Just in case you’ve been living in a complete bubble for the past eight months, there’s an election coming up. A major one. In only one short week, on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
In case you happen to care about what happens on election day, there’s plenty of opportunities to get involved in campaigning and getting out the vote. Do it.
Dan Levine ’11 sends in some info on what you can do:
We have only one week until election day, and it’s the most important of the entire campaign. Obama’s lead in the polls comes from the tireless work of Wesleyan students and other volunteers all around the country. But there’s only one poll that matters, the one on election day. We need your help turning our grassroots supports into votes. This is your last chance to take a hand in electing Barack Obama.
Join us on trips to New Hampshire and Pennsylvania this weekend. We’ll be working Friday through Tuesday, and can make sure you’re on the ground for as much of that time as you can give. Get Out The Vote work is easy and fun, and it’s also the most important. Joining Obama’s ground team this week is the best thing you can do to make sure Barack Obama wins the White House.
Join us and make sure that Barack Obama becomes our next president.

I was in New Hampshire canvassing with them this past week and let me say: it was ridiculous amounts of fun. You get to meet lots of interesting people, and you’re surrounded by other cool dudes who feel passionately about this election.

Get out the vote! Whether you can only go for the weekend, or only help out on election day, do something.
