Among three candidates - a Green, a Republican, and a Democratic incumbent indicted on multiple corruption charges - Louisiana Green Party candidate MALIK RAHIM is the only one who truly looked after the people of New Orleans, the people of the Ninth Ward, etc., after the scandal of the levees that were allowed to break after Hurricane Katrina.
In the days following Hurricane Katrina, it was Malik Rahim who helped to found the grassroots assistance organisation called the COMMON GROUND COLLECTIVE.
Today and all through next week YOUR HELP is needed to make phone calls to New Orleans voters -- from now up to Election Day -- as well as to potential donors/supporters outside New Orleans.
If you know anyone who can GO to New Orleans to help, please do try to recruit them, too.
We also need your help to raise as many little contributions of CASH as we can, and especially NOW and over THIS WEEKEND, BEFORE MONDAY. After Monday we still need donations but we need as many funds as possible to already be donated to the campaign THIS WEEKEND in order for the campaign to be able to USE THEM as soon as possible to be effective.
$5.00, $10.00, $20.00, etc., please contribute online through PAYPAL
www.votemalik.com/contribute -- or call the campaign and donate
over the phone. See www.votemalik.com, or email info@votemalik.com for methods of donating besides Paypal online.Please forward this message and ask your peeps, your organizations, to help also! Thanks!!
Phone banking only requires a computer with Internet connection, plus your phone to make long-distance calls (for all of us calling from outside New Orleans).
Phone bank info and SIGN UP are here:

As Bruce Dixon writes in his extremely telling article, below:
"In a low turnout environment like this a few votes, a modest contribution of money or time can make a big difference. "
He adds, "If you want a change, be that change."
