If turnout looks like 2008, when President Obama was elected on a wave of first-time and energized voters, we win. If it's 2010 all over again, and folks decide to stay home, we lose. It's as simple as that. That's why we have to work hard to get out the vote in New Hampshire over the next week. Folks from Massachusetts are traveling to New Hampshire for our final get-out-the-vote push. There's a team leaving from Cambridge -- we need you to join them. Say you'll be there:

[url] Here are the details: What: Trip to New Hampshire

Meet at: Cambridge, MA 02138

When: Shifts available through Election Day

RSVP here:

[url] Or join another event near you: [url]

Even if you've never made the trip to New Hampshire before, I hope you can join. We'll help you coordinate travel -- this is our last chance to make it over the border and meet voters face to face. I know we've asked for a lot. In these last critical days, we need folks like you to step up and own every day from now until November 6th. This is it, I hope you're fired up -- because we're ready to go. RSVP today: [url]
