I'm helping Scott's campaign today - from New York City!
I live in New York, but I'm really helping to make a difference today. I've just spent the last hour phoning for Scott from my home, and I'm taking a break for a short while.
I wanted to tell you that I talked to one woman today who told me, "Yes, our whole household - five people are voting for Scott on Tuesday, and that includes two 'died-in-the-wool' Democrats with a capital D." The woman was a long-time Republican who had never seen these two household members vote against a Democrat before.
Another woman I reached told me that she and her husband were absolutely going to vote for Scott, but that her mother was 98 and needed an absentee ballot. When I told her the deadline had passed for absentee ballots, she talked to her husband right there while I was on the phone, and she asked him if he would drive her mother to the polls on Tuesday. He said he would, and she promised that three votes for Scott would come out of their house.
I had many other households voting for Scott, but those were two of my favorite calls.
Our calling really does make a difference!!

It is so great to see people from others states contribute to this election. This election sure does carry the fate of this country in its hands. Many people think how they would like to help but decide not to for what ever reasons. I thank you for deciding to.

Hi Rachel,
I'm so happy to be able to help from New York.
You're too young to vote, but wise enough to appreciate the importance of sending Scott to the U.S. Senate. How terrific is that!
