this was originally posted on my.barackobama.com site: "obama-er in alaska-Liz"We just got back from the Alaska State Dem convention. what a truly amazing experience! the people of this campaign are amazing, from the people who merely walked in the door because they heard of 'something going on at the fairgrounds,' to the organizers, and, well everyone!
it was so inspiring to help work the obama table at the convention, amongst my other district obligations this weekend and meet so many great, hardworking people. my district, 35, was truly 'out in force,' and i'm so proud to be a part of it! we've been working so hard since our amazing Super Tuesday turnout - we were number 2 in the state second only to juneau (anchorage had many as well, but is composed of many districts). Not only that, but about 1/3 of our turnout had switched their political affiliation that night to participate, so important in this state where republican has been the norm for so many years. looks like people are tired of crooks running things!
it is so much fun to be a part of this wave of hope washing our country towards change!
i am so proud of everyone i've met through this campaign, and the amazing individuals that have come out to support democrats, in essence, the people, no matter who they are backing.
I am honored and proud to be an Obama Alaska Alternate Delegate and to be on the floor at the convention this August in Denver. Our Alaskan delegate family is strong, diverse and inclusive. Please let me know what you care about, think and need.
Thank you for all the amazing work you do, and the strong hope and courage you infect others with.
SI SE PUEDE!
