Countdown to Change Party at Matt's House for Obama's Iowa Campaign
Obama volunteers nationwide are hosting house parties on Saturday, September 15, in support of the Obama campaign's efforts in the early primary states. I will be hosting one at my place, at 7pm, with food and drinks. This will be a lot of fun and really helpful to the campaign.
We will be sending postcards to voters in Iowa asking them to support Obama in the caucus, which is important because its the first in the race.
The campaign sent out this email a couple weeks ago urging people to attend these parties:
"In mid-September 2003, national polls showed Joe Lieberman to be the front runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. Then John Kerry won the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary, and the shift in momentum carried him to a decisive victory.
The lesson: early polls don't mean a thing and success in crucial early-state contests will win the Democratic nomination.
With the first votes in the 2008 Presidential campaign now less than 150 days away, we're entering a decisive time in our movement.
To build momentum for Barack in the early states, supporters nationwide are hosting Countdown for Change house parties on Saturday, September 15th.
Together, we are counting down the days until the early primaries and caucuses -- in Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, and South Carolina -- and now is the time to leverage our national movement to make the maximum impact in the early states.
Attend a house party and you will:
Take part in an exclusive conference call with our top staff in the four early states.
Reach out and make direct contact with voters and organizers in the early states.
Meet fellow Obama supporters in your community and build networks that are vital to our success.
Never before in American history has the presidential nominating contest been as compressed or early as it is now.
We can only win in these essential contests if our strongest
supporters combine their efforts across the country.
This phase of the campaign is when early organization must transform into on-the-ground action. You can be a leader in this action by signing up to attend a house party today."
I hope you all can make it, this will be a lot of fun.
