Signing up as an Obama Precinct Captain means making a personal commitment to the campaign. But along with that commitment comes the opportunity to be a big part of our strategy in Texas.

Here's what Obama Precinct Captains need to do:

Identify Obama supporters in your community and recruit more -- campaign staff will provide you with a packet of resources to help
Support Barack in your precinct on March 4th, 2008 and help mobilize neighborhood supporters to join you
You don't need any previous experience to sign up. You just need to support Barack and be ready to turn your energy and enthusiasm into action.

It requires some responsibility, but don't worry -- we'll be here with all the materials, training, and support you'll need every step of the way.

5. I will keep you updated!

I hope the campaign will have some guidance for me. I am sure I will hear more soon. I'm a great team member, but not so much a leader, so I like to have guidance to rely upon.

3. That is so wonderful that you signed up, Lisa! If you have the time,

I would love to hear about how the job goes between now and Mar. 4th.

6. I am excited!

I wish i had more vacation time saved up so I could take some time off from my job. As it is, I imagine most of my work will be on weekends.

I am hoping they will have a Galveston county plan, maybe even office through another local volunteer. This has been a pretty dependable Democratic county and it has a strong African American community and Hispanics too.
