<P class=p1>Dear MoveOn member,</P>
<P class=p1>In 2008, we did something really tremendous together: More than
one million MoveOn members volunteered to help propel then-candidate Obama
into office. </P>
<P class=p1>Two years later, the Supreme Court's <I>Citizens United</I> case
has broken open the floodgates of corporate cash in elections. Tea party
activists are mobilizing. And the <I>New York Times</I>' Nate Silver says
Republicans have a <I>63% chance</I> of taking over the
House.<SUP>1</SUP> </P>
<P class=p1><B>We need to kick into high gear again like we did in 2008—or all
the progress we've made could be brought to a grinding halt. </B></P>
<P class=p1>So on October 2nd and 3rd—during the big One Nation weekend of
progressive activity—we're organizing a huge wave of Stop the Takeover house
parties to save our heroes and defend Congress. At hundreds of gatherings
around the country, we'll make calls to other MoveOn members in order to find
get-out-the-vote volunteers in key congressional districts. </P>
<P class=p1><B>We still need a place for folks to gather in </B><SPAN class=Apple-style-span><B>Houston</B></SPAN><SPAN class=Apple-style-span><B>—can you host a party? </B>It's really simple, and
we'll give you everything you need. Click here if you can help out:</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0px; OVERFLOW: hidden" class=p1><SPAN class=Apple-style-span><A title=http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/create.html?action_id=222&id=23636-1429866-4NAdGgx&t=3 href="http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/create.html?action_id=222&id=23636-1429866-4NAdGgx&t=3">http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/create.html?action_id=222&id=23636-1429866-4NAdGgx&t=3</A></SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13px" class=Apple-style-span> </SPAN></P>
<P class=p1>These parties are one of the most popular things we do together.
Last election, more than 56,000 MoveOn members participated in a call party.
We recruited more volunteers from call parties than from any other
source. </P>
<P class=p1>And they're very simple. You choose a time on October 2nd or 3rd
when you can open up your house for the party. (You can also borrow a friend's
house—or reserve a free public space like a library community room—if your
home isn't a good location for people to gather.) We'll help invite other
MoveOn members, and they'll all bring their cell phones. </P>
<P class=p1>We'll also provide all the materials for you to call MoveOn
members who live in areas with key elections happening—to help candidates like
Senators Russ Feingold and Barbara Boxer, Representatives Alan Grayson and Tom
Perriello, and other less high-profile but incredibly important races that'll
decide control of Congress.</P>
<P class=p1>We also suggest making it a dessert potluck, so you get to enjoy
some treats in addition to your important work! Last election, a lot of folks
said that meeting other local progressives was an incredibly rewarding part of
hosting.</P>
