I'm going to my first "Obama for America" meeting today.
I don't know how many people are going to show up because it's pretty early in the campaign season, but ths is NH, so we have to organize early. We have to come up with ideas for this presidential campaign. We had momentum going for us the last time, but I'm sure this time will be different. Does anyone have any fresh ideas for this campaign? Out of all of you, there must be some good brainpower out there.

2. I volunteered in the last campaign.
It was great. I did mostly phone work and visibility and I met alot of great people. I'm 58 and I got to know alot of young people. They really impressed me. They were alot more mature than my generation was at their age, and very competent. (Of course, to be an intern for Obama's first campaign, you had to come from the Ivy League or have some other praiseworthy accomplishment).

5. Take FDR's Second Bill of Rights with you and brainstorm ideas on how to
start running toward the oppositions goal line again.
