone banks to call likely Coakley supporters and urge them to vote tomorrow.
UFCW Local 1776, 3031A Walton Road, Plymouth Meeting, PA. 19462.
Now until 8:00 pm today and 10:00 am to 7:00 pm tomorrow.
Organizing for America PA Headquarters, 123 South Broad Street, Suite 820, Philadelphia, PA 19107
Shifts at 4:00 pm today; 10:00 am, 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm, tomorrow.
I don’t have to you how important this election is. Democrats have the bare minimum 60 votes we need to control the Senate. And, with Republicans determined to oppose what Democrats do no matter what, and a few conservative Democrats like Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson who are ready to break rangks, it is difficult enough to pass progressive legislation now.
If we lose the Massachusetts Senate seat and the 60th vote, it will become even more difficult to enact progressive legislation. At a time when we need to be more not less aggressive in dealing with all the difficulties we face—difficulties we inherited from years of Republican neglect—we need the 60th Democratic vote in the Senate.
Please join us for phone banking either today or tomorrow.
