Last night our local neighborhood team leaders got together one last time. I think one team wanted to meet and someone mentioned it to someone else who e-mailed someone else and pretty soon there were 20 people coming together.

I actually made it home last night by 8:30 after 12 hours. As a dry run for Election Day yesterday went incredibly well.

I was originally concerned that we wouldn’t have enough data packets for all the volunteers so made arrangements to walk a neighborhood for [...]
Over the last month I’ve become involved with volunteering on a neighborhood team for the Barack Obama campaign. What I had thought would be a few hours of canvassing or phone banking has turned into nearly 30 hours a week of meetings, volunteer recruitment, phone banking, canvass working and data entry.
It’s been both fun and [...]
