Calling All Volunteers

I received this e-mail recently from Suzie Dym, the head of Matot Arim, and thought I would publicize it. As I explained here, despite the relentless media spin that Kadima is way ahead of the pack, there is movement of voters from Kadima to the Likud. Those of you who would like to be politically active and campaign in Israel during the next few weeks....

"It's time to go from house to house, or from phonecall to phonecall if that is more convenient for you, persuading our fellow citizens to vote for the right and NOT for Kadima. Our goal is to get 61 MKs into the Knesset who will vote against a Palestinian state and all its trappings ("disengagements", etc.). This is going to be a big national volunteer campaign! We know these things work -- remember the Likud referendum when Sharon's solid 20% majority melted away in a single month?

* If you can be in charge of the volunteers in your area, please contact sddym@Bezeqint.net. You will need to give each volunteer some voters' names to work on, write down who got which names, and collect the feedback that your volunteers will shortly stream back to you.

* If you are willing to gather 20 - 50 friends in your living room (or wherever) to explain this volunteer campaign to them -- please also immediately contact sddym@Bezeqint.net. If you would like MK Prof. Aryeh Eldad to speak to the assembled, please call Netzer 052-5666920"


This is grass roots political action at its best.

I think you are making a mistake. Running on negativety is not how you get the big wins. Find something positive to sell( and Likud is not a positive sell.)
