Today...
I made 125 phone calls for Barack Obama...

- I found 7 volunteers willing to go to North Carolina and help out.

- I found 6 people to help phonebank.

- I identified lots of Obama voters, only one mentioned Wright - she said she hoped he said something soon. While we were on the phone, literally, I was scannng DU headlines and saw the *** OBAMA ON CNN RE: WRIGHT *** thread. I told her and we were both so excited, we got off the phone to watch. I'm sure her fears were put to rest..

If you couldn't help out today, please consider donating to boost Obama's April fundraising numbers. For every dollar donated on that thermometer (above the $120 it started at), I pledge to make one more phone call tomorrow.

I'd love to make more calls for you!

9. Thanks for all you do.
I'm not much of a writer/poster. I'm more of a numbers geek who loves getting out and meeting people -- born to canvass. Could that be a new Springsteen song?

14. I am SO jealous!
I wish I had the time right now. Our local PA staffer went to NC and some of our team members are heading down to help him.

22. Thank you, FLDem!
This is great news for us..it all had to be played out and now thanks to Wright going off the deep end..Obama had to sever ties on a national stage.

25. Great work!! It is really fun to make calls because the Obama supporters are pumped up and the
Hillary supporters are decent in their responses because our lists are all Dems.

27. actually I was quite lucky on 50 of the calls
I called Obama supporters to ask them to go to NC - so that was some fun calling! They were all still so pumped about Obama.

28. Have you posted a thread on how people can make those kind of calls?
That's a really good idea and everyone loves to make positive calls like that. The excitement is really starting to pick up around here (NC).

29. I was given the link twice now
when I went to make calls. Maybe because I am on the national call team? I don't know. The second time, it was given to me by a local group to call from. I don't have it anymore.

If they re-send it to me, I'll post it. I think Crispini posted the link that brought you there once, too.

I'm glad things are picking up there. I spoke with someone from Howard who said she was looking into getting a bus and filling it with students who wanted to volunteer, since classes are done there.

DUers are the best - I'll get right on it, as soon as its not too early to call people's homes (maybe 9:00a.m.) and post my results. You guys are awesome!!
