The Power of Ten
(en francais)
It's really simple folks.
Conservatives like to brag about the breadth and depth of grassroots support. Now is the time to put that grassroots to work. At approximately 200,000 members, the CPC can generate 2 million votes if every member commits to getting 10 other people to vote.
As of today, there are 21 days left until the polls open.
Why wait. Start working on your list of 10 today. You can vote ANY DAY at your local Elections Canada Office, take advantage of the Advance Polls or help people exercise their right on Election Day.
Look at it this way, when the Liberals go negative, as most expect them to do, we can take our own P.O.T. Shots back. What better way to respond?10 POWER 10
IDEAS
1. Contact your local CPC candidates office and ask for a list of 10 people who need a ride to the polls. One a day keeps the Liberals away.
2. Host an Advance Poll Coffee - invite 10 friends for coffee on an advance poll day. 10 minutes for coffee, 10 minutes to the poll, 10 minutes to vote, 10 minutes back home, 10 minutes for another coffee and a lifetime of satisfaction knowing that your "Power of Ten" group has made their voice heard.
3. Host a debate party - price of admission - a blank Special Ballot form to give to another friend or family member. These can easily be picked up at your Elections Canada office, after you have voted of course.
4. Host a P.O.T. Luck Supper. 10 friends, 10 dishes, 10 votes. Enjoy some Liberal Surprise or Goodale Soup. Work off all that good eating with a visit to the polls and a stop at Tim Hortons. What could be more fun?
5. Burma Shave - 10 people + 10 CPC signs = a honking good time. 4pm to 6pm should suffice, followed by a convoy to vote.
6. Volunteer as a door knocker on Election Day. Print out the "Power of Ten" button and wear it. (the logo just happens to fit in one of these - go figure!) Ask each person to help you meet your "Power of Ten" goal.
7. Email this post to 10 other people
8. Post a link to this post on 10 other blogs or forums, or duplicate this post on your own blog and convince 10 others to do the same on their own blog or forum.
9. Print this post out and give it to 10 other people.
10. Create your own stickers using the "Power of Ten" logo. Pass 'em out and wear 'em with pride!
Once you've completed your "Power of Ten", post a comment or email me and I'll add your name in the comments section, if you wish.

LOL, Thanks for the link. I have the solution if the liberals win again.

Thanks bbs, I'm out hammering signs for Don Graves of Hamilton Mountain while my disabled boy is home during the Christmas break.
Even he's engaged in the process because people beep when they see us putting up signs, he gets all wound up at the attetion. We are swamped with requests since Pauls been caught with his hands in the cookie jar again and people just want an honest government for a change.
It's so easy to vote now, the polling stations are open 7 days a week up until January 17th, therefore all you need is your voter card, picture ID and a good heart.
I'm taking a van load of seniors over today. It's like a grand adventure for them. They won't notice all the Stephen Harper stuff strewn about in the back, he-he.
God I love democracy, especially casting my ballot. We all have a duty to participate because we get the government we deserve.
Go Stephen, go. Canada deserves you.
Glad to hear things are rocking on the Mountain Mark. Keep up the good work, sounds like you already have your Ten covered.
And here ,I didn't think that I could help.....from the Alberta colony. You got it ....10 media, 10 emails and a talk show or two.[daily...I promise] (And if I were in Edmonton 100 BLUE signs in "Landslide Annie's riding". By the way I hear that the red ones are slowly being pulled ! Yippee
hehehe... I thought I can join the list too but well I am glad to be in the BT though
Note number 10 (and 13). Please promote this one. It's easy to do and helps the environment.
1) posted Power of 10 logo and post on my blog.
2) I have put up over 100 lawn signs
3) I have volunteered for GOTV (get out the vote) campaign for three shifts totalling 11 hours (3 down 8 to go)
4) My candidate needed warm bodies to give up to Elections Canada for DRO and Revision polling. I am on both lists.
5) I cheered on Bob Mills, our Environment Critic at the all candidates debate
6) I went to Harpers 2nd half kick off to support our leader when he spoke at the Crowne Plaza in Downtown Ottawa
7) I will be at the all candidates technology debate today to make sure Canada knows (via CPAC) that our candidate has supporters.
8) On January 18th, I will be at a BurmaShave with our MP/Candidate from 7am to 8am
9) I will be out today and tomorrow to put up big signs at major street corners.
10) My favourite for all to do. Go fix damaged or knocked down lawn signs. The ploughs are doing some damage out there. Be safe doing it, and know that you are also helping the environment by putting a sign up that can be taken down later instead of having it turn up in the spring when the snow melts.
11) I walked once with my MP to knock in doors which was an enlightening experience
12) I did flyer drops to about 60 homes (no knocking).
13) When the election is over, collect up as many CPC signs as you can to return to the campaign office.
Go to your church, and ask your pastor/minister if you can have a few minutes of your congregation's time.
CPC stands for Christ (alone in this country, sad to say)...so make the most of that and get people out voting!
