July 4th in New Florida

Sumber: my.barackobama.com

Yesterday, Obama staffers, fellows, and volunteers were out in full force at the Albuquerque City Fireworks at Balloon Fiesta Park. Kristen is in Florida working for the Obama campaign. She spent her weekend at voter registration events. Never leaving the house without a couple of blank registration forms, Democrats across Florida grabbed a few extra this 4th of July.
Hady, from Melbourne, organized an all day voter registration drive to coincide with the Independence Day festivities. He organized volunteers by the hour and sent us some exciting numbers.

We got 91 Voter Registration forms, and about 15-20 volunteers showed up, and another 15 signed up for events in the future!

Across the state in Tallahassee, an Obama crowd set up a tent at Tom Brown Park. Here's a note from Rick, an organizer of the event:

The Obama campaign had an EXCELLENT showing at Tallahassee's Fourth of July festival at Tom Brown Park! We set up our tent around 1pm, and our first shift of about twenty volunteers arrived soon afterwards to receive training on voter registration.

The local newspaper estimated that up to 40,000 people visited the park yesterday, and we were in a prime location. Thousands of people got off the shuttle busses and couldn't miss our tent as they walked to the main concert stage.

The sun beat down on us all day, but the heat couldn't stifle the energy and enthusiasm for the next President of the United States!! All throughout the afternoon and evening, people LINED UP to talk with us about the Obama campaign, register to vote, volunteer, and take a picture with our lifesized, cardboard version of Barack!
In Brandon, the East Hillsborough County Democratic Club rocked the SS Liberty in their parade (check out a couple of boat shots above), while the Oviedo crew of eleven volunteers collected close to 50 voter registration forms! Let's keep rolling, remember never leave home without a few voter registration forms.
