I'm a volunteer for Obama. If you are too, check in and K&R.

I have been listening to and watching Democratic conventions on and off since 1952. Yes. Eisenhower and dear Adlai.

And this is the best Convention yet. It has the most progressive message yet. Sounds like the message of 1968 finally sunk in.

That means this is the best year ever to volunteer.

Things you can do:

Register voters.

Call voters.

Talk to voters (especially your family and friends) about the positives of getting Democrats into the White House, House and Senate and local offices. Write down your thoughts so that when you talk to people you will have no problem knowing what you want to say. (You don't need to memorize what you write. It's just an exercise.)

Table with brochures, etc.

Hang around your local Obama headquarters or Democratic Club headquarters and do what needs to be done. Sometimes volunteers need food, so if you don't like mixing with voters, etc., bring in some good food. Doesn't have to be homemade brownies or a prize-winning cake, but no one would complain if it was.

Let's ALL GET OUT THERE THIS YEAR. And if you can't afford the time, give a little cash to the campaign.

We need to work together and show the world that Koch's money and Romney's bullying and Ryan's sniveling are not going to pull down America.

Thanks to everyone who volunteers this year.
