Denver or BUST!

I'm volunteering at the DNC Convention in Denver this year!!

I'm super-excited, and I decided to spend time before and after the convention campaigning for Obama in some fabulous "red" (purple!) states.

I'll be driving from Berkeley, CA through Nevada and Utah and Wyoming, door-knocking and registering voters along the way. Here's my itinerary (click on the points to see the details):

If this looks like fun to you... there's good news! I have room in my car for a couple solid Obama fans. I can pick you up if you live near my route, and we can rock the northwest US for Obama together. Click here to learn more about how to sign up to travel with me.

I'm hoping that local Obama supporters will help me to make this campaign trip a great success. I've asked for help with housing and local orientation. If you think you might be able to help, please click here to learn more about how we can help each other to get Obama into the White House!

My first stop will be the Nevada State Fair in Reno!!! Voter registration, wiener-dog races, and Republicans for Obama, oh my!

Democratic National Convention (Denver)

The Democratic National Convention will be held in Denver this August. And guess who will be there??



I'll be volunteering and live-blogging from the convention, and I'll be driving from Berkeley CA through Nevada and Utah to Colorado, campaigning all the way! Ooh, I'm so excited!

But the best part is that Obama just announced today that he will give his acceptance speech not just for the fancy important delegates, but he will give his speech to the American people. On August 28th, Barack Obama will accept the Democratic Party's Nomination for Presidential Candidate in a stadium that seats over 75,000 people. It will be free and open to the public. Here's some great media coverage compiled by Obama Blogger Amanda Scott. And some more media coverage.

He's also offering 10 supporters (who donate $5 or more before July 31st) a special opportunity to meet him backstage (and be flown to and from Denver with a guest!). Click here to donate to the campaign and enter to win this exciting opportunity to be part of the change!
