I Just Got Called by the Obama Campaign!

[CatBO]

I almost never answer my cell phone when I don't know the number, but I was sitting here reading DU and I saw the call and I thought to myself, "Maybe it's worthwhile..."

So help me it was someone with the Charlotte Obama campaign! She asked me if I could volunteer for events in my area. I told her I was going to Greece for 2 weeks, but that I wanted to help very much. I have done one canvassing event and I said, "I know when I get back it's going to be too late to register new voters but is there something else I can do?"

She told me there were going to be plenty of phonebanking/canvassing activities even after voter registration ended, and she gave me her name and phone number and even better she knew where I lived and told me there was sort of a satellite office just a few minutes from my house where they are going to be working M/Tu/Thu nights from 6:30-9PM! I told her that the one thing that made it so tough to get to the main Obama office is just that it's so far from my house.

So I have promised to call her the day that I get back and I have added her phone number to my favorites list. I said, and I quote, "I'm calling you the day that I get back. I am so there. We're going to do this!"

Yeah! I hope I made her night as much as she made mine. :D
