What a day we had at the NxNW Longmont staging location, with at least 100 volunteers coming through our doors. It was a honor to work with great folks like Phyllis, a natural healing arts practioner who was an Obama Fellow, Jamey who came from California to help us, Tom whose experience with the local Dems guided us so well, Jonathan was a DNC delegateg at age 29 and then lead our team on election day, and the Obama guys Matt, Andy, Dan, and especially Jacob, our Field Organizer who grew so much in stature and leadership during our months of work together. Thanks to all the volunteers, like Trish, Aynshet, Ben, and all the others who canvassing weekly leading up to the election, and those who came in at the end for the big push. Thanks to our neighbors - it was such a joy to meet other local folks and to feel rooted in our community in a way we've never felt before, and to those who came up from Boulder to help out, and those who travelled from California and elsewhere. Thanks big time to Ira, the love of my life, with whom I shared this incredible ride.
Obama, God bless you and good luck! I'll be here, with the others, holding you accountable in the organizing tradition that you respect, and expect.
