Eastern Daylight Time<BR>Subj: Entertainers needed for Election Day<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial
color=#000000 size=2>Hi there. I have a strange idea that I need your help
with.<BR><BR>You see, election day is next Tuesday, and the folks at the
Obama <BR>campaign are predicting that 80% of the possible electorate
will turn <BR>out to cast their ballot this year.<BR><BR>80% is a lot.
Consider this. in 2004, when lines got as long as five <BR>hours long,
only 60% of the electorate turned out to vote.<BR><BR>Yes, they've got better
early voting and absentee ballots, but <BR>they're still predicting that
65% will show up at the polls.<BR><BR>This is where my crazy idea comes
in.<BR><BR>I want Obama to win. I want him to win so badly that I need all
80% <BR>who show up to actually cast their ballot. But the thing I'm
up <BR>against is Gloom and Boredom. Let';s be honest. People don't like
to <BR>wait in long lines. But if I can distract them, if I can give
them <BR>something to take their mind off of the wait, then I'll do it.
But <BR>there are 1187 precincts in Cuyahoga County alone, and of them,
600 <BR>have been targerted as "at risk" by the Obama campaign -- enough
that <BR>there will be teams of observers watching the proceedings and
trying <BR>to make things move quickly.<BR><BR>But they're still
expecting long lines. That's where you come in.<BR><BR>Can I get a commitment
from you to be an entertainer at a polling <BR>place for a few hours
especially in the late afternoon and early <BR>evening? I'm looking for
singers, storytellers and poets primarily, <BR>but anyone who can tell a
few "clean" jokes, who can engage an <BR>audience or even run a game of
trivial pursuit or charades would be <BR>sorely welcome. You doin't even
need to be a "performer" -- just be <BR>willing to engage and help keep
the voters' spirits high on that <BR>momentous day.<BR><BR>I'm waiting
for the campaign to get back to me on how to get people <BR>where they
need to be, but I talked to them today and they're <BR>arranging it.
Meanwhile, I need to know how many people I can <BR>mobilize, and when
they're available.<BR><BR>So, are you available?<BR><BR>Let me know ASAP...
Also, feel free to forward this to friends in the <BR>entertainment
field as well (David Budin and Jim Miller, I'm looking <BR>at
you...)<BR><BR>--Tim<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
