I am working for Obama...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I've never been this involved in a Presidential campaign before.

My job is very small, almost insignificant, but it might help us win...

I have to say that even though my job is small, I am pretty busy with it. I have friends who are politically active a lot more than I am, who are almost always working on one campaign or another, and my admiration and respect for them just took a huge jump...

How do people do it?

I don't know...

But I do know how much I respect them.

Thanks for helping Obama out there in California:patriot: :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear zidzi!

Aw, you're welcome!

My work here is actually going to help in the state we adopted: Nevada!

I'm scheduling folks to do the data entry work that will be generated by the folks who are doing the calls into Nevada!

We hope to identify the people who are leaning towards Obama there, so we can persuade them to come aboard!

We want to turn silver Nevada BLUE!

:bounce: :bounce:

[Cha]

11. Oh yeah, that would make

[SpookyCat]

12. Hi Peggy!

I don't know how people do it either, but I feel that anything one does is good.

"each to his own abilities, each to his own needs..."


I'm going to Nevada weekend after next to canvas, (so freaked out!) phone banking, the occasional Move On thing here in my appt. I recently got one of my least politically involved friends registered to vote for the first time, and a promise she is going to vote!

So I think anything you do is meaningful, and just think how good it will feel when we WIN!!!


:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear SpookyCat!

I see you're in San Francisco...

We have people going to Las Vegas from here too...

And they will be doing the same sorts of things you'll be doing!

I agree...all contributions are meaningful, and how right you are about how damn good it will feel to WIN!

I can hardly wait!

:hi:

[Lionel Mandrake]

15. Keep up the good work.. K & R

You are helping us avoid four more years of Republican stupidity, mendacity, abuse of the environment, curtailment of civil liberties, and war crimes.

This is a really important election.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear Lionel Mandrake!

Thank you for your very kind words!

I strongly agree about avoiding four more years of Republican stupidity etc...

I believe that this election is the most important one of my entire life.

I'm hoping that any contribution of mine, however small, will help make the difference between victory and defeat for our country.

[FrenchieCat]

17. I love you!

:pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear FrenchieCat!

Why....We scarcely know each other, lol!

No, really...

Thank you...

I'm doing what I can...

:pals: back atcha, sweetie...

[MattP]

19. I worked a phone bank in 04 but I am doing alot more this time around

I'm working tommorow registering voters at a local grocery store, it's more for our local congressman because Ca. should be a slam dunk but I am headed out to NV. for a few days to work in Oct. with Team Obama.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear MattP!

A lot of folks here in SoCal are heading for Nevada too...

Registering voters is also very important work!

Good for you!


:hi:

[No Elephants]

21. How do people do it? They know how important it is. They care. Great that you are doing it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thank you!

And everything you say is true...

[blondie58]

23. way to go, C-Peg!!!

I have volunteered with my field office, also. Barack was right- this election is about US and we can make a difference.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Thank you, my dear blondie58!

This is definitely about us...

I can take having my life a little more complicated for the next month or so, in return for a much better country to live in!

[UrbScotty]

25. I am so proud of you, my dear CaliforniaPeggy!

I just came back from entering over 120 voters into the VoteBuilder system!

:applause:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear ih8thegop!

Aw...

Thank you...

Right now, I'm feeling so overextended...

Your very kind words have helped me immeasurably!

And you're doing very important work too!

:hug:

[progressiveforever]

26. Thank you, Peg--my respect for Barack Obama grows daily

We have the greatest candidate I have seen in my lifetime.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. My respect grows daily for him as well!

He will lead us to a much better country, I believe...

Thank you!

[kid a]

29. You are THE ROCKSTAR of DU and the Obama Campaign!! THANKS!!!

:headbang:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. My dear asSEENonTV!

Oh, you are too kind!

I'm hardly a rock star of anything...

But I thank you!

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

30. My dear Peggy!

Every bit helps, be it a little time, a little money, whatever it is a person can do.

Thank you, thank you, for your part in this! :patriot:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear SeattleGirl...

That's all true...

But tonight I'm so tired...

I don't know how the folks who do this sort of thing all the time keep up...

I'm going to be very happy once this election happens!

Thank you, sweetie...

:hug:

[rebel with a cause]

31. I want to say thank you to all of those volunteering for Obama

across the country, including you Peggy. I not in a position to do that this year, but I know from doing it in 2004 that it is both tiresome and rewarding. It is especially rewarding when the candidate is Obama. The guy is special, at least I think he is.

All I can manage this year is I am sending out information I find here and on the net to some of my email friends who are then sending it out to their network of friends. They are reaching so many more people than I can, but I feel like I do a little good if I help them find the information. They have lives, so they don't have the time like I do for all the latest news. ;)

Anyway, again I thank all of you for sacrificing your time and energy for this election. May the powers that be show us some mercy and not allow the repugs steal another one from us.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear rebel...

I appreciate your kind remarks so much!

It is both tiresome and rewarding...

I think we will win, this time...

There's such a huge push!

:hug:

[rebel with a cause]

38. let us all hope we will.

things are such a mess, I feel for Barack, but I think if anyone can figure this all out, he and his will be the ones to do it.
:hug:

[AtomicKitten]

32. Many hands make light work.

Thank you so much for your help!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. My dear AtomicKitten...

Thank you for saying that...

I appreciate your support!

:hi:

[Born_A_Truman]

33. That's wonderful Peggy

I volunteer with other local Dems here registering people to vote on weekends in front of grocery stores and wish I could help in Nevada. I haven't done phone work because my voice won't take it and I really like getting out there in person. I want Obama/Biden to win so much! Thank you for working for the campaign.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. My dear Born_A_Truman!

Registering voters is such important work...plus it's fun!

I'm glad I can help...

Even though right now, I'm tired...

Thank you!

:hug:

[my3boyz]

40. No job is small and insignificant! You are helping to elect the next president! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. Thank you!

I'm needing the boosts I'm getting here tonight!

When you're stuck in the middle of the details of a campaign, it becomes very easy to loose sight of the prize...

You just helped me regain my vision...


:hug:

[Median Democrat]

41. We Can't Win Without Folks Like You

The only way we have a chance is with volunteers who are willing to pound the pavement and register voters, and walk precincts. This is an old school election in an internet era, and I love it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. And there are lots of folks like me!

I'm confident that we will win this one!

Thank you...
