Tom Visack's Challenge: Volunteer now and he will find you a campaign to work with

Tom Vilsack is challenging us all to volunteer. Sign up and he will hook you up with a campaign near you that needs help. Here's his challenge:

It's time to schedule your volunteerism and recruit your friends to join you. It's time to make a commitment to real change by volunteering your time.

Over the past year, our Heartland PAC community has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for gubernatorial and secretary of state candidates all across the country. In some cases, we provided early money to help draw attention to important down-ballot races. More recently, our contributions have helped our candidates respond to some pretty shameful Republican attacks. We've emptied our war chest, and now it's time for the real work to begin.

Momentum means nothing if we don't get our voters to the polls. And that's where you come in. We have created an easy volunteer form where you can sign up to help any of our 41 endorsed candidates. No matter where you are -- there is something you can do.

Sign up and we will send your volunteer commitments to the campaigns right away.

Despite being down, Republican activists are hard at work. The GOP's famous "72 Hour Plan" is reported to be in full swing, making hundreds-of-thousands of phone calls, canvassing precincts and finalizing GOTV plans. While they appear to be desperate -- their TV ads, and machinery is running and shouldn't be underestimated.

Your support -- stuffing envelopes, making phone calls and knocking on doors -- will make the difference. If you haven't signed up to volunteer with a campaign in your area yet, please do it now.

Join me in working towards an Election Day to remember.

The best thing about Vilsack's efforts is that they cover campaigns in most states and include gubernatorial races as well as Secretaries of State. So help out!

Words to live by

Reproductive rights are too often subsumed by highly contentious debates about abortion. But reproductive rights go far beyond abortion. The global fight for reproductive rights is the fight against maternal mortality, forced and coerced sterilization, and gender-based discrimination and harassment. It is the struggle to give women the power to decide for themselves whether, when, and with whom to have children, and for access to sound, medically accurate information about family planning and sexually transmitted infections. It is the battle for universal access to all forms of contraception for both women and men. And it is the effort to protect women, men, and children from the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS.

In short, the reproductive rights movement seeks to empower people all over the world by promoting their agency and control over personal sexual and reproductive health decisions.
