Voter Registration / Iowa and New Hampshire Results - Obama January Meetup

We will be providing information and registering Americans to vote in the Global primary (Feb 5th.) from here or vote in their home state primary from here. We will also give information on how to vote in the general election. (a preview of that information can be found at http://www.VoteFromAb...) We will discuss the latest campaign news and the results of the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.

In previous meetup's we have concentrated on discussion and providing information on our candidate. We now come to the most intense stage of the campaign. While we will still take time to discuss and give information to new people and others who remain undecided, our focus turns to action and organizing. How can you help Sen. Barack Obama become the next president of the United States of America? As always those of you who want to be more active please contact me to take part in one or more the committees we've establised.
