GOP calling for office volunteers but don’t everyone sign up at once

Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan has sent out an e-mail missive urging supporters to register to vote or update their registration, especially if they’ve moved recently.

The e-mail links to a voter registration tool on Sen. John McCain’s campaign Web site.

The Nevada Republican Party also is contacting supporters in a search for volunteers to help with data entry. But, the party notes, takers should be careful to schedule a shift. There’s a limited amount of computers.

Republicans had better hurry. David Plouffe, national campaign manager for Sen. Barack Obama, sent this note to supporters this morning:

“I am proud to announce that our presidential campaign will be the first in a generation to deploy and maintain staff in every single state.

“The network of volunteers and the infrastructure built up during the historic primary season -- on behalf of all the Democratic campaigns -- have given us an enormous and unprecedented opportunity in the general election.”

Besides Nevada, where Obama has a significant infrastructure due to the state’s presidential caucus, the campaign’s list of competitive states includes Virginia and Montana, Plouffe said.

  1. Who has the best ideology for change in our nation? Senator McCain is a 'dark horse' who signed onto the lefts bill to enact comprehensive Immigration reform, that if passed would have been a paramount blow on any taxpayers. Potential president Obama, has always been direct about his obvious intentions to sign into law a new AMNESTY. McCain? One cannot be sure what his intentions? McCain is a true globalist, which to me means outsourcing of jobs to other countries, and the same badly negotiated free trade agreements like NAFTA. The North American Free-trade agreement, has become a dark hole where billions of dollars have vanished in treaties, that have handed America over to the International corporate CARTELS. These mega corporations hold no loyalty to any country and have exported jobs to the lowest bidder. Globalist have already eroded the sovereign rights of many nations in the European Union.

    Culminating in free movement of poor peoples labor undermining the European indigenous population to large amounts of immigration. The same agenda is anticipated in 2009, unless the citizens and legal resident doesn't stop this assault on our own job market. Obama will have a titanic fight on his hands, if he tries to force the plan of ethnic caucuses and special interest entities on 80 percent of the population. Taxpayers cannot afford to support the millions of illegal aliens, attracted to this nation by predatory employers. With a massive importation deficit from China, Mexico, India and other countries. This explosive rise in our nation's trade deficit is another fundamental menace to this country and our economy. The trade deficit through the first 11 months of last year came in at $662 billion dollars, on pace to jump 17 percent from 2004's record deficit. In fact, the trade deficit has nearly doubled since the president Bush took office and still gaining momentum. Perhaps McCain would sign an executive order to halt ear-marks, but that doesn't stop the avalanche of cheap imported products. Americans should first halt the unfettered influx of millions of illegal immigrants and give the majority of these jobs, back to the legal individuals. After the borders are closed, shut then perhaps a guest worker program can be installed, but without citizenship. Democrats must endorse the SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) to bring orderly immigration back to our country.
