A message from Utah State Director Suzanne Gelderman:
Rachel and Rob are traveling across the country creating a photographic essay of grassroots Obama supporters called "We Are The Ones Project". They came to Utah Obama for America headquarters on September 1, 2008.
In their words: "Specifically, we're highlighting average citizens and grassroots communities as the real stars of this campaign, by giving them a celebrity-style photo shoot at Obama events. Selected portraits will be exhibited in a New York gallery show in November and eventually published in book form along with collected stories gathered at house meetings, rallies, and fund raising events throughout America."
Check out the photographs of Janet Lee and her dog with the giant Obama puppet she created; Bob and Malinda Bills, a couple that comes for Data Entry Night every Monday; Maggie Flanigan, a high school intern who is at our headquarters every day after school and on weekends, and her friend who came to volunteer for the first time ever that night.
