Yesterday I took a trip downtown to the location of 2 N Meridian Street where the Obama Headquarters stand. You turn from the Circle Center and notice a huge breakage in the glass, but you also notice a Change poster and when you get in front of the building you see people standing outside taking pictures and talking about how it’s such a nice open walk through and there wasn’t that much of a crowd inside but there was enough workers.
My father introduced me to some of the head people there who told me what exactly happened about the window, that a man had thrown a barrier through it while a person was working inside the building. The man has been arrested and he said he would have done it even if it was Clinton’s headquarters. People like that just make you wonder. I also got some free stuff but the point of the matter is people were working there. I was thinking to myself even if Obama loses, these people can proudly say they supported him and actually used their power to register people and to spread the word about him. The same goes for every McCain person and Clinton person. It’s good to just be out there.
I wanted to know how I could volunteer, even though it’s just for an hour a day because I feel since I can’t vote in this election that by sitting here I’m giving up all my power to even support who I would like. Which is pretty obvious now and I know a good writer tries not to side with anyone, but things happen and I try to stay pretty unbiased. I didn’t have time to sign up there but I’ll get to it, because I would like to see what it’s like to work in an environment like that even though at that point it was slow paced.
Obama is coming to visit again April 9, and I’m hopefully going to be in attendance.
