As far away as Germany, people are getting swept up in an unprecedented presidential campaign fever. Even my dermatologist, who hacked away at a precancerous spot on my schnozzle yesterday, couldn't help arguing with me about who the better candidate was. Since he was wielding a scalpel, I didn't argue. Much. But I couldn't help mention who got us into the mess we're in. Hence my slight political tirade whilst under the knife (have you ever argued politically while someone's holding your nose shut? It isn't pretty).
Whether you are politically interested or not, the fact is something's gotta change.
So for those of you sitting on the fence, or on your hands, it's time to get active. I've provided some details below on how you can do that (thanks to the lovely Arielle Ford, who sends me these things - God bless her!). Regardless of your political leanings (and you can tell where mine sway), vote. It's not hard. Get informed. Here's how. www.factcheck.org or www.politifact.org
Given the economic times we're in, it's your civic duty to voice your opinion. Do so here in the comments section. Do so in your neighborhood coffee shop or local store. Talk about what you think. It matters. And you do, too.

FUNDRAISING
You can still encourage women to donate by directing them to https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/OVFWLF or your personalized weblink - they will still be active.
If you have already maxed out to the Obama Victory Fund, we urge you to donate to critical battleground state parties through the Committee for Change at www.democrats.org/cfc?custom1=WLF+WFO <http://www.democrats.org/cfc?custom1=WLF+WFO> - please help us get to our goal of $100,000 in the next 10 days!
