About a week ago, I created an event "Obama Supporters Study Party". I've already had over 15 people sign up, more than I can host. People seem to really be hungering for this -- and it's a great way to raise enthusiasm, build relationships and especially to embolden people in speaking up for Obama!
I started it because it's hard for me to just sit and read through things and learn. It's too dry, not the way I learn best. I thought it would be easier to study with others. Some in a group will understand different issues better and we can share our expertise and learn together. Some will be more, and some less, informed. Those well informed can share their knowledge, and those less informed not only learn, but in the process help those who know more to speak out what they know. We'll not only be learning Obama's platform, but learning to speak out what we know.
When I was telling my husband about it, he said -- is someone coming to lead it? Is there a procedure? I just shook my head. We're going to get together and see what happens. And I'm excited about it and know it will all happen perfectly. We'll teach and learn from each other. After it happens, I'll write a post about how it goes. But you don't have to wait to start one for yourself. Obviously a lot of people want this!
I'd love to hear from anyone else who has done something like this and learn about your experience with it.
