Ballots for this fall's general election went in the mail today, and the poeple of Seattle will begin voting this weekend.

A recent poll commissioned showed that Mike McGinn is trailing.

But he is within striking distance, down by only 6 points with 33% of Seattle voters still undecided.

If each one of us comes together to help Mike, we can push him over the top and move Seattle towards a better future---rapid expansion of light rail above and beyond what Sound Transit already plans, an end to the mentality that we have to spend billions of dollars on new freeways, and the start of an era where Seattle housings gets better and more affordable.

There are three steps you can take to add even more grass-roots power to Mike's campaign:

1. Sign up to walk neighborhoods and drop off literature at voters' homes (no contact with strangers required).

9AM October 17 (this Saturday) or 9AM October 24 (next Saturday). Sign up here

2. Sign up to make phone calls to voters.

Sunday through Thursday every week, at three locations (Capitol Hill, Downtown, Fremont-Wallingford), volunteers call hundreds of voters. Join in. Sign up here

3. Contribute money

With your financial contribution, you can amplify your voice and make sure undecided voters get the message about Mike's campaign. Help put Mike contact more voters with direct mail and TV commercials.

In fewer than three weeks, the election will be over, and by then it will be too late. If we act now, we have the power to bring change to Seattle.
