100 Days
Today marks the 100 day point for the 2010 midterm elections. On November 2nd, every seat in the House of Representatives will be on the ballot, along with dozens of senate seats. President Obama Buy Cialis may not be on the ballot, but the stakes this year are just as high and the choice is just as stark -- a choice between moving forward with solutions to the problems our country faces, or going back to the politics that created those same problems.
As President Obama recently said in a message to OFA supporters, following the passage of Wall Street reform:
"We did not come together to pass one single piece of legislation. We are fighting for nothing less than a new foundation for our country -- and that work is not complete."
In 2008, grassroots supporters helped build the largest volunteer field organization in American politics, and in key states across the country, they defied the odds and helped make history. Two years later, the challenge is just a great.
For many volunteers and organizers, the work never stopped. First there was the long fight for health reform, then the shorter but just as important campaign for Wall Street reform. Now supporters are back at work registering new voters, reconnecting with 2008's voters, and building volunteer teams for the fall.
This year, the work of volunteers on the ground could be the difference in dozens of close races, and the outcome of those races could determine whether we continue moving forward, or begin to slip backward.
There are 100 days left before the November elections -- 100 days to make calls, to canvass, to talk to voters, to organize. One hundred days to make a difference.
