My last post asked "How Do We Participate?" I'm starting to answer my own question.

Last week I attended a luncheon given for volunteers by my local Democratic Central Committee. What a nice thing to do! They asked if any of us would like to volunteer through their office for activities of the Obama Administration. We live in the suburbs of Washington DC and would be available on short notice for any work needed to be done. I think everyone signed up!!

This morning I submitted my application to work for the Inauguration, primarily during the days before the Inauguration and right after. What and experience that would be!

There are opportunities out there where we all can participate in this wonderful new Obama Administration. I believe it is up to each one of us to look for the opportunities to use our particular skills.

Today on change.gov under "Join the Discussion" the question is "What social causes and service organizations are you a part of that make a difference in your community" The questions there are interesting and thought provoking. Lets all keep active by following through and answering the questions asked!

As I was making calls for Barack Obama during the primaries and general election I often felt that I learned a lot about our country and understood it just a little better. The results of November 4 may have surprised a lot of us. I certainly was surprised by the size of the win! But there is no question that it came about not only because of the fantastic candidate that we supported, but also because of the millions of people who volunteered for and contributed to his campaign. Let's keep working to make this country what we know it can and should be!

Yes We Can!
