Tonight over 80 house parties were held in Oregon to raise support and money for Barack Obama. U.S. Representative Earl Blumenauer (a supper delegate supporting the campaign) and former U.S. Senator George McGovern (a one-time Clinton supporter who recently endorsed Senator Obama) held a conference call with participants. I was honored to speak at one of those 80 house parties tonight. Allyson Spencer invited family, friends and neighbors over to show their support for the senator. This was the first time Allyson had ever held a house party for a candidate and her house was packed. The people there shared their admiration for Senator Obama’s courage in taking principled and progressive positions. Oregon’s vote-by-mail primary is May 20th. Show your support for Senator Obama’s campaign by making a contribution here. As always, I also urge all my friends in America’s diverse religious communities to make a special show of support by joining People of Faith for Barack.
