If you want to awaken in 75 days to a progressive victory led by President Barack Obama, it's time to act now for the GOTV Boot Camp. Whether you're working to Get Out The Vote on Team Obama or in a local race, it's time to gather your team together and consider the following excerpted from Campaign Boot Camp http://PelosiBootCamp.com:

Identify your call to service:
1. Does your campaign reflect your service mission?
2. Are you fulfilling the promises and commitments you made?
3. Did you commit the necessary time, energy, resources, and reputation?
4. If not, what would you change?
5. How is family life? Is everyone still on board?
6. Does the campaign reflect the vision, ideas, and values that inspire the call to service?

Know your community:
7. Has the campaign visited every possible neighborhood?
8. Do you have the demographic breakdown, financial information, and voter data?
9. Have you identified your winning number and can you reach that goal?

Build your leadership teams:
10. Do you have the people in place to succeed?
11. Did the candidate and lead organizer fully commit themselves and hire people who work well together?
12. How has the kitchen cabinet handled surprises and setbacks?
13. Are the house meeting hosts having events and building the volunteer corps?
14. Did the finance council raise the funds needed to implement the campaign plan?
15. Is the election protection team in place?

Define your message:
16. Is your message getting out there?
17. How have allies and attacks affected people's perceptions of the campaign?
18. Anything you need to change here?

Connect with people:
19. Have you reached the people where they live?
20. Any debate positives to broadcast or gaffes to overcome?
21. What is your online presence?
22. Who have been your best allies and validators? Are they available in the next 75 days to help?
