A field organizer for the Obama campaign explained to club members at the April 19 meeting how they can get involved in helping to re-elect the president.
Club members responded enthusiastically, signing up to conduct recruiting campaigns, voter registration campaigns, neighborhood canvassing and phone banks to help guarantee success in November.
Annie Roberts, a field director for the campaign, said preparations for the 2012 election are earlier and more extensive even than the precedent-setting successful effort in 2008. She said plans are for Orange County to be assigned its own field coordinator and that voluntees would be organized to conduct regular campaign events in and around Locust Grove.
Ms. Roberts showed an inspiring video about volunteer efforts on behalf of the president all across Virginia and then presented a slide show showing how volunteers would be organized in neighborhoods throughout the Commonwealth to increase efficiency and maximize success.
Teams comprising canvass coordinators, phone bank coordinators, data coordinators and others will work in Lake of the Woods, Locust Grove and Flat Run to insure that the president’s message reaches every eligible voter.
Members of the LOW Democratic Club rushed to sign up for the various team assignments and aren’t wasting any time in getting started. Club members will participate in a voter registration effort in Locust Grove on April 28.
