Join ObamaWorks Community Service
Apr 30, 2008

Focus:Politics
Action Request:Volunteer
Location:United States
There's a great new idea for the Obama campaign that my friend Peregrin has written about, but it's been almost totally neglected by the news media. You all know the kind of frustration that comes with seeing the superficial rumor-mongering about Obama run as top news in the media, while the positive message of Obama himself, and the good work done by his supporters, stays out of sight on the TV news.

You can help counter that problem by starting up an ObamaWorks chapter near you. ObamaWorks organizes groups of people to engage in acts of community service while wearing Barack Obama buttons. it's a simple, gentle way of campaigning that really ought to get more attention from local news. It communicates the message that Barack Obama supporters are working in a positive way to help make America better.

There's no scandal. Nothing negative. ObamaWorks is a way for you to take the high road in the 2008 election - just like Barack Obama is doing himself.
