I'm In!
That was my response to a text message yesterday inviting Obama supporters to a 'Grassroots Event' to be held on the Summerfest Grounds on Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, WI. I was lucky enough to see BHO during the 2008 election, in a smaller closed venue, and I cant wait to be part of the sea of supporters Saturday, Sept. 22.
But I am not going alone.
In 2008, like many youngins of the same age, my 2.5-yr old loved Obama. She loved Michelle and the kids, too...but she really loved Obama. She always got excited when she saw him on TV (even grainy, dark-cloud anti-Obama ads that showed him in less than positive lights!) and, more than that, loved saying his name. O-BA-MA, O-BA-MA!
So now I am taking her on Saturday. How many kids get to say that they saw the President of the United States? I am convinced it will be a moment for her to cherish.
I picked up 2 tickets this morning from one of our local MKE OFA offices (in a deeply segregated city, the diversity of OFA offices are always a nice change of pace).
If you live in WI...tickets are still available at offices around the MKE area:
