Nutter trolls for Obama volunteers
The mayor uses his campaign committee to send a message
In between the highs of the Phillies and the lows of the city's budget crisis, Mayor Nutter is still making time to push for the election of a Democratic president.
Anyone who used to get emails from the Nutter for Mayor campaign today will find another one in their mailbox. It doesn't say anything about street money, but it does ask for volunteers.
Here's what it said:
"Dear Friend,
Election Day is less than two weeks away and the stakes could not be higher. In these difficult times for Philadelphia and for our country, we need a president who understands us, inspires us, and is ready to lead us to a brighter future. Barack Obama is the partner we need in the White House.
The Obama campaign has registered more than 175,000 new voters in Pennsylvania this fall. That is great news, but now we need your help to make sure these new voters get to the polls on Tuesday, November 4th and cast their ballots for Senator Obama.

The polls may look good now, but we know that the only polls that count are those that are open on Election Day. That's why we all must work as hard as possible to ensure an Obama victory on November 4th.
The get out the vote effort will run from Saturday, Nov. 1st through Tuesday, Nov. 4th. Volunteer shifts are only 3 hours long, so please sign up for as many as you can. Also, please sign up by this Friday so the Obama campaign leadership can include you when developing their volunteer deployment strategy. This is your last chance to be an important part of this historic campaign!

Please forward this email to your friends, relatives and neighbors and ask them to volunteer to help get out the vote. The voter turnout in Philadelphia could very well determine who wins Pennsylvania. That's why we need all hands on deck to put Senator Obama over the top on Election Day!
As always, thank you for your support and hard work.
Sincerely,
Michael Nutter
Mayor of Philadelphia
