Excitement at our house....

[Freedomofspeech]

We are the Staging Center for the Obama campaign for the next 3 weekends. People out canvassing and phone banking here. What a beautiful thing to be surrounded by good, bright liberal people....it's tough in redneck Western PA.

1. How exciting! Thanks for doing this good work!

[beac]

2. Bravi, Freedomofspeech & family!

Thanks for all you are doing to re-elect Obama!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Good for you!

They are lucky to have your house for their staging center. It must be difficult to find people willing to do this.

Thank you for your generosity!

4. A salute to you from the eastern side of PA

[tallahasseedem]

8. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh divided by Missouri. I learned what that meant the hard way. K&R n/t

9. These weeks, especially after Monday's debate is when everyone is

paying attention. I hope you experience a lot of enthusiastic phone recipients.

10. Woo Hoo

Thanks for all your hard work....

[liberal N proud]

11. Here is what to expect...

We did that in 2008.

You are going on a wild ride, dozens if not hundreds of people excited to reelect the President will be there. At times, it will seem like nothing is happening and others you place will seem like grand central station.

The neat thing is the sense of being involved in something really big.

The closer you get to election day, the wilder it will get. Expect lots of personal disruption and little personal time, that is for after the election.

Don't forget to enjoy the experience.

Good luck and thank you for your commitment, the stakes are too high.

I was prepared to do it again this year, but someone else beat me to it.

12. Where in western Pa?

I'm from Ligonier, originally.

[Freedomofspeech]

14. Scottdale, Mt. Pleasant...

Was just in Ligioner for breakfast on Thursday. Romney signs everywhere

[hootinholler]

17. Not surprising at all

It's a very, very R area.

Wow, is Peasant Village still around? Back in the day that was always a big deal for us to go there.

[strongermessage]

18. Nope...

It closed several years ago...it was a big deal back in the day.

20. As I drove through Pennsylvania

On Friday, I took a picture of a towing company truck with a "Don't Re-Nig" bumper sticker near Harrisburg. I'm debating whether or not to post it on DU because it has the company name and phone number clearly on the truck.

[hootinholler]

21. I think that deserves its own OP

People should know if the towing company they are calling is racist or not. That guy was stupid enough to proclaim it in public, I think they deserve some free advertisement.

[phylny]

22. I'm still away but will post it when

I return home.

[JackN415]

13. Fantastic, cheers to you n/t

[young_at_heart]

15. As a former 'Pittsburgher', I appreciate your comments

It IS tough in those areas----I remember!

[strongermessage]

16. At least the city will go Obama...

Westmoreland County used to be blue but it is now as red as can be.

19. Thank you, Freedomofspeech!

I'm sure it is such a refreshing Change!
