Late Sept./early Oct. 2004--Canvassers prepare to head out at the ACT office at 1403 NW 40th Ave in Fort Lauderdale.  (Below) Muzzammill Shotande, a medical technologist and member of SEIU 1991, was one of the star canvassers in this office.  He started in July and said he has gotten to meet a lot of people doing the work.  Also present (but not pictured) was volunteer coordinator Ron Beitelspacher of Grangeville, Idaho, who started ten days earlier; he stated, "This is my America...  I made a decision to come here to help to ensure that everyone who wants to vote can vote and that their votes count."
