Phone Out the Vote

We at Drinking Liberally like to talk -- that's why we do it over beers every week.  We think talking is a pretty powerful way to connect to people.  

So naturally, we smile when a telephone company figures out yet another way to be an awesome progressive partner.

CREDO is giving its customers free Election Day calling.  So, don't worry about burning your minutes as you call everyone you know to remind them to vote, or phonebank with a campaign calling voters, or work in the field and need to check in with fellow canvassers.

It's all free.  You could call it, ahem, Talking Liberally.

This is on top of their "Text Out the Vote" plan which allows you to set up text GOTV reminders to friends that will be sent on November 4th.  Plus their newly-launched Go Vote which confirms registration and gives you polling location.  And their totally rocking voter registration widget.

Oh, also they don't censor pro-choice texting and they didn't help the government spy on you.

In past years, I burned through my minutes in the months leading up to elections, so much so that I invested in bigger plans, earlier evening hours and unlimited texting.  I don't know other people's plans for Election Day, but I hope it involves talking -- constantly -- in person, at doors, online, and on the phone.

You can become a CREDO customer and get the unlimited calling -- and the includes all the excited calls you'll want to make as the results start coming in.
