Now An Official Volunteer!

Well,almost. Orientation/open house coming up! My first Women for Obama meeting coming up! For the first time in my 53 years I am really getting involved in a way beyond voting. Thank you all so much for your inspiration. I wouldn't be doing this without the positive vibes I pick up here in the BOG (and the push from my daughter)! Thank you all so much. Let's all stay positive, excited and committed! LUV YA!

To me hat was the most rewarding part, working with my sons toward a goal that affected the entire country. And my youngest was the one who got me to support Obama to begin with.

They were just the right age at just the right time. We will always have that. And the convention was here so we even got to go to that together.

Thank you for your work!

My daughter was a volunteer for Obama 2008 and was so proud to cast her first vote in a presidential election for Obama! Right age at the right time! Thank you so much for all of YOUR work!

good for you! In 2004 I went out to help register voters. Plan to get involved some way this year too.
