Quick Update!

Hi everyone.

So, I had my "intake process" about my "deployment" for the Obama campaign today. I'm all set to go on October 1. I told them the 5 or 6 field offices that were closest to the place I'll be staying -- they're going to call around and find out who needs me most. I'm guessing I'll be working in Media or Chester.

Two things they told me, that I am passing on to you:

1. Voter Registration is the big deal in Pennsylvania right now. They are trying to register 50,000 new voters in Philadelphia alone before the registration deadline, which is October 6. They have lists of who is not registered to vote and they are calling and knocking on the doors of these people, but they need a lot more help! If you can take the bus down to Philadelphia for even ONE DAY between now and October 6th, they really, really, really need more people on the ground. Can you take one day off of work? For America? Sign up at ny.barackobama.com under "drive for change." (P.S. If this is true in PA, it is probably also true in other swing states as well. People with access to Ohio, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, Colorado, Florida, take note!)

2. Please consider taking election day off, and going to Pennsylvania to get out the vote. They've got a massive operation planned for the day, and need all the bodies they can get. Note: This means you will have to vote absentee in New York, but on the upside, it means you can hang out with ME on election night, which will be epic.

Audley out.
