Just Back from Oakland Obama HQ

I just returned from a Obama rally/meeting in Oakland. The energy and enthusiasm again was incredible. Congresswoman Barbara Lee, San Francisco Supervisor Bevan Dufty and many others spoke to a crowd of over 100. Over 600 people had signed up for the event which was originally scheduled for the steps of city hall in San Francisco, but due to the severe storms (for California) the event was moved to Oakland Obama Headquarters. There was a large media presence there as well. It's amazing to be a part of the positive movement for change. Go Obama!

About Me

My photo
Lima, Ohio, United States
I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.
