Canvassing in Colorado

Just got back from a weekend of canvassing in Grand Junction, Colorado. It was wonderful. It is a joy to see so many people committed to the Obama campaign.

We left from Salt Lake City Friday evening and drove to Grand Junction; we were quite a group a nurse, a retired state worker, an 18 year old college freshman, and me a 47 year old unemployed quality assurance analyst. (Wow! I really am 47; today is my birthday).

We arrived at the Grand Junction office and were greeted by local volunteers set up with housing from other local volunteers; it was heartwarming the way people opened their homes to us. I have volunteered for a lot of campaigns in my day and this is one of the most organized I have ever been involved in. Not to mention the ground game; it is a stellar organization; I guess that's what happens when you have a community organizer running for President he knows how to get the job done.

I'm fried right now, and need some sleep. I will post more tomorrow; plus I got some great pictures that I want to post.
