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

OBAMARAMA Art Event at Hahn-Ross Gallery 7/6 was HUGE & BIG success!

1,000 folks attended! 600 t-shirts sold!!!

The event was fantastic in all respects! The turnout
was shoulder to shoulder for more than 3 hours; the excitement was palpable; T-shirt sales were brisk; the live music was toe-tapping, and program very enjoyable. A much deserved congratulations to Tom Ross and all the folks who made this event possible and who ran it so smoothly!
Then at our big volunteer meeting on 7/14, the T-shirts were on display and available for sale. Once again, they were a big hit!
Not too late to order one for yourself or little people you know. Visit the Sprouts for Change website. Plus, there's a great documentary on YouTube showing and telling all about the Obamarama concept including interviews with the artists.
