Operation Voter Shield

Dear Fellow Tea Party Patriots,

We are now in what is often referred to as the 72 Hour Push in campaigns. It is the last 3 days of the campaign cycle and this is when the work really ramps up. It is time to roll up your sleeves and commit a piece of your time to insure that we have victory for liberty and a referendum on the core values we have been pushing for the last 19 months.

As Mark and Jenny Beth have been on the 30 city Get Out the Vote Tour, they have asked the crowds if they know what the real secret to elections is. Do you know what it is? Many people say:

getting out the vote
or walking neighborhoods
or going door to door
or having the right message
or poll watching

Those things are each important to the secret. The real secret is that when the ballot boxes are sealed and the polls are closed for the night, the side with the most votes wins.

That line gets a lot of chuckles. It is obvious and simple. It is what elections come down to in the end.

It is our job to make sure that on Tuesday, people who agree with our core values go vote and that they do not sit out this election.

With that in mind, there are 4 specific things you can do in the next 72 hours to get out the vote.

1.) Use the Tea Party Patriots Phone Banking System to make phone calls. It is so simple and extremely effective. You login and the system pulls up a name from our massive nationwide database that has not yet received a call from us. You call that person and read a really short script. Then you click a button on your computer and get another name from the list.

EASY, EASY, EASY.

Click here to see a short video demonstration to help you out. Or click here to login and get started. - Even if you can only make 5 calls, you'll be helping out tremendously. But every call you make hammers home our victory that much further.

2.) Sign up to be a poll watcher for Operation Voter Shield (CLICK HERE). We are about 1,300 poll watchers short of our final goal. We will train you on what to do. You will observe the election process and make sure that the polling places are upholding the law and not violating anyone's voter rights. We have a legal war room powered by Let Freedom Ring that will be active on Election Day to support you. Please, sign up to be a poll watcher today. If you know of other people who can volunteer on Election Day, ask them to sign up as poll watchers as well.

These Congressional Districts are the key spots where fraud is likely and Poll Watchers are needed. Please help if you can!

3.) Update your Facebook status, LinkedIn status, twitter, etc. to read

"Tuesday I will vote for liberty and to restore the US Constitution."

Ask your friends, followers, etc. to update their status with the same.

4.) Send an email to your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. telling them how you are voting and why. Be sure to focus on our core values of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets. You can also use the TPP theme for the fall of Recycle Government, Teach DC the 3 Rs: Repeal, Reduce, Restore. Tea Party Patriots are working to repeal the government takeover of health care. Reduce the size and scope of the the federal government and reduce the deficit. We seek to balance the federal budget. Finally, TPP will restore the US Constitution.

Please do these items. Watch for an email tomorrow where we continue to give you useful information to get out the vote. Also, watch for an Election Day Scorecard you can use to keep track of the election results on Tuesday night.
