As the momentum for Barack grows in early states, Nevada is aiming to capture the enthusiasm by opening three new offices in cities with an already strong base of grassroots supporters. The new campaign offices in Henderson, Boulder City, and Winnemucca will bring the total number to ten across the state—more than twice the number of offices of any other presidential candidate.

On a conference call with reporters this afternoon, David Plouffe announced the growth of the organization in Nevada.
"This campaign's strength is based on our incredible volunteers," said Plouffe. "The new offices will support the grassroots organization that we have built in every corner of Nevada and will allow for supporters from many communities to take part in the campaign on the ground level."
Already up and running are regional offices in Carson City, Reno, Elko, Pahrump and three in Las Vegas.
Plouffe also noted the growing momentum for Barack Obama in all four early nominating contests.
"The tightening of the race we are seeing in the early states reflects the strength of the Obama campaign's grassroots organization and the growing momentum for Senator Obama's candidacy,” said Plouffe. “Our campaign’s focus will remain on building the strongest precinct-level grassroots organization in Nevada, reaching out to potential caucus-goers and getting them active in their communities.”
The support in Nevada is growing, and our organization is working overtime to keep up. When Barack was in Las Vegas on Monday, he announced the new winter internship program that is going to provide real world experience, in one of the most important early states in the country, to those of us who are willing to stand up and speak out for change. We are encouraging anyone in the West who wants to get trained for a Get Out the Vote/ Caucus effort to join us in Nevada this winter break. You can make an important difference in the momentum for the February 5th extravaganza, by helping an early state like Nevada, while also being trained for your own local organizing efforts.
Meet great people, learn tons of valuable organizing tools, and help Senator Obama win one of the four early state contests—what could be more rewarding? Get a gift this holiday season that keeps on giving, and take a week or more out of your break and work in Nevada to turn the page and change the world. Ready to go?
