We are only two weeks out until the final vote. I am wishing that I could have done more. Having lupus and being a single mom and no car has made it difficult. I have phone banked from home and headquarters, worked on events, talked to anyone who would listen as to why I believe so much in this team, registered new voters, wore my buttons everywhere, proudly kept my sign in my front apt window and made small donations when I could. Yet, I feel like I should have done more. I plan on devoting the last two weeks to making calls from home to help to push us to the finish line. I also have read and watched everything I could get my hands on to be an informed voter and be educated to speak to undecided voters. I have also had to listen sometimes to people who remain so close minded about Obama and will never "get it". I am sad for them because they are the ones who are missing out. I know that once we have " President Obama", they will realize that he wants the best for each and every one of us.
I also want to wish Barack's grandmother good thoughts and prayers. I truly pray she will get to see him get elected and make history. I so respect him for taking time out for her. It just makes me love him even more .
In Victory we go,
Charlene
Hello fellow Obamans,
I am part of a group of Sacramento for Obama responsible for our own event every month. Our first event will be August 15th and August 17th at CalExpo state fair . We will be set up outside the fair in the free speech zone. Our goal is to spread the word and the message, do some fun things and raise some donations for the cause. I am excited to say that I actually came up with this idea and am working with a great group of people who have thanked me continually. I thank them and I thank Barack Obama for giving women like myself the emotional courage to stand up and say "enough is enough", we can do better. He can do better. I have never campaigned for anyone in my 47 years so he has really impacted me on every level. I hope lots of people stop by our table and say hello and spend some time with us. We look forward to meeting you. Our location should be outside the main gate, but I will update if anything changes.
