271 East State Street in Columbus OH is downtown, just a couple of blocks from the Greyhound bus terminal.  They're on the block that's just east of 4th Avenue

I worked with a guy named Eric Greenwald.  His email is egreenwald@ohiodems.org   Email him ahead of time and let him know you're coming.  He's a good guy.

Different people have different preferences, but my own experience is that volunteering directly for the Kerry campaign is about 1/3 again more effective than volunteering for ACT.  The reason for this is that, when you canvass for Kerry, you're wearing Kerry stuff, you say you're volunteering for Kerry, so everyone knows why you're there and 90+% will answer your questions.  When I volunteered for ACT, most people have no clue who ACT is, and at least 40% of people are highly suspicious that you're going to ask them for money and won't talk.

As to other activities, the Kerry campaign really needs smart people as I illustrated above due to their huge room for improvement, whereas ACT seems to know what it's doing.  But hey, whatever floats your boat...
