Tonight I attended an event called "Cocktails for Change" which was essentially a mixer/meetngreet with other Obama supporters and campaign organizers. I met some great people, made some Saturday morning canvassing plans, and got a friend more interested in being active in the campaign. And there was some delightful sangria.
I have to admit that I was nervous before going. I've done voter registration (in fact earlier today I played that part) before, but sometimes it can seem daunting to go to meetings or just walk into a place by yourself with unfamiliar people. The motivating and great part of it though is that you meet interesting people and talk about some enlightening things. It's fun to hear the different stories about the wild experiences people have when canvassing or registering people to vote.
As a result of tonight, I feel closer to the movement. I'm gearing up for more action and the last final push of the next few days to register voters. I look forward to sharing my own experiences and insights as the campaign progresses.
