On Tuesday, over 1,200 people turned out in cities across Colorado as the Obama Campaign for Change celebrated the opening of four campaign offices. The people of Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo turned out in masses, eager to get involved in the campaign and help build Colorado's movement for change.

In Denver, the office was overflowing with people and excitement as supporters from the Mile High City talked about the general election and the hard work ahead.

Noerena, a volunteer at the Denver office, said she was thrilled by the turnout:

I think it shows the excitement that there is all over the city about the campaign. People are ready to start working and playing their part to help win Colorado. I feel the urgency of winning this election and I see that throughout this state. I've been helping register voters and make phone calls. Every little thing that we do could swing this election. Every little thing -- every single voter registration card we get filled out, every phone call we make -- could be the deal-breaker that send Barack to the White House.

Mayor Hickenlooper took part in the celebration and spoke to the crowd of 700, sharing his enthusiasm for the campaign and the significant role that Colorado will play in the election. City Council President Michael Hancock and State Treasurer Cari Kennedy joined the mayor and voiced their determination to help elect Barack.

City Council President Hancock said:

I want you to know I have cleared my schedule for all of August. I'll be here with my sleeves rolled up, helping you to stuff envelopes, put stamps on those envelopes, make phone calls and send Barack Obama to the White House.

The parties in Boulder, Colorado Springs and Pueblo were also great successes. Here are some photos of the celebration in Pueblo:

This is only the first round of office openings for Barack Obama's Campaign for Change -- more will be popping up across the state soon. Check back on the website for more information.
