Hello Texas Panhandle!
Today, among other exciting news which I'll let Veronica or George share, many Amarillo Barack Obama supporters met at Memorial Park alongside Washington street.
We held signs, waved and smiled. Many people honked, or smiled, or pumped enthusiastic fists behind their windshields and out of open car windows as they passed. Some were negative, yelling obscenities or "flipping the bird," even with children standing around.
More than anything else, it was beautiful to show Amarillo that, yes indeed, there are Obama supporters here. You don't have to be afraid or ashamed, even in a highly Republican area. I had several conversations with passerbys who were curious to talk to "real Barack supporters."
Even though some held different views, those who stopped to talk were open and honest, and so were we. It was nice to have intelligent, even passionate discussions without ever needing to resort to smear tactics or negative campaigning.
Yes we can, Amarillo, and we're already doing it. Join us!
