"Vice President Joe Biden on Why You Need to Get Involved" +
  1:01 web video from April 20, 2012.

[Music] Biden: Organizing in our communities is going to even be more important this year than last election for the simple reason, as the guys on the other side have shown and promised they're going to spend several hundred million dollars carpet bombing the president with negative ads. 

And there's only real antidote to that, and that is face to face contact with the voters.  And that takes shoe leather, that takes people willing to put their reputation on the line for the president and me, saying look, I'd like you to take a look at my two guys.  I think they're good guys.  I have faith in them.  It's important. 

We have to have the single best ground game in the history of presidential politics to counter what is estimated to be hundreds of millions of dollars in just raw, negative attack ads.  That's why it's so important this year.  More important than it's ever been in my view.

Notes: The video features Vice President Biden speaking after his April 12 appearance in Exeter, NH.  Scenes of organizers calling, canvassing and registering voters are intercut.
