| Description | The Obama Fellows fresh off of a 4 day training session in Portland arrived at the Jackson County Democratic Headquarters promptly at 2:00 PM yesterday. Their new offices were decorated, 12 phone lines are up and running, the wireless network security key written on the whiteboard, a basket of granola bars and bottled water stacked on a shelf with no jittery energy drinks in sight. Wait until they discover the beer in the office fridge. The Jackson County Democratic joint is jumping!
The NYC Obama field representative in charge of his flock is fresh off a tour of duty in Iraq. We met a college student from Boston College, a journalist from Virginia, a retired teacher from CA, students from AZ, VA, CA and an ER doc. They look like the America I want to live in, white, African American, and Hispanic. They are not in Jackson County to fundraise for the Obama campaign. We can go to the Obama website if we are so inclined to donate they firmly explained. We were told to focus our fundraising on our local candidates, music to my ears since we are working hard to support Ms. Lynn Howe in her race for State Rep. in HD #6 in Medford. They are here to register new voters, hold house parties, and to build an even bigger group of Obama volunteers before they leave in six weeks. |
