- This is a single-sided Spanish-language document printed in black ink. All of the text in the document the same font and the same size. It begins with [Buenos Días/Buenos Noches, esta _______ en casa?]. This document is a script for Obama campaign callers in Fairfax County Virginia. The script asks questions about support for Presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain and Virginia Senatorial candidates, Mark Warner and Jim Gilmore. It asks diverse follow-up questions depending on whether the individual is a Democratic Party supporter or a Republican Party supporter/mixed party supporter. If the individual supports Obama and Warner, the caller is directed to ask if the individual they are speaking with would like to volunteer for the campaign. If the individual supports the Republican Party or a mix of Democratic and Republican candidates, the caller is to inform them that they personally support Obama and Warner because of the current government’s disregard for rising health care costs and rising gasoline prices that make it difficult to save money. The caller is to state that the nation needs new leadership to unite the country and solve these issues step-by-step.
- About 5/6 down the page, the line [Muchas gracias por su el tiempo que ha dedicado a escucharme] is in bold. This translates to [Thank you very much for the time you have dedicated listening to me.]
