I have had the opportunity to go to Iowa the last 2 Saturdays and walk the streets of Iowa going "door-to-door" for Barack Obama. As I get some quizzical looks from some friends/family who I have talked to when I say that I am spending my Saturday walking in Iowa. I spent sometime this past week on why I do this.
I truly believe that we are making a difference by realizing the importance of the next election and having conversations with people about issues that face our nation, our caucus/primary process and our candidate, Barack Obama, and other candidates.
