Take A Trip To Nevada For Obama

Dear guy --



There are less than 50 days to go before November 4th, and Californians have a major role to play as we gear up for Election Day.

Supporters like you have stepped up at office openings and events across the state to declare your support for Barack and take an active role in the campaign. But to win this November, we must continue building our organization across California and keep bringing folks into our grassroots movement -- not just here, but all over the country.

That's why we need your help. As an Obama supporter in California, you can make a huge impact by traveling to Nevada to talk with voters about why Barack Obama and Joe Biden will bring the change we need.

We have a real shot to win in our neighbor state Nevada, but the race is extremely close and you could make the difference.

We are organizing a special trip for Californians travel to Nevada and grow our movement there. Will you take a short trip to Nevada to make a big difference for Barack?

John McCain has made it clear that he intends to continue George W. Bush's failed policies. Just yesterday, he repeated his belief that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong."

Here in California, we know that's not the case. It shows how out of touch McCain is from what's going on in the lives of ordinary Americans.

The past eight years have been devastating for families in Nevada, California, and across the country, and it's time for us to say: Enough.

That's why we're going to be counting on supporters like you to take a leadership role and travel to Nevada, a crucial battleground, to spread Barack's message of change.

Face-to-face contact with undecided voters is the single most effective way to grow this movement. No experience is required, and we'll help you make the trip as easily as possible with either housing in Nevada or discounted group rates at an area hotel.

Sign up for a Drive for Change in Nevada and make a short trip to make a big difference:

Junior Achievement Volunteer Teaching Program

I recently volunteered through my work to do the Junior Achievement Teaching Program.  I was assigned to Mr. Sandstrom's fourth grade class at Los Penasquitos Elementary School.  I taught them Business 101 for an hour a week,  five weeks total.  I have to say it was great!     

If you have an opportunity to either volunteer through your work or by contacting Junior  Achievement directly it is very much worth your while.  Gives you a chance to see what it's like to be a teacher and gives you a chance to teach a classroom full of kids about important subjects.  I will do it next year again for sure.

 

So if you have a chance check them out it's definitely worth it.  It really shows you how hard teachers work, how valuable they are, and how much they need all the help and resources that we can possibly give them.  After all they teach our kids.

I do want to say thank you to all you teachers out there.  You have a tough job and i respect what you do.  I hope more people start taking the education of our children as seriously as they do and give them the help that most desperately need.
