Just got off the phone with a volunteer

Just after I had posted in this thread,

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=16827

that I was doing more than I ever have for a candidate my phone rang and it was a volunteer. I could tell he was an older man and he said that I was on the list to call to remind people that Hillary will be appearing in Cleveland. Told him that unfortunately I live too far south in Ohio to make that long of a trip. He assured me that she would be in my city soon. He noticed my excitement over that and was chuckling and said "hold on now, hold on now - I did not say she would be there anytime soon"

He got a kick out of my excitement and before we hung up I thanked him for doing one of the most important things a citizen can do for a candidate - volunteer. He then said "I'm going to do what it takes to get her elected"

Anyhow, just wanted to share a little exchange I had just now and that the enthusiasm is definitely out there for Hillary.

states and know she needs to spend her time and efforts for the biggest bang. She has my vote without any more effort, I do like to see where she is on daily stops on the campaign trail. I would like to see her if she gets close.

It was when Bill was running the first time and he came to my home town to speak. She was with him. I will remember that day the rest of my life!

I hope she does come near you soon!
