The Democratic National Committee will report today that September was the committee’s best fundraising month of the election

Brad Woodhouse, a spokesman for the DNC, said the organization plans to report raising more than $16 million last month; in
March, the committee raised about $13.3 million.

3. Right! Get everyone you know out to the polls

Even if you don't know their political affiliation, chances are their voting pattern will be similar to yours--"birds of a feather," and all that. ;)
