Thanks for your diary and your commitment. BTW I have a ticket to see Obama in Oregon tomorrow--the Portland Obama office was swamped with 12,000 people getting tickets for the Portland event, not including those of us online!

Why oh why did I ever move back to L.A.!! Well, I know why, just wish I could have stayed in Portland.

I thought it said "Wool" (bad eyesight) and wondered if you were actually from Pendleton. ;)

I had to put some time into work lately or I may have found myself without a job due to my overzealoous obama efforts but I'll be picking up my efforts again.
Good to hear the news. Let's do it people! He needs all of us.

For a relatively small town to get a visit by the Big O is pretty amazing. On the other hand, Eugene has influence because of UO. Plus he will have a nice time with the folks there. I think this is an example of how hard the O is working to get that nomination. After all, where is Hillary--are we already not important enough? Wait--never mind that last question, she has probably talked to people here and understood what her reception might be.

You are demonstrating why Obama is ahead. It doesn't matter if the media is treating Obama well or poorly - either way thousands of volunteers like you are stepping away from their computers and doing what it takes on the ground.
You have the power to change America. Yes. We. Can.

HRC and the media are obsessing their little hearts out, Kossacks (including me, I'll admit it) are worrying, but the rest of the voters in the real world keep on keeping on admiring, supporting, and planning to vote for this man. Thank you, Acacia!

I hope this motivates even more people to get out and do what they can. We have voter registration drives going on in NC and PA, probably in IN as well.
The PA voter registration deadline is this Monday, so if anyone can get to PA this weekend, PLEASE go!
I trust Barack Obama.

This Saturday, let's all donate at least one hour of our time to helping Barack Obama. We can call, we can email, we can write LTE's, we can donate... It's all good.
I'll post a phonebanking diary Saturday around noon Central Time. I really hope folks stop by and report the results of their own phonebanking!

Your diaries have been an inspiration to kath25.

and I so appreciated not only all you did in Texas but keeping us informed along the way. I felt like I was almost there.

It's time for everyone to step it up.

You should send this to Obama's site.
