This past Saturday I joined
forces with volunteers from Plainfield and a few other nearby municipalities on
a bus trip to Allentown, Pennsylvania. We all came together with Obama for America (OFA)
and headed to Pennsylvania, which is considered one of the swing states. Everyone
on the bus was “fired up and ready to go” to PA to stump for the re-election of
President Obama. It was a diverse group of individuals deeply aware of the
importance of going the distance and leaving no stones unturned. This trip was
organized by Black Women for Obama (Vera Greaves and Audrey Gatling), Latinos
for Obama (Noemi Candia and Chris Estevez), and Madras por Obama (Kim Wei).
There
was also very strong support from the Union County Canvass Coordinator
Carmencita Pile, affectionately known as CT, who was very instrumental in coordinating this group of Obama volunteers who
journeyed to Allentown to "Barack" the vote. The group covered many miles on
the streets of Allentown Baracking on doors to identify registered voters supportive
of President Obama and registering new voters who pledged their support.
All in
all, the bus trip was very successful; it resulted in hundreds of newly registered
voters for Obama. With only 43 days remaining to Election Day, I encourage all
supporters of the President to find volunteer opportunities in their local
communities and to set aside one or two days to go to Pennsylvania to Barack the
vote. We owe it to ourselves, to our families, to the next generation, and to
the future of this country to get involved in this campaign and to get
President Obama re-elected.
Baracking on doors in Allentown this past
Saturday was an experience to remember; it was a way to get involved and to
make a difference.

Adrian
