Obama Charleston Staff Not Shy in Asking for ONE Bands
Barack Obama opened his Charleston, South Carolina, presidential campaign office on Thursday. Everyone I talked to at the event seemed to be on the same page: that America needs to do more for the poverty and disease global crises. More than a few agreed that fighting extreme poverty and AIDS was a great idea to bolster the image of the United States while simultaneously helping people who desperately need a helping hand. No one was shy when it came to asking for ONE wrist bands either!
Barack Obama’s brother in-law, Craig Robinson, was the main speaker. Although I was unable to introduce myself to Mr. Robinson, I talked with a number of other individuals like Kevin Puelo and Lauren Champagne who are key players in Obama’s campaign in Charleston.
