Obama Phone Bank (NYC)
 | Author: Jauretsi | Posted: October 23rd, 2008 | Filed under: Uncategorized | | Comments Off |
Film Director Matt Lenski and Arthur Fournier invite you, your cell phone, and your free weekend minutes to make a difference in the Obama for America Campaign.
This Saturday, the boys are organizing a get-together of their cool New York crew (artists, designers, graffiti artists, corporate friends, the guy at the deli — ANYONE is invited) for an Obama Phone Bank.
Essentially, it’s a big shindig daytime party and noble excuse to gather around and make some important phonecalls to push the “tipping point” towards Barack. Aside from a great gang to meet over lunch, there’ll be endless support from buddies speaking on their cell phone beside you.
The goal: To reach out to 5,000 households by end of Saturday. We’re expecting at least 50 people to join us on Saturday.
Matt and Arthur will be supplying the coffee and “high-fives” you need to power on through. It’s easy (and gratifying) to do. Most importantly, it could make a real difference in the outcome of this election.
The grassroots phonecall approach was inspired by “The Great Schlep” — so if anyone has family in Florida, call them!

If desired, Matt has organized a list of “talking points” (facts) that are a little less harsh then the lovely Sarah. But we can offer bullet-points to know EXACTLY what to say when that undecided voter in a battleground state asks why he/she should vote Obama.
Date: This Saturday, October 25th
Time: Come anytime between 11AM and 7PM (stay as long as you want)
Location: Studio 13 NYC @ 391 Broadway 2nd Fl. (between Walker & White)
Subway: “CANAL ST” stop…. Take the 1,A,C,E,N,Q,R,W,6,J,M,Z to get there
Please RSVP to hold your cute corner in the room — and in history.
Email: phone.bank.rsvp@gmail.com. If you are “on the fence”, email Matt with questions here, so he can push you to join the cause (he’s quite convincing) if you’ve never volunteered before.
Spare Notes: If you have a laptop, bring it. Don’t forget your phone charger. If you have a fancy headpiece, better!
Please spread the word. Everyone is invited.
We are 11 days away from the election.
