Obama office opening

Last Thursday August 7th five ONE Members and I attended the official campaign office opening for Barack Obama in Harrisburg, PA. The energy during the event was unbelievable! Our volunteers were able to speak to many people in attendance about ONE and our ONE Vote ‘08 initiative.

Mayor ReedMayor Steven R. Reed was the key note speaker for the evening. The Mayor gave an inspiring speech to a giant crowd that filled the office all the way out the front door! Our ONE members were also able to take a photo with Obama Regional Field Director Alex Kragie. Also pictured is Mayor Reed who was extremely receptive to the idea of Harrisburg becoming a ONE City!
