Shemdogg, count me in. I know I don't meet the post count req (I have everything else), but I'm pretty sure you've seen me around, and I've been here since 2007. I've also helped out with voter ID efforts in other states recently, so I have experience. PM me for email addy?

Thanks!

How about if they like Santorum but would like to see Romney lose?

I can volunteer to lookup names/numbers and I have a gmail account.
 
I got a question. Some of people on the list changed adress. People dont report different adresses from ones written in documents. I do. Should I stop?

Got answer:

get number only if they are in same county.

What I am doing is if I find a hit on the same name somewhere inside Maine itself, I look in Wikipedia to see if the new town name is part of Washington county or not. If yes, then I skip the number box in the spreadsheet and put the info in the 'comments' box. Otherwise I just write "May have moved" in the comments box.

If you look at tab 'Whiting' and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list, you can see what I mean. That's what I am working on now.
 
Tip: Other services to use are: WhitePages.com, YellowPages.com, and ixquick.com

Also, there is a service (can't remember the name right now, but you can submit to them a list of names/addresses/etc) and they will find the phone numbers automatically and return the results within an hour (but it isn't free - they charge per successful result). It's one of the main providers too. If anyone is interested, I can find it. If we are under a severe time crunch, this might be worth it.
 
I'm not sure how many numbers you need to lookup. Anyway, I wrote a little PHP script that can do white page lookups automatically, all night long if need be.

./whitepages_scraper.php
whitepages_scraper.php [Options]

Options:
-o FILE Send output to FILE
-v Verbose mode. add commentary to stdout.
-n number of days to grab. default = 1
-d Include extra debugging information on stdout
-t timeout timeout value for each http request
-g Go. Run the scrape.

So, if you guys want to use it, I am happy to donate the code, and you can run it yourself. You will need a functional php installation, preferably linux as I haven't tested it on a windows box.

Or, if you want to give me the list, I can run it myself and get you the results.

shemdogg -- let me know... I'll check back within the next hour.

If you are using AnyWho under results is a map with position of that phone number. You can see borders and enlarge it or opposite (I cant remember the word... lol)
 
bump for activism !! great plan. i always thought just like DP people are mailing brochures to people in targeted areas, whether the grassroots could have a targeted phone calling system too.
