Will you call voters to help Ned Lamont win?

The race has acquired national significance: as the New York Times wrote in endorsing Lamont, it “has become a referendum on [Lieberman’s] warped version of bipartisanship, in which the never-ending war on terror becomes an excuse for silence and inaction.”1
Eighty-five percent of Connecticut MoveOn members voted to endorse Lamont. Now we need to help him win. Turnout in primaries is notoriously low, and victory on Tuesday will depend on who votes.
