Just got off the phone with an Obama Organizer

[AllentownJake]

I'm hosting a house party Saturday and they gave me the plan going forward with the volunteers.

1) Help put pressure on Congress for President Obama's agenda

2) Organize for local elections in 2009 and congressional elections in 2010

3) Be civically minded and chose a group that helps the community. One group so our impact can be greatest felt.


I'm also getting a DVD. They said they are keeping over 100 people on staff to keep the volunteer network mobilized and organized.

Good signs...good signs.

The rollout for this effort will be at the house party. Since I'm hosting I got a call from Chicago from one of the Obama grassroots leaders...

Sign up for a party

4. This is EXCELLENT

I'm heartened to hear of their agenda. Keeping the grassroots fired up and talking to Congress PLUS working on 2010 elections now is brilliant.

[AllentownJake]

10. Not just 2010

They were talking 2009. Which means municipal elections...that is the breeding ground for state and federal office...sounds like they are doing what the GOP has been doing for years!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

13. Now I am catching the 2009 reference

and that is the way to go.

5. That's great!

I got an email about hosting a party but I didn't have time to answer. I definately will in the future. How exciting!

[AllentownJake]

7. You can still go

Check to see if there are any in your area.

14. I'm going to check now..I just got fired up again! n/t

[DevonRex]

8. Yeah, me too. For once, though, I acknowledged my limitations.

I just hope they got somebody else to do it who isn't too far from here.

11. I got a call today too!

And it turned out that it was our volunteer coordinator in SC during the primary. She is now in Chicago. I was thrilled to talk with her. And she said the same thing....that we can rest assured that the volunteer ground operation will stay in tact! :)

12. To the continuation of the Revolution
