Subject: Biggest weekend of action yet
Time is running out to save our heroes and help dozens of other brave Democrats
win on November 2nd. So we're mobilizing for our biggest weekend of action yet
this year. Can you host a "Save our Heroes" call party in your city on Oct. 23rd
or 24th?

Host a party<http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/create.html?action_id=227&id=24307-16589519-EnMPWlx&t=2>
Dear Member,
Russ Feingold, Barbara Boxer, Alan Grayson, Tom Perriello, and other progressive
leaders have a Republican bull's-eye on their backs this election year. And
polls show many bold progressives are in real danger of losing in
November—unless we all step up right away to save them.1
In short: Our heroes are in trouble—can you host a party next weekend to help
them<http://pol.moveon.org/event/events/create.html?action_id=227&id=24307-16589519-EnMPWlx&t=3>?
These are heroes like Sen. Feingold, who stood alone in voting against the
PATRIOT Act just days after 9/11, and Sen. Boxer, a leader on climate change and
protecting a woman's right to choose. And like Rep. Perriello, who stood tall
against Big Insurance during the health care debate, and Rep. Grayson, a
populist hero who's never afraid to call out the pernicious corporate influence
in Washington.
Without them in Congress, it'll be easier for Republicans and their corporate
allies to steamroll awful legislation—because often what it takes is the
leadership of a brave and bold progressive to stop the madness.
We simply can't let them lose on November 2nd. So we're gearing up for the
biggest weekend of action yet this election year: "Save our Heroes" house
parties next weekend. We'll recruit volunteers to help get out the vote for our
heroes and dozens of other Democrats nationwide. These campaigns urgently need
help to reach all their targeted voters, so we've set an ambitious goal of 500
parties and 150,000 recruitment calls. We'll need everyone to pitch in to meet
that goal!

We'll have help making these parties really special directly from some of our
heroes—like Alexi Giannoulias, a 34-year-old progressive champion running for
President Obama's former Illinois Senate seat. Giannoulias, who's in the closest
Senate race of the year, will connect to the parties live for a conference call
Saturday at 6 p.m. eastern. So we're encouraging everyone who can to have their
parties then. (Of course, if you can't, you should still plan a party—we'll
share a recording of the call.)
Hosting is simple, but so important. By hosting, you're giving other
progressives in the area a place to come together to take action, multiplying
your own impact and helping stop the takeover.
Here's how it works:
* You choose a location—your house, a friend's, a room at a local community
center—for people to hang out and make calls. Then we'll email other MoveOn
members nearby to invite them—and you can invite your friends, too, of course.
* We'll send you info on how to join the call with Alexi Giannoulias on
Saturday, or how to listen to the recording if your party is at another time.
And stay tuned—we'll have more news on other progressive heroes' participation
coming soon.
* We'll send you instructions on how to get lists of who to call, a script
for what to say on the phone, and all the info you need. And on the day of your
party, we have live volunteer support via phone or email.
This will be our biggest weekend of action yet—if we all pitch in. Can you host
a party in your city? Click here:
