"We spend our weekends debating Bush's unilateral policies, and we feel that John Kerry is the candidate who will lead our country into an era of peace" say high school sophomores from Green Hill High School Ashley Fortner and Yvette Ferrer.

Staffing the phone bank at GCI's MoveOnPAC Headquarters in Miami, these articulate young women call voters to get out the vote. Yvette speaks Spanish and English fluently, and French passably. Ashley is fluent in all three, which helps them both contact the diverse Miami-Dade communities.

"We were scheduled to go home tonight (Sunday), but our parents agree that helping get out the Kerry vote in Florida is worth missing a day of school."

Volunteers and precinct partners have descended in force this weekend on key battleground states to identify Kerry supporters, walk precincts, and get out the vote for Tuesday's election.
