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

GLBTQ for Obama moves into high gear! Planning group needed.


Pride on the Plaza was a great success! Our group in the parade won third prize. Also, 17 volunteers signed up 54 new volunteers and registered 74 people to vote! Now, we are energized and moving forward. Our goal is to mobilize the GLBTQ community to get out and exercise their support for Barack. But we need your help.

We would like to form an organizing committee. In the coming weeks we will plan:
*A unity party

*A Listening to America party (giving our input on the Democratic Platform)

*A fundraiser for the regional office

*Getting the word out at monthly GLBTQ dances

*GLBTQ-sponsored voter drives and phone banking

*Getting GBLTQ-friendly businesses actively involved

We would love to hear your ideas. Join us in making this a successful campaign and electing Barack Obama as our next president. For more information please call Cheri or Sue.
