A November to Remember!

The midterm elections are approaching fast and you have the opportunity to get more involved in making sure that progressives turnout and vote this November.

People For the American Way needs your help in contacting our members to make sure our progressive voices are heard at the ballot box.

Over the past six years, we have seen an abuse of presidential powers undermining our country’s system of checks and balances, an erosion of fundamental civil liberties, irresponsible tax and spending policies and a disastrous foreign policy. It is time for a change – let’s make this A November to Remember!

People For the American Way has organized a series of phone banking nights to make focused calls to our members in key districts where important ballot measures and candidate races are taking place and WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Our first phone bank will be on Wednesday, October 4 from 6:00-9:00 pm at the PFAW Northeast Regional Office at 149 5th Avenue, 7th Floor, in New York City. Phone banking will continue every Monday – Thursday until the election on November 7. Light snacks and refreshments will be served and volunteers will be briefed with inside information about the midterm election.

Progressive values are at stake this midterm election. We need you to help make our voices heard!

If you have free minutes to donate, please bring your cell phone!

WHAT: A November to Remember: A series of phone banks to PFAW members about important ballot measures and races in the November elections.

WHEN: The first phone bank will be on Wednesday, October 4 from 6:00-9:00 pm. Phone banks will run every Monday-Thursday through Election Day: November 7.

Words to live by

"While it may be fairly said that Mr. Lincoln entertained many Christian sentiments, it cannot be said that he was himself a Christian in faith or practice. He was no disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. He did not believe in his divinity and was not a member of his Church.

"He was at first a writing Infidel of the school of Paine and Volney, and afterwards a talking Infidel of the school of Parker and Channing....

"If the Churches had grown cold -- if the Christians had taken a stand aloof -- that instant the Union would have perished. Mr. Lincoln regulated his religious manifestations accordingly. He declared frequently that he would do anything to save the Union, and among the many things he did was the partial concealment of his individual religious opinions. Is this a blot upon his fame? Or shall we all agree that it was a conscientious and patriotic sacrifice?"


— -- The New York World (about 1875), quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beleifs of Our Presidents, pp. 138-39
