I agreed to work a phone bank early this evening for Barack Obama and Al Franken. The phone bank was in a union office about a 10 minute car ride from my house.
While traveling to the phone bank, I saw a home in my neighborhood with a big yellow auction sign on it. It reminded me that my volunteer time is important.
I also passed some interesting scenery, some of which let me know I am in a dark blue part of Minnesota.
The union office was on the 5th floor, and upon entering it, my eyes were immediately drawn to an old framed portrait of Hubert Humphrey, a symbol of Minnesota's progressive roots.
I called about 200 homes. A computer program did the dialing, and I had a script that gave me some guidelines about where to begin. Some persons I spoke with didn't know their polling place or who their candidates were for Congress. They would write down what I told them. I also let them know that we could offer rides to the polling places.
I visited the Obama HQ after working the phone bank. I passed it on the way back to where I parked my car.
And for my hard work, I had a chance to meet with Barack Obama and Joe The Biden.

I know how busy you are and every person volunteering what time they have is making a difference. We are all making a difference. I am so proud to call you my brother. You have set an example for me my whole life. I am going back to spend yet another day and Dem HQ in lil' ol Bryson City, NC. Every call, every door helps. We are really trying to turn NC Blue this year one person at a time.
Love the pics
