You Can Help Make History

On January 19th, a special election will be held in Massachusetts to fill the vacated seat of the late Senator Ted Kennedy. As most of us realize, it can have a profound impact on the nation, as well as Massachusetts.

Until a few weeks ago, it appeared that Martha Coakley would easily win Kennedy’s seat and extend the Democratic stranglehold.

However, in the ensuing weeks, Republican Scott Brown has closed the gap so dramatically that, according to several polls, he is now in a DEAD HEAT. A key reason for Brown’s success is the intensive use of “phone banks”, whereby activist supporters have been calling and encouraging swing voters to vote for Brown.

In addition to the Massachusetts regional phone banks, the Brown campaign offers a phone program for in-state AND out-of-state supporters to use in the comfort of their homes. Although it has been well- received, there have been a few minor problems.

To encourage wider usage of the CALL FROM HOME program, we have simplified the process by creating an easy-to-understand checklist that side-steps previous trouble spots.

Keep in mind that we are entering the last week before the election. A final, intensive effort is required for Brown’s campaign to be successful. For Patriots who would like to make a financial donation, go to: www.brownforussenate.com 

If you’d like a piece of this historic action by making calls, please use the following

STEP #1 – OBTAINING AUTHORIZATION TO ACCESS THE CALL PROGRAM

* Go to

* Click on “Call From Home”www.brownforussenate.com

* Disregard the LOG IN box that appears, and click on the “click here” link below the box.

* On the “Make Calls From Home” page that appears, fill in the information requested, and click “Submit”.

* A box will appear that says: “Thanks! Your response will now appear in my spreadsheet.”
** DO NOT click on the “Create your own form” link below … it’s an irrelevant distraction.

* Realize that it will take ONE HOUR or more after you “Submit” before
you receive authorization to access the “Call From Home” program. It
requires a Scott Brown staffer to review and authorize your request.

* You will eventually receive a “User Name” and a “Password” via the email address you submitted.

STEP# 2 – MAKING CALLS

Once you’ve received your email authorization,

* click on the Scott Brown website link …

* Click on “Call From Home”

* In the “Log In” box, type in your new “Username” and “Password”.

* Click the “Log in” red button

* Click “Tutorial” and follow the prompts

* After completing the “Tutorial”, click the back button to repeat the
“Tutorial” or click “Begin Calling” if you are ready to start.

KEY POINT – Once you begin calling, DO NOT hang up at the end of a
call. When finished, simply click the “Hang up and Submit” red button
and begin the next call. (If you return the receiver to the cradle, you
will have to repeat the entire accessing process.) Hang up only when
you are finished, or if you want to take a break.

It will probably take a few calls to get comfortable. but beware, it might become addictive!
