Obama For America/California

Disclaimer: I am a volunteer for Obama for America in California, but I am speaking for myself and based on my personal experience as a volunteer, not for the campaign in any way. You can read my other posts about the campaign here.

More than two months after the California primary, Obama campaign volunteers are still organized and working around the state. Having built a cadre of trained grassroots organizers to contend for votes on February 5, the campaign isn’t letting this resource go to waste. Here in the Bay Area we have been busy running volunteer-based phonebanks to call other states, including Texas, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Oregon. Right now we are sending teams of volunteers to help out on the ground in Oregon.

Here's an e-mail California delegate candidates (who survived the purge at least) received from CDP Chair Art Torres: 

"As we approach this weekend's Congressional District Caucuses, the final list of those who will be on the ballot in each CD is now posted at www.cadem.org/finalapplicants. Per the National Delegate Selection Rules, each campaign reviewed  the applications and returned to the California Democratic Party the approved list of District delegate applicants.

Caucuses to elect the delegates will take place everywhere in the state at 3:00 p.m., with sign-in and voting starting at 2:00 p.m.

The California Democratic Party has put up a widget on our website where you can point your supporters to go and pre-register for the caucuses. All you have to do is go to www.cadem.org and look on the right-hand side -- then just fill in the blanks and follow the prompts. Although pre-registration is not required, you can cut down the long lines and help out the campaign volunteers who are staging these events by taking this simple step ahead of time. The deadline for pre-registration is Thursday, April 10th at 5:00 p.m.

There's more...

This Sunday, April 13, you get to pick the delegates who will be sent from California to the Democratic National Convention in Denver next August. Whether you support Sen. Hillary Clinton or Sen. Barack Obama, you'll have a chance to determine who goes to Denver and who watches on TV.

The caucuses to elect the delegates will take place on April 13th everywhere in the state at 3:00 p.m., with sign-in and voting starting at 2:00 p.m. You must be in line by 3 p.m. to receive a ballot.

Every aspect of the 2008 Democratic presidential race has generated lots of enthusiasm and excitement, so we expect that these caucuses will be very well attended. This raises the likelihood of long lines as people sign in to get their ballots.

In order to cut down on the waiting time, the California Democratic Party has developed the widget below to allow attendees to pre-register online.

The deadline for pre-registration is Thursday, April 10th at 12:00 Noon.

Just fill in the blanks and follow the prompts. You can cut down on the long lines and help out the campaign volunteers who are staging these events by taking this simple step ahead of time.
