The Obama campaign in Virginia is coordinating a statewide canvassing blitz for this Saturday through Monday, February 9-11. We will begin this earnest GOTV phase of the campaign with a high energy kick off event this Saturday morning, where volunteers from all around the region will come together, learn how to canvass, pick up your “walk pack” of campaign literature, and be assigned to neighborhoods for the day’s work.
There’s simply no substitute for face to face contact with voters, and Barack’s team has already proven in state after state that when voters hear about him, they will support him! So come join us to spread the word about the February 12 primary and share your excitement about Barack! See you there….
What: Canvass for Barack Kick Off Rally
When: Saturday, February 9, 2008, 9:30 a.m.
Where: Northern Virginia for Obama HQ, 400 N. Washington Street (Route 29), Falls Church, VA
Who: Any Obama supporter willing and able to walk for a few hours and talk to friendly voters who are already leaning our way. You don’t need to live in Fairfax County to canvass in Fairfax. In fact, we expect volunteers from all neighboring regions to gather together Saturday morning, then break up into teams and canvass all across the region.
[On Sunday and Monday, we will repeat the same exercise for different neighborhoods that weren’t covered on Saturday, but instead of starting at the Falls Church HQ, volunteers will begin the day at designated staging location.]
