Let Me Call Your Non-voting Brother-in-Law!
Michael Moore
4 hr ago [31 Oct 2022, ed.]
We have just about a week left to go. Holy shit! This is it!
To win, to make sure our large majority of climate-believing,
reproductive rights-supporting, anti-capitalist-fighting, mass
incarceration-liberating, voter suppression-smashing, universal health
care-providing, union-organizing, affordable housing-creating and
soon-to-be victors over the Republican Party — all of us MUST step it up
in these final 8 days if we are going to pull off the upset of upsets
and send the politically illiterate pundits and election-denying party
hacks packing! Once and for all!
I, too, must do more. While I can’t fly to a dozen states and go
door-to-door with each of you this week, I can do the next best thing:
I can personally call your still-undecided brother-in-law and convince
him to vote with us. Or your aunt who gave up voting a decade ago. Or
your close friend that agrees with us but can’t stand Biden. That’s ok —
let me talk to them. If you send me their phone number I’ll try to call
as many as I can every day for the next 8 days. I’ll listen to them and
then I’ll do my best to convince them to join us. We’ve got nothing to
lose here and everything to gain, one vote at a time.
So here’s how my phone calling for you is going to work:
If you want me to call a relative or friend to convince them to vote,
send me a private email to: MikesMidtermCalls@xxxxxxxxx with
her/his/their name and number, what your relationship is to them
(sister, brother, son, daughter, etc.), and the best time to call. NOTE:
As I expect to receive a few thousand requests, I will only be able to
do just so many calls. I won’t have the time to arrange it in advance
with you or them. It will just be random and unexpected when I call.
It’s the only way to pull off something a little crazy like this. But
it’ll be fun — and I think I can bring a few people along with us.
I’m looking forward to joining with as many of you as possible. I simply
want to do as much as I can while sitting here in my post-Covid
recovery! Don’t worry, I’m all good, just a slight dry cough and fogging
up occasionally trying to figure out why I’m watching this particular
World Series (or is it the Bachelor in Paradise I’m confused about?).
I will keep sending all of you the daily Midterm Tsunami Truths and my
podcast. You might also see me on a few TV shows this week as I try to
confront the attempts to depress our vote with the bs of the “surging
Republican victory.” Oh wait — we swore off TV! Hmmm. I’ll leave it up
to you.
Let’s do this my friends! Time is running out. The hard work —
convincing the vast majority of Americans to side with us on nearly all
the major issues — that work is already done! They already do! Now all
we have to do is get them to the polls! Easy-peasy! There’s at least 20
million more of us than the Republicans. I mean, talk about having a
huge lead! Let’s not blow it. Let’s not fail and embarrass ourselves
because we couldn’t get a voter 2 miles to the voting booth!
Let’s go!
Let’s do this!
I’m here to campaign with you! Put me to work! I’ve got my phone bank
all set up to get your family and your friends into a voting booth and
save our Democracy.
P.S. And remember — What’s the reason we’re going to win? Because we are
pounding the pavement and the internets for the next 8 days! We are
unstoppable. We are the majority! We love this diverse, crazy country
and its Democracy — and we intend to fix it and make it even more fair
and user friendly. Who’s with me?!! See you this week!
