Greg is part of the Obama campaign staff in Colorado. Yesterday, he attended a Denver event hosted by supporters...
Across the state, Obama volunteers and fellows took every opportunity they could to reach out to voters and register new ones. Here in Denver there were numerous events celebrating the birth of our nation, and the campaign had a presence at many of them – spreading a message of patriotism by getting people actively involved in the democratic process.
An “Old-Fashioned July 4th Celebration” at Four Mile Historic Park was filled reenactments of important moments in the country’s history and talented actors portraying notable American figures.
Another Illinois politician and former president, Abraham Lincoln spent a little time talking to us.
We asked him how he felt about another Illinoisan running for our nation’s highest office. The former told us that no matter what state a candidate came from they should be a person of character – he chose not to endorse at this time.
It’s not too late to get involved this 4th of July weekend, find an event near you.
