MoveOn.org emailing into Virginia....

Still doubt MoveOn.org is in Virginia politics? Check out this email....

Dear MoveOn member,

A living room can be a very powerful place. When we started MoveOn eight
years ago, from our living room, Joan and I thought we were just starting a
quick online "flash campaign" to help restore sanity to Congress. Then we
could get back to our lives. Well, eight years later, we're still working
from our living room, but we're working with millions of wonderful people
across the nation to turn our country around. And, finally, it's turning.

Now, we need your living room. Just for an afternoon.

More than three dozen key races are now considered toss-ups in the election
on November 7th. A few thousand votes can and will make the difference. We
can throw the radical right-wing Republican congressional leadership out of
Washington.

We've already made over two million calls together, reaching out to
Democratic voters in these toss-up districts, but we've got to make millions
more before the election. We're aiming to get 50,000 people phoning for the
last push. And to do that we need to have 1,200 house parties—in just about
every town and city in the country—during the final weekend and on election
day.

That's where you come in. Can you lend us your living room, for just one
afternoon, for MoveOn members to make these calls Nov. 4th, 5th or 7th?

Just go here for more info or to sign up.

Already, we have 750 phone parties booked. And 40,000 people have made
calls. So folks are charged up. But we need more good people to open their
homes for the final push.

So many times in the last eight years we've been moved beyond words by the
passion and energy of MoveOn members. Together, we've stood up time and time
again to meet the very worst that this radical Congress and the Bush
administration could throw at us.

But rising together to face each new crisis is not enough. If we're ever to
realize our vision for a peaceful, honest, and fair nation, we've got to
fire this Congress and start fresh. We've always known this. But this week
we can actually do it.

There are dozens of folks right near you in the the Roanoke area, ready to
roll up their sleeves this final weekend and on Election Day. But there's no
party close enough yet to make it work. Everything—everything—depends on
whether or not they can find a place to gather to make these crucial calls.

Please, sign up to close the gap today:

Thanks for all that you've done, and for going the extra mile when it
matters most.

OK, Republicans ... are you ready to roll up your sleeves and work harder during this final week leading up to Election Day? We need everyone to do everything they can to re-elect GEORGE ALLEN and BOB GOODLATTE ... and vote YES on the Marriage Amendment.

Stay strong for freedom ... and vote on November 7.
