WE HAVE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

I am administering this site for Santa Fe Grassroots for Obama volunteers and friends. Now that the election is over, the topics have broadened to local community events. I encourage each of you to find your passion and make it happen by volunteering and getting others involved. If you'd like to share and spread your volunteer interests, write something up and I'll post it. Along those lines, you'll find things here now that I am personally passionate about. So please join me! My best, Gaye Pollitt

We registered voters May 10th in Albuquerque. Santa Fe is next!

Saturday (May 10) a merry group of seven Santa Fe “Grassrooters” went to Albuquerque to be part of Obama’s 50-state kickoff in 100 major cities for the November general election. This VR drive is serious business and worth every trickle of effort we put into it. If we do it right, we will help Barack win New Mexico and, in concert with with our Grassroots counterparts across the country, we'll elect him to be our next POTUS (President of the United States)!

So, we joined about 50 other volunteers from Albuquerque for training at 9 am at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union Hall. At 10 o’clock, we dispersed to various locations around the city. Over the next few hours, the volunteers registered approximately 150 people total. The Santa Fe contingent gained some valuable insights into the process and some ideas for how to organize our own upcoming voter registration days in Santa Fe.
