Home again, home again, jiggiddy jig!
Our weekend in Akron was happily successful. 26 people from Rochester made up the group. Before we headed back out on Sunday, the group had knocked on 900 doors, made contact with 300 voters and swayed a total of 26. In 2004’s election, Kerry lost by 9 votes per precinct in Ohio. I’d say we did very well.
The biggest issue out there, unfortunately, seems to be Pro-life vs Pro-choice.
It was my experience that former Hillary voters had come over to Obama’s side, albeit somewhat grudgingly and they wanted to voice their frustration that Hillary was not picked for VP.
There are caravans going out to swing states regularly. Check out rochesterforobama’s website if you would like to get involved. The calendar is right there, so you can work it into your schedule. I will be traveling to Cleveland over the election weekend and staying past election. I encourage anyone who cares about the future of our children, our country and our world to become an activist for Hope!
