VOTE!!

I am heading to New Hampshire for a long, long day helping out in whatever way the Obama campaign needs me. Here’s hoping to a fabulous, joyful celebration at the end of this day!!

A new experience–canvassing in NH–well worth it

I just did a day of canvassing in Meriden, NH via the Obama office in Lebanon. I’d done two phonathons previous (one for Addison County, my liberal home community) and another calling known Moveon.org members in Florida. This was not dissimilar in content, but quite different experientially, I must say! I pretty [...]

Women for Obama!

From an email forwarded to me:
Next week the Obama campaign would like to roll out lists of hundreds of thousands of American women — homemakers,teachers/educators, nurses, businesswomen (non-profit and profit), community organizers, medical professionals, et al. — who are willing to publicly endorse Senators Obama and Biden as [...]
