Yesterday I volunteered on the upper west side with two groups Broadway for Obama and Three Trees Democrats. It was an eye opening experience. Even in our city on the upper west side we found alot of people were not registered to vote or needed to chage their address or needed an absentee ballot. In the 4 hours I was there, we signed up dozens of people including just turned 18 year olds. I even met a little girl maybe 10 years old who bought a button to wear proudly. Her Mom was already teaching her how important it was to vote!!! Three cheers! I ran into a friend and she said "Aren't you preaching to the choir up here?" I said, "well in a away but you would be surprised how many people are not registered to vote!!" Also people took absentee ballots for their out of the country family members. I talked to Hillary supporters who were disappointed but were still voting for Obama. I explained to them why I had supported Obama from the beginning. It was a very nice exchange and it helped to understand where they were coming from. Even a man passing by talked to me about it. We had a nice exchange as well. The more people who get excited about Barack the better. This is the first time in my life I have ever been excited by a Political figure. Barack is special and his ideas are spreading and it's like an infectious laughter.
If you have even a couple of hours to spare, volunteer. Especially my actor/dancer/model friends, your outgoing nature will be an asset.
Please join my group Performing Artists For Obama. Lets create something with flair and get the word out!
