Will the Dems Prevail?
With only 4 days to go, a number of Senate races are extremely tight. The latest polling shows that things are way too close to call for Bruce Braley in Iowa and Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska--which means we still have time to save the Senate.

In fact, all across the country, our (Howard) Dean Dozen candidates are gaining ground in the homestretch: Polls show Mark Schauer moving into a statistical tie with Tea Party Governor Rick Snyder. Gov. Pat Quinn is holding on to a small but solid lead in Illinois. And others, like Mary Burke in Wisconsin, are still within striking distance.

It is going to take all of the people power we can muster to put these great Democrats over the top. Right now, Democracy for America members are doing amazing grassroots GOTV work with each and every campaign we've endorsed. They're making tens of thousands of calls through DFA Dialer every day to turn out voters in these tight races.

The pundits on FOX (Fiction) News say Democrats are DOOMED this year. They're taking victory laps before most people have even had the chance to vote.

For the final four days of this election, DFA is ramping up its GOTV program around the clock. We're keeping DFA Dialer open all day, every day, so that volunteers from across the nation can call into all of the hottest, most important races in the country from now until the second the polls close.

Turnout operations as big as the one DFA wants to run can have massive effects on close races--a strong GOTV program can increase Democratic turnout by as much as 3%. That kind of movement puts a lot of races into play.

We've always known that the most powerful thing in politics isn't money, it's the work that volunteers like you do to connect with voters. Now, with DFA Dialer, our volunteers can unleash that power around the clock in states from Maine to Alaska, giving our Dean Dozen the edge they need to WIN.
