WHY CANVASS? Because it’s the most important single thing you can do!
Talking with people one-on-one in person is the most effective way to recruit voters for Obama-Biden. This is why the Obama campaign is encouraging volunteers to reach out to others. And, canvassing is FUN! Go with a friend and meet new people, share what you know about Obama and Biden, and get excited about how Obama’s message inspires others.
