a few days ago mithras called for bloggers to get off their asses and volunteer for the obama campaign. i work full time, i haven't been able to do nearly as much as mithras has already done registering voters. but i can at least spare election day. and so i have volunteered to work for the campaign's voter protection program.
i did the same thing back in 2004 for the kerry campaign and despite my disappointment with the outcome of that election it really was a great, albeit exhausting, experience. if there are any other lawyers (or law students) out there reading this, i urge you to volunteer for the program. and if you're not a lawyer, you can always volunteer to do something else.
