OBAMA CAMPAIGN UPDATE

The Washington County campaign held another meeting on Saturday, March 8th, at the Citizens Library. Again, we have a very nice turnout of enthusiastic Barack supporters.

The meeting was followed by a day of new voter registration canvassing. This is our main focus until the March 24th deadline.

Absentee ballot applications are also being made available to those who need them. A big thank you goes to the staff of the Citizens Library, especially Judy Davis, who were so helpful the three times that our group met there.

Our last meeting also dealt with the formation of our leadership team which will be responsible for recruiting volunteers in various areas of the campaign. We are inviting fellow Democrats, Independents, and Republicans to join us.

We continue to register new Democrats to vote for Barack and his delegates on April 22. On March 13-15 and again on March 20-21, we will be at the Walmart at Trinity Point. On March 15, we will also be at the Washington Crown Center from noon-4 as part of the Minority Health Fair.

We will then wrap things up on March 22 with a lunch (you pay) at the Ponderosa Steak House at Trinity Circle. This will be followed by a final push to register new voters in the area. Volunteers are always needed. Call or contact Paul Rafail at 724-942-0217 or rafailp@verizon.net

Finally, we are excited too for our friends in Greene County. They have been faithfully attending our meetings and are now working hard to establish their own branch of the campaign. GREENE COUNTY FOR OBAMA will meet on Saturday, March 15th at the Bowlby Library, in Waynesburg, at 11 AM. This will be followed by a community canvas for new voter registration.
