HELP! I want to start a voter reg event.... how????

[FirstLight]

(x post in GD...dropped)

I am fired up right now and want to sign up on obama's site to host a voter reg event... this is just too important to leave to chance.

There are three places that are active for Obama in the Carson Valley - but none here at the lake. i live in CA, but I have the chance here to make things happen in NV as well...which could be cool, because I think it is leaning toward Obama anyway. Though NV has traditionally been a red state.

SO, I was gonna call my friend the MGR at the local grocery, and maybe set up a table in front of the place for a day or so.

Can I wear my obama t shirt...or is that biased?

Do I have to be a NV resident to do this on the NV side of the lake?
cuz i could set up camp in front of the Safeway there as well...

I would love some guidance from you guys, cuz i am a TOTAL rookie! ;)

Some Californians are canvassing Nevada by phone and on foot.
