Liz, who is on the ground in Maine, writes about last night's convention watch parties in her state...
Last night, across the state, supporters watch Senator Barack Obama accept the Democratic nomination.
In downtown Portland, supporters of every kind gathered at the Empire Dine and Dance to watch Barack speak. As the crowd erupted in cheers, the band even took a break to join in.
From Machias to Fryeburg, people opened their homes and welcomed their neighbors to share in the historic moment. Supporters in York enjoyed dinner beforehand. Rep. Michaud dropped by a party in Lewiston, and the crowd in Auburn welcomed Barack—in cardboard form.
As Obama shared his plan for change and his vision for our country, Mainers watching did more than just cheer: they took the next step to ensure Barack Obama is our next President—they volunteered.
To win in November we need more than stickers or yard signs or cheering, we need each and every person that believes in change to join the campaign and reach out to people in their community. This weekend, the Campaign for Change will be holding Weekend of Action events across Maine and reaching more voters than ever before. Find an event near you and get involved today—Yes We Can!
