Right now, the GOP convention in Tampa is showing exactly what we're up against: an opponent backed by shadowy outside groups who are going to stop at nothing to defeat President Obama and other Democrats.   So how do we beat a special interest-fueled fundraising machine? By doing anything and everything we can to turn out as many supporters as possible to vote this fall -- during early vote and on November 6th.
Volunteers in North Carolina have been hard at work -- knocking on doors, registering voters, and making phone calls -- but we need to step it up in a big way if we're going to win.
That's where you come in. There's a phone bank happening during the final day of the Republican National Convention on Thursday in Charlotte -- and you should be there:

When we talk about the importance of ramping up our ground game, we're not kidding around. Right now, our opponents are trying to buy this election -- and it's going to take the strongest grassroots organization in history to stop them.
You already know what it would mean for the country if they succeed. But the people who still need to know the stakes are right under your nose: Your friends, neighbors, relatives, workout buddies, fellow carpoolers, folks in your book club, bowling league teammates -- anyone you know who hasn't decided to get off the sidelines and start pitching in to protect our progress.
And you're the single best person to have the conversations that will get them in the game.
The phone bank on Thursday is a great way to do just that -- and to meet the other Obama supporters in the Charlotte area who are just as fired up as you:
