Our Party BlogHave your say about all things democraticMay 12, 2008"VOTE FOR CHANGE" REGISTRATION DRIVE DREW OVER 50 VOLUNTEERS TO HEADQUARTERS
I am proud to say that Democrats locally had great success on Saturday, May 10. State Rep. Tommie Brown kicked off the voter registration drive, and Justin Wilkins, an Obama Delegate from our Congressional District 3, coordinated with us at the Hamilton County Democratic Party to stage the drive this past weekend. Here's what Justin had to say about the kickoff:Over 50 local grassroots volunteers for the Obama campaign participated in Chattanooga's "Vote for Change Kickoff," registering more than 140 new voters in Southeast Tennessee. "Vote for Change" was a kickoff to a six-month voter registration drive aimed at getting millions more Americans registered to vote and involved in the democratic process ahead of the November election. Volunteer groups in Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville and over 100 other cities across the country (in every state) joined in this unprecedented voter registration and mobilization drive. The local "Vote for Change" began at 10:30 a.m. with a diverse group of over 50 volunteers at the Hamilton County Democratic Party Headquarters. Representative Tommie Brown delivered a moving introduction. She shared her story about the importance of voting and registering more Americans, regardless of party or candidate along with the power of giving more people a voice in the direction of their country. Following the introduction teams were dispatched to over 30 locations around the city in groups of two to six.
