Hello everyone. First time, long time.

I am currently doing GOTV work for the Obama campaign here in Delaware County. I'm on a quick break before I head out again, but I wanted to convey some disturbing news.

The OFA rep I am reporting to - Nate - relayed a story of how he and other members of OFA in the offices at Media were "detained" for a period of time (up to or over two hours) and not allowed to leave. They were not charged with anything nor were they given an explicit reason as to why they were being held.

And to top it all off, one of the members had her car keys confiscated - again without recourse - and is now in the midst of trying to get around and complete her GOTV without the use of a car.
