http://calitics.com Calitics Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:54:46 GMT http://calitics.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6352 I had a <a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/manage/4ljp">voter registration event</a> posted on <a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/search_simple">my.barackobama.com</a> on the 4th and it was a great experience. &nbsp;It got a <a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/amandascott/gGxdzZ">post</a> about it on the <a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/hqblog">main Obama blog</a>, where they even used a lot of my writeup about why I'm doing voter registration. &nbsp; I have to say, as someone who's never used the MySpace or the Facebook, that using MyBO was super easy for setting up and managing the event. <p>I encourage you all to use it, particularly because there's a lot of crossover with what other folks are doing. &nbsp;I'm hoping to help match up people who are on MyBO with events that the local Dem club is doing (Torrance) and to help <a href="http://www.debbiecookforcongress.com/">Debbie Cook</a> in the race just next door on the Palos Verdes peninsula in CA-46. &nbsp; <p>I really wish I'd seen the picture of the awesome sign in <a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/amandascott/gGxln7">this post</a> before my event. &nbsp;It was used in Colorado, but it could be used just as easily in California. &nbsp;Our group were really only pushing registration/re-registering, but we could have also gone for perm. absentee registrations, volunteer recruitment, and better visibility for the campaign. &nbsp; Next time... <p>If you're in the South Bay and want to get involved in voter reg, please let me know. &nbsp;pdandpb AT earthlinkDOTnet. <br /> &nbsp; <br /> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 04:30:54 GMT PeteB2 http://calitics.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6352
