Summary of Obama Teams Oconee Mtg. 9/9/08
- This is an update of the evolution of the Oconee County, Georgia work for the campaign for Barack Obama for President. Even though our period of work with a national campaign staffer may be over, it is time for the local folks to take command and make him win in Georgia. You can do a lot with a little. Bring a cell phone to the Sanctuary at Second and Barnett Shoals Road on every Tuesday and Thursday. Go get some yard signs in Athens or Lexington. Register voters this weekend at Krimson Kafe. Ask people in your neighborhood if they are registered to vote. Explain to people why you feel passionate about Barack Obama and how absurd the attacks of the right are.
Thanks to Kathleen & Lawrence who graciously allow GA For Change gatherings in The Sanctuary where we've met since July and where we met last night. Also thanks to Tiffany Kingery for her help over the past 6 weeks. We are sad to say "bye" to Tiffany, and we applaud her and the rest of the Obama field staffers as they move their operation into the critical states that will determine the election. Meanwhile, the Georgia For Change campaign remains vigorously alive here in Oconee County (and, we trust, throughout the State) as attested by the attached Minutes of our meeting last night. Thanks, Elaine, for taking minutes. Only a few of the highlights are cited below. Open the attachment for details.
