My work for Obama...pic heavy!
I'm doing data entry in this call center every weekend...It's fun, tedious, and necessary! We're mostly calling Nevada and South Carolina, but this may be about to change...

At the entrance:


It's a tough, tiring job:


Looking towards the rear of our space: (I'm standing up in the blue shirt)


Charles, Jon, and yours truly:

Where do you live? Here in Ohio, we're done phonebanking... we're all canvass, all the time now. At least that's what's going on down here in Cincinnati!

Edit: Oh, duh. I'm guessing you're in California!!!!

6. Were all these people aware that their pictures would be posted
...on a Democratic website?

Count me paranoid, but I'm incredibly camera-shy at political events. I do NOT need every Freeper in the world knowing my face.

13. No, not all of them...
There aren't any names posted, except for first names...

I think it would be difficult to track these good people...

I started phonebanking and envelope stuffing at 14 myself. It's good to see those young faces there.

Thank you! :hug:

28. Yep, I was a dork but many of us were during that time.
I was working for people like Bobby Kennedy and then shortly after that McGovern.

If that makes me a dork, I wear it proudly.

24. Peggy
I wanted to share with you that Saturday when I was canvassing in Las Vegas while I was talking to a young man at his house his cell phone rang and it was a call from the Obama campaign! He said, "Wow! Pat, a volunteer from California is standing right here!" That made me laugh!

Thanks for your hard work Peggy!!

29. Way to go, CP!
There seems to be a division of labor in these pictures:

some people are telephoning,

and others are entering data into computers.

In one picture, you seem to be supervising a data-enterer.

Or am I reading too much into the picture?

However that may be, you are helping to get the good guys elected.

A very timely effort, indeed!
