No Match No Vote

Under Florida law, there are potentially thousands of voters whose ballots will not count because their names or addresses on their voter registration do not match their identification exactly (i.e. Robert Smith vs Bob Smith). The campaign needs to send the dream team of lawyers to Florida to make sure that legitimate voters are not turned away at the polls.

Send Hillary to Pennsylvania, not Florida

It's getting down to the wire and time to make some tough decisions. Florida, with its close margins of victory and its large pot of electoral votes, looks tempting to the Obama-Biden campaigners. But millions of dollars and tons of high profile campaign stops haven't been able to push the polls into Obama's favor. But it's ok! Unlike Gore, we don't need Florida to win!

Barbara Streisand for Obama - get the Jewish Vote!

Get Barbara Streisand to record an ad (she would do it for free) and air it on TV in Florida...a lot. You'd get the Jewish vote.

Constructive Fear Mongering: Global Warming

If fear mongering is going to win this election, might as well be constructive. Scare the hell out of people with the possible results of global warming. And do it quickly, so Palin's views look dangerous in the debates. This kind of rhetoric could win Florida. (Super-hurricanes, etc.)

Free ID for anyone who registers to vote

I believe the entire voting system is just ridiculous. How many election fraud attempts have succeeded and/or been suggested in the past decade. First of all, change the system to required paper trail AND require voters to show a valid (state or national) ID which they can get FOR FREE (one time offer) when they register to vote.

Ensure citizens aren't prevented from voting

To prevent those from poorer constituencies being prevented from casting their ballot on election day, Democrats have to seriously address the voting "mishaps" of 2000 in Florida and 2004 in Ohio now, before the election is stolen from us once again by people not being allowed to vote or by having the decision being made by the Supreme Court. Therefore, we have to do three things:

Obama Needs to Address the Massive Voter Purges by Republicans

While the media focuses on the antics of McCain's chosen VP battleground states are purging their voter rolls. In Colorado, one fifth of all voter registrations were dropped. Florida is refusing to accept 85,000 new registrants -- overwhelmingly blacks. Ohio & Nevada are scrubbing tens of 1000s of voters who lost their homes.
