obama mode

We went to see Obama yesterday in Roanoke with the little one (Dylan) and it was so exciting to be there with a huge group of people all hopeful about the direction of our country. We were pretty far away, but we got to get in pretty quickly thanks to some volunteering we did.

I wish I could say I got a really good picture of Obama, but we brought the silly silver camera and it couldn't seem to focus on the tiny spec of Obama in the sea of people around him. Thats a good thing though.

Thanks to Colleen at Loose Leaf Notes who steered me and Josh in the right direction for local democratic activism. We're doing door-to-door canvasing tomorrow and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about that. I haven't gone door to door since my days as a girl scout. I'm thinking it might be easier to sell cookies.

Also, Josh cracks me up. He has decided to leave obama pins with a generous tip when we eat out. The first one was left at Smokey Bones in Roanoke.



It looks like other people are in need of change!

I love the picture of Obama with 100,000 people in St. Louis today.

Hopefully people are smart enough not to vote for another 4 years of Bush's failed policies (and yes, that's what a vote for McCain is.)

The said 100,000 attended the St. Louis Rally! Over 8,000 in our neck of the woods.

It must have been fun hanging out with Dylan. He's such a fun kid.

Maybe we'll meet at the Floyd rally this Friday.

Counting on a landslide for Obama! Keep up the good work. We're doing what we can on the West Coast.
