MoveOn.org Urges People to Skip Work on Election Day

CNS News reports:
The liberal activist group, MoveOn.org is urging people to skip work on Nov. 7 and volunteer to call voters in 30 competitive districts in an effort to get more liberals to show up at the polls.

"Take the day off work," MoveOn.org said in a statement released Thursday. "Skip your annoying commute. Skip those endless meetings. This election is the best chance we've had in years to change the direction of our country. And we have a plan to put dozens of races over the top by making hundreds of thousands of get-out-the-vote phone calls on Election Day."
No word yet on whether MoveOn got this idea from observing the City of Chicago workforce.
