“ONE”ing Obama and a Llama in Iowa
Share
.
Last Sunday, more then 2,000 people gathered to welcome Senator Barack Obama to Luther College in Decorah, IA. Our Luther College ONE Campaign group met before the event to write letters to Senator Obama about poverty and HIV/AIDS worldwide. After, we headed over to start tabling and spreading awareness about ONE Vote ‘08.
Many visitors came to our table and signed up for ONE. While we were tabling, a llama (that was brought for the rally) stopped by, so naturally we thought this was a perfect opportunity to “ONE” the llama!
Finally, we marked our spots early so that when Barack Obama entered the event area, we were able to put a ONE band on him right away. He did this with no hesitation of any kind! But it gets even better, because throughout the entire speech he spoke about poverty, primary education, health care, and most of all, HIV/AIDS.
We were able to get the whole event on video that can be seen here. and here.
