Dear Lucas,
Haven't we all wanted a magic wand? I know I'd wave mine to get every woman to the polls on November 2 to secure a Democratic victory. But guess what -- we already have something even better: a proven strategy for targeting key women voters to mobilize them on election day. The only thing that's missing: you!
Thanks to fresh polling data, we know exactly which voters we need to reach: specific Democratic women voters who might not turn out to vote in 2010 but who can help put EMILY's List candidates over the top -- these are the women you'll speak with by volunteering with Team EMILY. We have the tools and the plan -- we just need a little of your time to make calls from your home or go door-to-door in the field.
All this talk about the enthusiasm gap can be downright discouraging -- but it doesn't have to be this way. We have the power and the ability to overcome this gap by giving women voters the essential information they need to get motivated and go to the polls. And you can be the person who makes the difference in helping elect Democrats by reaching these women at this critical juncture as a volunteer with Team EMILY.
Our process is simple: we give you all the guidance and details you need. We just ask for some of your time in this groundbreaking effort that's taking place across the nation.
I have already seen our efforts get real results. Just last month, volunteers made thousands of phone calls to targeted women in New Hampshire and helped Ann McLane Kuster achieve a decisive primary victory in her congressional campaign. Working together, we can make a difference for even more women candidates in November.
I know you'll be proud to be part of Team EMILY. Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
Amy K. Dacey
Executive Director, EMILY's List
