Oakland: March 2007

Oakland: March 2007
Arrived late. Parked illegally. Streets empty. Still. Only this magnificent voice, winding around the corners, echoing upside the skyscrapers. Goosebumps. This is History. I am a part of history. And everybody else knows it, too

Countdown For Change

I suppose this is the 5th house party I have hosted since Februrary; each RSVP delivers new faces and even more enthusiasm and 'fired up, ready to go' support as we now enter the last four months prior to the Iowa Causus.

My group today munched on strawberry wholewheat panckes, chicken salad, assorted fruits and lavosch and talked precincts, blocks and how we're all going to be prepared with packs of lifesavers to hand out candy "O's" to everyone we talk with.

We used our meeting as an introduction to newcomers who very much needed tips on how to use the website to access information about events and join groups as well as committing to attending our CD organizational meeting 10 days from now.

I urge anyone who hasn't done so yet, to sign up at barackobama.com and try hosting an open house or informational event or finding one near you. These are phenemenol opportunities to share information on why people are supporting Obama. Today's major themes emerged as honesty, integrity, strength, character. A few of us are planning to coordinate a trip to New Hampshire to help local chapters knocking on doors.
