9/15

My feet are so sore. Anita Castro and I waited for two hours to see Obama, it was rough (we were in front of some INSANE people) but it was all worth it. Even though we didn't have tickets we were able to SEE Obama and we could hear his message loud and clear. Volunteering at Forward Colorado is not glamorous. For the past couple of days I've been phone banking. Basically I call 200 + people and ask them three simple questions ...

1.) will you be supporting Udall ?
2.) will you be supporting Obama ?
3.) will you be supporting Salazar ?

Usually I don't have people yell at me on the phone, on Saturday I did have someone call me a " n**** lover." I got so upset I just hung up. I wanted to say something rude but as a representative of the Democratic Party you are suppose to be the bigger person. I'm an intern there so I have more pressure put on me and I'm required to complete 10 hours of volunteering per week. It seems like a lot now but in a few weeks I'll be use to it. On Wed. I'll be canvassing for the first time with Claire = ) she's really nice and very intelligent. I love Forward Colorado because no men work there, only women. There are men volunteers but none that actually works there. You'd think they were be catty with each other but all of the women are very professional. We really need volunteers, so if anyone wants to get some volunteer hours for National Honor Society or something PLEASE go to 729 North Ave and phone bank or go canvassing. You don't have to be an intern like me, you can just volunteer for 2 hrs randomly.


We're having a volunteer appreciation party on Friday @ 6 pm. Some of you guys should come, it's pretty lame being the youngest volunteer/intern.lol.
