This may be the most effective diary you've read today.
The General Election has started... Get on Board Obama Volunteers. May 10th, we rise as One and Change the Playing Field Forever.
Last night there were 4912 signed up. As of Noon EST, there are 5,568! And the first diary didn't even make it to the Rec list.
You'll note below, Some states have more spirit than others... Utah is certainly blazing a trail. Take a look, find your state, your city, join up, circulate this diary, send it to your local Obama Groups, Grow your numbers.
Total as of Noon EST Tuesday- 5598 Volunteers Ready for Change! These are Volunteers who are joining together in the Vote for Change events across the country, already 100 events plus, who will gather through the mybo.com website and go out into their community to register new Voters across the country. New voters are usually Democratic in their leanings.
This is going to get the ball rolling on what will, by the end of it, be the largest Voter Registration Drive in the History of the USA. Barack Obama is famous for his Voter Registration Successes in the early 90's in Chicago, and gathering the will of his 1.5M Donors, channeling the energy of his thousands of volunteers, Obama will swell the Rolls across the country in every state.
Note that all of these events are set up by locals. If your city or town doesn't have an event, please, create one and make note in the comments. And if you find I've missed a city or town, please, give me a link. I worked with the earlier diary which fished out all the events through the main webportal and at this point, there are many places like Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Denver, Boulder, Baton Rouge, and others which need an event/host.
