“We’re a family”

from Laura Wilson at the Obama campaign blog: http://www.barackobama.com/news/entry/were-a-family


85-year-old volunteer Vivian Carter and team leader Margaret Hagerman, friends and Obama organizers in Northwest Indiana

Team Gary in Northwest Indiana gets together every Saturday to volunteer—and while they’re all working hard to get President Obama re-elected, they have fun together, too. During a recent voter registration drive, new and veteran volunteers showed up to enjoy some coffee, show off their Obama 2012 buttons, and make some calls to folks in their community.

Listen in as team leaders Margaret, Vivian, and Rose talk about how the Obama campaign is bringing people together in Gary.
