Obama campaign and voter registration volunteer opportunities

Hello everybody,

In case you might not have already gotten this, here's a fwd from the Obama campaign's Regional Field Director, Alex DeGolia adegolia@barackobama.com :

Hello Athens area Obama Activists!

The Obama campaign has arrived in Athens, and we are ready to work in order to turn Georgia blue this November. We are currently operational on the top floor of 220 Prince Avenue, directly above the Athens-Clarke County Democrats office. This campaign has always been about working from the ground up--engaging more people than ever before in the democratic process and making a difference community by community. And that's exactly how we plan to change our country. There are a number of ways that you can help the campaign right now in Athens:

1) Come to our organizational meeting this coming Tuesday, 7pm! It will be at The Transmetropolitan, 145 E. Clayton St., downtown Athens. Go upstairs and to the back. The organizational meeting is an opportunity for anyone interested in getting involved in organizing and implementing voter registration events during the week and on weekends to ensure that we register thousands of new voters in the Athens area before November. You will meet our staff, Obama Organizing Fellows, and other volunteers interested in working with the campaign. We'll discuss what we're doing in Athens now, and what we plan to do moving forward. Click the link below to sign up to attend the organizational meeting.

2) Help register voters on July 4th! The campaign is setting July 4th as a huge day of voter registration all across the country. We need your help volunteering to register people here in Athens, both through events that we set up and at your own neighborhood BBQ. Please respond to this email if you are able to help out on July 4th. Also, check out my.barackobama.com in coming days for specific voter registration events on the 4th.

3) Come into our office! We're currently located directly above the Clarke County Democratic Party, 220 Prince Ave. Stop on in and learn more about how you can volunteer any day of the week! There is always voter registration and phone banking to be done, as well as numerous other activities that can help the campaign.

Thanks so much for your interest in the campaign, and we hope to see you soon! Feel free to contact me via email if you have any questions or are interested in volunteering outside of the events listed above.

Sincerely,

Alex DeGolia

On a personal level I would just like to say that for the first time in my life I really am excited about the presidential election and I am (also for the first time) trying to be involved when and where I can. So, hopefully I'll see you at the meeting on Tuesday night! :)
