Hill Harper Kicks Off the Street Team Program

Shayne Adamski — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 01:29:56 EDT

Last week was the kickoff of the Stream Team in Albuquerque at Kelly's. More than 300 people signed up and committed to getting the word out about Obama-Biden and to register new voters before the Voter Registration deadline on Tues Oct 7.

The event was kicked off by local elected officials and actor Hill Harper, who has been friends with Barack since they attended law school together. He travels throughout the U.S. encouraging people to get involved in this campaign, so we can bring more people into the democratic process.

Check out some pictures from the event. And make sure you and all of your friends and family are registered to vote. Visit http://www.voteforchange.com

CSI:NY Star Comes to Exeter

Matt Lehrich, NH Obama Staff — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 20:29:21 EDT

Stepping off the set of CSI: NY and onto the stage at Phillip-Exeter's Fischer Theater today, Hill Harper spoke to more than 50 students and local residents about why he is "passionate about what Barack is going to do for the country."

Drawing on their personal relationship as classmates at Harvard Law School, Harper stressed Barack's authenticity, character, and outside-the-Beltway experience.

He reminded the group that while most presidents of the Harvard Law Review go on to prestigious clerkships and lucrative corporate law jobs, Barack chose to return to Chicago to run a voter registration drive. Harper particularly praised Barack's time as a constitutional law professor, saying, "[Barack] has a real knowledge of and respect for the ideals this country was built on."

Tori, a Phillips-Exeter student, appreciated the personal insight:

With politicians, it's sometimes hard to know who they really are. One of the things I like about Barack is that he seems very authentic. It was nice to hear someone who knows Barack personally confirm that.

Harper also urged the students to take advantage of New Hampshire's unique role in selecting our next president:

You have the opportunity to impact who is the next president of the United States, how many high school students can do that?

After the event, Emma, one of the leaders of the Phillips-Exeter Democrat Club, said she expects the students will take an active role in helping to elect Barack.
