Hi everyone,

Volunteer Headquarters at 300 W. Adams St. has closed. Yes, it’s been a big change for all of us to adjust to - that place became a second home for very many of us. The lease we signed with the building was only for one year, and it expired on April 30th. As many of you know, we had our final farewell event on the evening of the Pennsylvania Primary on April 22nd -- we even had a contest and gave out a prize (a book autographed by Senator Obama) to the person who had made the most calls in the final weeks.

We thank you all for your dedication to helping Barack Obama by volunteering there for the past year: The successes that the campaign has enjoyed have been in large part due to the hard work of the giant family of volunteers thatʹs come together behind this candidate. There are many ways you can still help Barack Obama:

-- Help us win Indiana by knocking on doors there! Our Illinois campaign has shifted its entire focus to canvassing in Indiana. Itʹs less than 1 hour away " please give us a hand by knocking on votersʹ doors in Indiana, your help is crucial! You can either go to http://in.barackobama.com/CometoIN or call (317) 917‐2008 to schedule your canvassing trip.

-- Make calls from home using the web‐based calling tool located at http://my.barackobama.com/call.

-- Get 25 or more people together to host your very own phone bank! Once you have 25 people lined up with phone lines, send an email to illinois@barackobama.com and weʹll be able to provide you with everything you need to host a successful phone bank.

Again, thanks for all that youʹve done and all that you continue to do. Your help throughout this historic campaign has been the key to our success.

Sincerely,

Melissa

by the hundreds but by the thousands, Barack their has been a sudden shift in our direction, the Super Delegates are moving, guess they did not want to wait until it was politically correct. The people are much smarter then what they thought.

And why do you think he has the money? It's from people like me (semi-retired) who want a better life for our grandchildren. I'd spend my savings for that! Bundling? Yes my wife and I have bundled! And why does he spend the money? Because he can!

I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY HOW YOU FAIL TO COMPREHEND! Re: "Cold hard Facts....Candidates!"...let's see there are two, you must be a Republican! Get a grip, it will be over soon. Settle down, it's OK settle down.
