A (slightly-modified) message from our friends in New Hampshire…

We finally have information regarding all the democratic debate activities. Can you join Upper Valley for Obama supporters for the following events?

Our moment has arrived! We need EVERYONE to try and attend the following events next week. The eyes of NH and the eyes of the country will be on Hanover, NH on Wednesday, September 26th as it hosts the DNC-sponsored Democratic Candidates’ Debate.

This is our moment to make a big impact for the campaign, and show the press and public that the Obama candidacy is DIFFERENT! We will not have another opportunity like this before the primary—we need to rally all our troops and be seen and heard!

First, join other Upper Valley supporters at the newly opened Lebanon office (57 Mechanic St. in Lebanon, next to Steve’s Pet Shoppe in the Rivermill complex) on Tuesday, September 25^th any time from 4 pm to 8 pm for Pre-rally prep. Pick up signs and t-shirts, make some homemade signs, call supporters, and plan for the big debate events. It will be a fun and energy-filled evening, and a great chance to put names to faces and get to know each other before our big public debut at the debate. RSVP your attendance here. Bring creative ideas, and supplies like poster boards, paints, markers, supplies to make sandwich signs- anything that can creatively and positively represent your support for Senator Obama while complying with the debate visibility rules (see below). There will be many supporters for all the candidates, but we will be THE grassroots group at his visibility.

Then, SIGN UP TO ATTEND THE DEBATE RALLY! Meet Wednesday, Sept. 26^th at the campaign office in the Rivermill Commercial complex at 5:30 pm, and then we will carpool over to the debate visibility event, which will run until about 9 p.m.. Parking in Hanover will be hard to come by, so carpooling is very important! If needed, carpool cars can park at Upper Valley for Obama members’ homes near the event site, and be shuttled in. We will have our grassroots logo on t-shirts and signs, our banner if allowed, blue glowstick “O’s”, rally signs, chants and cheers- you name it! Please familiarize yourself with the Debate Visibility Rules here; there are very specific rules about signage, sound, and parking.

If you are available to help prepare for this event earlier than 5:30 pm, please email info@vermontersforobama.org ASAP.

Need housing? Email info@vermontersforobama.org and we will try to set you up….

**WE NEED ALL OUR MEMBERS HERE- PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ATTEND!!**

Once the debate begins at 9 p.m., we head over to Everything But Anchovies (EBAs) for a debate watch and after party! WE MUST HAVE RSVPS FOR THIS EVENT TO COORDINATE WITH THE RESTAURANT- so if you want to attend- and it will be very exciting and likely attract press attention- SIGN UP HERE. Do not miss out on the opportunity to watch the debate with a large group of supporters- it promises to be great!
