Make History!
Work to Elect Barack Obama in November!

Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. is running campaigns on behalf of the National Democratic Party to Make History by Electing Barack Obama this November! The lengthy primary season has significantly shortened the time we have available to prepare for the general election, and we need to make sure to sign on as many supporters as possible! This year, we can truly make change and make sure that our country is back on the right track!

We are hiring Canvass Directors immediately!

Job Description:

Directors will lead a fundraising office on behalf of the Democratic National Committee. Since Obama has pledged to fund his entire campaign through individual support, without accepting lobbyist or PAC contributions or federal tax dollars, we must talk to as many people as possible and sign on new small donors to close the gap between us and the Republicans!

Prior political field work is not a requirement; we provide apprenticeship and training to entry-level candidates. Of course, relevant experience is an asset and may qualify candidates for additional leadership positions.

Make History!
Work to Elect Barack Obama in November!

Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. is running campaigns on behalf of the National Democratic Party to Make History by Electing Barack Obama this November!

This year, we can truly make change and make sure that our country is back on the right track!

Paid Campaign Jobs for Election Year with Progressive Future

2008-08-18T08:30:13-07:00

76% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way things are going today. And why wouldn't they be when:

The U.S. is pouring $6 billion a month into the war in Iraq, money we could use at home to expand health care, improve access to higher education, and invest in alternative energy sources to combat global warming. Here�s why you should Invest in US:

* From dangerous heat waves and shrinking snowpack to extreme drought and increased wildfires, the dangers of global warming are cause for immediate action. Energy efficient homes and businesses, cars that go farther on a gallon of gas, and renewable energy like wind and solar are the solutions, and they�re at our fingertips.

* Many qualified high school graduates can�t afford to go to college. Many more who can are forced to go deeply into debt to get a degree. Too often, our public schools don�t have the resources they need to properly prepare students for college.

*40 million Americans have no health care, and 9 million of those are children.

We have the technology, the know-how, the money, and the spirit to start working toward solving these problems.

Take a stand for America�s future. Apply to be a Progressive Future Canvass Director

If you�re looking to start a career working for nonprofit, progressive groups, there�s never been a better time or a better way. Between now and Election Day we�re hitting the streets, getting on the phone, going door-to-door, working on college campuses, and organizing volunteers to make sure that decision-makers hear from progressive Americans that want to bring our troops home, ensure health care for all, invest in a stronger education system and take serious steps to stop global warming. This year, with your help, we�ll register and mobilize 1.8 million voters in the swing states of CO, NV, NM, MT, VA, OH, IA, MI, WI, PA, and NH.

Ideal candidates are motivated, action-oriented college graduates who are interested in politics and want to make a difference to get the country back on the right track.
