| I wake up today at 6:30. I seriously do not remember how long it has been since I have woken up that early. But this is the day. We are making or breaking it here. It's the fourth quarter, and there's a minute or two left on the clock. Since America is always a close game, there's no letting back now.
I should arrive at campus at around 7. Maybe a bit later, if I have the trouble getting out of bed and out of my room -- something I'm afraid of. But with the adrenaline rush for today, I should avoid the problem. And all day I'll be roving around the UT campus. Every student here needs to vote -- it would, at the very least, complete their state-mandated U.S. Government education.
I guarantee I'm not the only one. In 2000 and 2004, President Bush won elections with some great Get out the Vote drives. Today, we must do the same. For those UT students reading this: skip class and stop by Governor's Room in the Texas Union; we'll get you some work to do. If you can't skip class, stop by during your breaks. Your help will be appreciated. (and then, you can party at Austin's Pizza with us when the polls close.)
For all of you finished with school, who have paying occupations: at least tell every Democrat you know to vote today. Remember, it's still game time. And in most of Texas, game time isn't over until 7. GOTV is the last drive of this game, and last drives are usually the most crucial.
Today's the day. Help us win. |
