Downtowners for Obama to meet Saturday, June 28

A friend of mine asked if I’d post this, and being a Barack Obama supporter I’m happy to do so:

What:  Downtowners for Obama

Where: The Majestic Grille

When:  Saturday, June 28, 2008 @ 3 PM (note time change from 5 PM)

Join your downtown neighbors during this historic campaign to help build a united volunteer organization in our neighborhood that will register new voters and build support locally.  We’ve had an unprecedented primary season that built a grassroots infrastructure in all 50 states — not just for Barack, but for all of the Democratic candidates.  Now it’s time to bring all of that energy together for our common cause of change.  All across the country, Democrats, Independents, and even Republicans are tired of the politics of the past and are looking for new solutions to the challenges we’re facing as a nation.

That’s why we’re launching a nationwide day of action on June 28th called “Unite for Change”.  All across the US, volunteers will host “house meetings” with the express purpose of reaching out and bringing folks together who supported all of the Democratic candidates (and those who are just tuning into the process now).

From the beginning, this campaign has been about ordinary people reaching out and building the bonds of community — empowering one another by coming together to make change.  With the general election approaching, it’s more important than ever to keep this momentum going.  No matter what your affiliation, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the candidates and their stance on some of the major issues in this campaign. 

For more information or to volunteer please email me at clay.thompson@chrobinson.com or call 901-619-7053 and leave a message.
