Unite For Change Rallies Tomorrow - You are Invited!

[globalvillage]

Got an email from Senator Kerry today about the Unite for Change Rallies happening across the country tomorrow.
If you're in the west Pittsburgh area, see you at Fairhaven Park!

Hello GV,

What an incredible campaign for President our Democratic Party enjoyed this year - culminating with two groundbreaking candidates debating the issues across the country. Senator Clinton and Senator Obama engaged millions upon millions of Democrats and Independents throughout the primary season and helped spread the message of big progressive change to so many.

And now we're a unified Democratic Party. The unity of our Party is on hand for all to see today - in - ironically -- Unity, New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are holding an event together showing the strength and unity of Democrats as we take back the White House and change our country.

And across the country, Democrats, Independents, and yes, even some Republicans will be holding Unity for Change rallies tomorrow Saturday June 28, to show our common purpose as we bring change to our country. You can find out about a rally near you, or even host one yourself, by visiting this site and putting in your ZIP code:

There are thousands of these events all over the country, in houses, function halls, outside and inside, almost anywhere people can gather. Millions of Americans will be coming together to build our Democratic Party toward victory in the fall. We've all had enough of Republican failures, and this weekend people all across our country will meet and plan what they can do to get our country moving in a different direction.

I hope you'll join us tomorrow, Saturday June 28th. Just follow the link below to find an event near you. It may even be at your neighbor's house, or someone just down the street. You'll get engaged in your own community as part of this nationwide rally.

If we all put everything we have into it, we can remake the political map and get our country moving again.

Thank you,
John Kerry

8. And, I got an email from Obama's Jon Carson

on the same..

"Tomorrow, Obama supporters all across the country will be hosting more than 4,000 Unite for Change events.

The goal of Unite for Change is to bring together people who supported all of the Democratic candidates, as well as Independents and even some Republicans. Obama supporters like you are reaching out to anyone who is tired of the politics of the past and looking for new solutions to the challenges we're facing.

People have signed up to host more than 4,000 events tomorrow -- and they need your help to bring change to their communities."

Good Day for beginning the GE united.

9. I'll be attending a 'morning coffee' gathering...

...for Obama. It's sounding like a large group (for this area). I'm looking forward to meeting a few local 'hopemongers.' :7

10. Have fun, Yvonne.

I have to help set up for ours. GoBama!

12. Thanks, GV...

...for the warm wishes. I just got home and HAVE to share. :7


The event was a morning coffee from 10-noon in a private residence. The host couple were wonderful...I think one of them is/was a teacher (like me) at some point. This was their first time doing anything like this, so they were REALLY excited to have so many people sign up. (They mentioned to me that they had originally set a capacity at 30 and increased it to 50, because they had so many signups. :) )

I'd guess there were 40+ people in attendance...and it was a very diverse group. There were singles, couples, Democrats, Independents and 'former' Republicans, people from their 30's to 70's and from all walks of life. This part of Ca. is near several military bases and usually votes heavily Republican...so this turnout was exceptional. Our hosts lead a discussion about the issues of the day, Obama, and possible tasks for our group. It was really nice to discuss issues with like-minded people! :)

We ended with a commitment to meet again in two weeks at the same place, and plan from there. We also had a signup available for tabling at the local mall...starting immediately.

I did really enjoy myself. And, as a person who tried to start groups here in 2004 (where only 1 or 2 people would show up), it was great to see so many people ready to start to work.

GOBAMA!!! :7
