Reply #9: I'm glad that you had such a great time.

I volunteered in one of her campaign offices in NJ and we had as many young people as we had people in other age groups. One of the girls that came every day after school and also on weekends was only 17 years old and couldn't even vote in the primary!!!! We had Hispanic older women who spoke little English but would call other Hispanics. We had big burly union guys who were very funny but had the dirtiest mouths and we had plenty of professional men and women like myself who would come after a long day at work and on weekends. There were also African Americans (not all of them were for Obama) and Asians. The cutest kids were a group of 4 or 5 boys from a nearby yeshiva who started coming in on their own until the rabbi caught them. He talked to the campaign director and they too started coming after school almost every day.

Yesterday we had a great time! We started at 5AM sending out people to hand out materials at the main terminal hubs so people would be reminded to vote (We had the Giants rally and some people had to be reminded). We sent another group later on at the evening rush hour. During the day we made over 2,000 calls to get out the vote. The campaign took care of us and they had plenty of snacks, drinks and at lunch time and dinner they ordered pizzas. We ordered so many that the pizzeria owner said that he went out and voted for Hillary as a thank you for the business. LOL!!!

They also bought beers and wine for the adults after the polls closed and we all sat down to watch the results. We did have to wait until the press left though, several of the papers came to take pictures and ask our opinion on the results. I was quoted in 2 of the papers.

All in all, it was a great night. I left after they were getting the results from CA because I had to work today. The rest went to a bar since today would be their first day off in weeks.
