members in the weeks and months ahead.

MoveOn members pulled out all the stops to elect Barack
Obama, donating over $88,000,000 and volunteering over

MoveOn has been a pioneer in “online-to-offline
organizing” – using email and the web to help folks make

8. One Member’s Story
Every chance I get, I’ve been volunteering here in Lafayette, Indiana. It’s the most exciting, joyful, amazing
experience I can imagine – and sometimes it brings tears to your eyes.
My friend and I were canvassing and registering voters the other day here in Lafayette. We knocked on a door,
and a woman came out who was on the phone. She saw our campaign buttons, briefly put the phone aside to tell
us she was on an overseas call, and took our clipboard to fill out a voter registration form while she continued
to talk. She was obviously on the phone with her husband, who seemed concerned that someone had come to
her door – he seemed to want to be sure she was safe. She kept saying, “No, honey, it’s okay. They are Obama
volunteers. I’m registering to vote. It’s okay.”
Then finally she said to him, “Honey, I have to register so I can vote for Obama. He’s going to bring you home!”
It was a beautiful moment. But the truth is, everyone who spends time knocking on doors meets people who
don’t know where to vote or how to vote early, or who just need some reassurance that it’s okay to vote for
Obama. They’re grateful to see you.
