Obama supporters in Barcelona are invited to attend a group photo as part of the international Bridges for Obama Project.
Sunday May 18th
12 noon to 1230
At the Rambla de Mar Bridge
How to arrive: from the Ramblas walk down to the Columbus Statue and keep walking towards the water, you should see the bridge from there. We will meet at the green metal post at the start of the bridge and have coffee afterwards. (this is the bridge that connects the waterfront near the ramblas to the Maremagnum shopping center) The closest metro stop is Drassanes (green/line3).
A picture of the bridge is at http://seaofchicago.org/

I'm sorry to report that Saturday's event has been cancelled.
In performing due dilligence on the event format we contacted Daniel Dozier - Online Finance Assistant & Americans Abroad Coordinator and he recommended not holding this event. It is not supported by the Obama campaign
We will keep you updated on the next events to be held and apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused.

Hi, for any of you all going to Brussels, we hope to see you bright and early before all the caucus action starts for a fundraising workshop!
Dear All, If you are an Obama supporter who is planning to attend the Brussels EMEA caucus, we would like to invite you to an informal Obama to discuss fundraising ideas, on Saturday morning, before the Caucus. The purpose of the meeting would be to give us an opportunity to discuss what has worked well for us in our different countries, as well as sharing some thoughts on fundraising direct from the campaign (via Daniel Dozier) and putting together some initial thoughts for raising money as a group in the next 5 months until the convention and discussing how we can best work together. This meeting would be a totally unofficial "side meeting" to the main event, but we felt that the opportunity of sharing our collective knowledge was too good to pass up. Proposed Time: 7:30AM Saturday, 15 March (we'll try to keep it to a tight 1 hour and conduct further discussions online) Proposed Location: Let's meet in the lobby of the Crown Plaza, where the Caucus will be held. Proposed Agenda: 1) Fundraising: the Basics (summary of Obama University presentation) 2) Best Practice: What has worked in your countries so far? 3) Forward Planning: Brainstorm of proposed fundraising activities for the next 5 months (until the Convention) 4) Working Together: Devise protocols for pan-European communications and cooperation If you would be interested in joining us for this knowledge share and brainstorming session, could I ask you to reply to this e-mail? karinjr@hotmail.com If there are others from your countries who you think would be interested in joining us, please by all means forward it along to them. Although the focus in Brussels will obviously, and appropriately, be on our delegate selection and platform processes, I don't think we can afford to pass up the rare opportunity of having our pan European supporter group in one place. Hopefully this will serve as the start of a larger conversation that we can continue when we are back in our countries. I hope that you can join us! All best wishes, Karin Robinson
Hi Everyone! Tomorrow should be an exciting day in the States as Ohio and Texas could both go for Obama, meanwhile, here in Barcelona and Spain we've been busy.
This past Saturday we had a button party in Barcelona, with 12 Obama supporters coming over to make Obama Barcelona buttons. This brings us to a total of 4 events with 50 people attending since we started organizing in January.
Coming up on Friday is a fundraiser for Obama supporters in Madrid with a senior Obama foreign policy advisor. If you would like to attend, give me a buzz at admlang at gmail dot com or call me at 615316999 on Tuesday morning.
We are also planning fundraising events for Barcelona and if you would like to help out, let me know!
Go Obama!
20 people from the environs of Barcelona gathered in the center of Barcelona for the Obama Abroad call in last night. With 15 confirmations, it's always nice to have more people show up! We listened to Dr. Brezinski speak about why he is supporting Barack and he fielded some questions about foreign policy. Groups from Madrid, Barcelona, Mallorca, Rome, Milan, Paris and London (and others) were on the call, with Paris claiming 80 attendees!
Extra points to Dr. Brezinski for including the word "Haberdasher" and the expression "Conclusively Concluded"
Rambla Catalunya 85, Principal 1ª
(next door to Häagen Dazs, close to calle Mallorca)
Please arrive 10 minutes early, to not disrupt the call.
