I finally volunteered some time!

I've been saying I should for awhile, and finally I signed up for an afternoon of calling seniors yesterday. Most of the 170 calls I made were to answering machines but a few calls were interesting. I volunteered for some more phone bank work tonight. With my back problems, phone banking is the best I can do, I think. And even if what I did - the purpose was mostly, Can we count on you to support Obama on Election Day - may not have been wildly effective, it sure made me feel better. I'm contributing my time, not just my money - and it's about as much as I can do either way.

All the pundits are saying: three weeks is an eternity in a general election. I suppose they know what they're talking about and I'm sure that the Obama campaign knows enough not to take anything for granted at this stage. The three weeks can't go by fast enough for me!
