Thank you to all of you who have signed up (680 and counting between the Obama page, the DNC page and the VA DNC page) and for those who have left me comments when signing up, I've thoroughly enjoyed your great enthusiasm and dedication. I've loved reading your comments and have tried to update the event description and emails to reflect ideas from some of you.
This is a one-day only event before the election!
I would STRONGLY encourage you all to take photos of everything you and your family does to celebrate Barack's birthday on Aug. 4th - even if what you're doing happens to be the day before or after - especially birthday card making, fundraising, bake sales, etc. Make sure there are lots of Happy Birthday signs and Obama signs in the photos. Afterwards, you can send the photos here:
Please email all of your photos to photos@barackobama.com.
Also, to actually send birthday cards and photos directly to Barack, here is the info:
To reach the Campaign Headquarters by phone, please call: (866) 675-2008
You can contact us by mail at:
Obama for America
P.O. Box 8102
Chicago, IL 60680
To donate on August 4th, go to www.barackobama.com and on the first page, click on the "Donate Here" button.
Special thanks to Brian Gustafson for holding a local BBQ Fundraiser & Happy Birthday event for which he has confirmed attendance of 150 people! Yay Brian!
Just to let you know, I plan to make donations throughout the day on August 4th and separate ones to memorialize and honor those who have written to me about having the same birthday or having lost a loved one on that date. I also plan on making a donation in memory of Kitty, a young US soldier who died this week from an infection due to wounds inflicted in Iraq. She leaves a husband and two young children.
I have so enjoyed reading your comments and suggestions. And, especially your enthusiasm. It's such a joy. Thank you all so very much.
Finally, as I know you've heard me say (to death, I know) that I personally cannot reach everyone on www.barackobama.com or on the DNC website. I really need your help!! Please just send the event site (one of the two Obama websites at the beginning of this message)to all your friends and Obama and DNC Groups and anyone at all you think might be interested, it would help so much. Some of you belong to hundreds of groups!
Thank you all again. Words cannot express my appreciation. Not just for me, but for Barack and all of us!
Fondly, Cathi
PS - If you already signed up on the DNC link or on the Virginia DNC link, could you please go to one of the posted links on the Obama pages listed and sign up there as well? It would really help me out with keeping an accurate count, plus I can email all the attendees at once as opposed to going to three different sites to do it. Thanks!
