Following up on Sarah Ramey's post, on Thursday, January 10th, we opened six new offices in Colorado. About 1700 people showed up and every office was hopping with energy and excitement.In Denver, Senator Gary Hart and Secretary Federico Pena both spoke at our volunteer office opening at 937 Santa Fe Drive. Check out this video feature a local group did of the event:
We spoke to Barbara, a professor, at the event---she's been involved with the campaign since March when she saw Barack and Michelle on Oprah. She began donating to the campaign right away, organized the first call center, served on the planning committee for Barack's visit to Colorado in June, and is now a precinct captain.
This is her first time ever involved in a campaign, and she actually changed her registration from Republican from Democrat so that she could caucus for Obama on Feb. 5. She says that she "likes the kind of leadership that brings people together" and thinks Barack has that.
In this campaign, people are so excited to come out and be a part of the movement. He [Barack] can bring that excitement to the White House.
That is the real power of this campaign - that it's a movement for change.To get the address of your local office, click here.
