In days the immediately following Barack's acceptance speech in Denver, Colorado supporters set, and then met, an ambitious goal of registering 4000 new voters in just four days. On Monday, supporters in Fort Morgan celebrated Labor Day with a picnic and voter registration drive, with a special appearance by former State Senate President Stan Matsunaka. Jenn Prosser is on the ground in Colorado:
In 1894, Congress declared the first Monday of September to be a federal holiday. The holiday, Labor Day, was to be a "day off for the working citizen." Yesterday, the Morgan County Democrats got together for a picnic at Riverside Park in Fort Morgan.
Kerrie was there registering voters. She talked to us about the movement for change in eastern Colorado.

Here's a video from the event:
