Chicago Update

As I fall into the routine of a family with an infant, things start to progress with the campaign.

In the last few days, my prodding has paid off. I have come into contact with an impressive grassroots organization supporting Obama in Evansville. They have a core organizing group of 5 close friends and regularly pull in over 100 people for their events. They are pleased to have support in Chicago, as they have been frustrated by the lack of support from the campaign. I find it easy to empathise.

However, on the campaign's side, things are coming together, as well. I have established some sort of heirarchy within the campaign. Furthermore, we now have communication with the appropriate person within the campaign.

And things are progressing quickly. The emailbox (is that a word?!) is filling quickly. Issues are being addressed, but, more importantly, a dialogue is commencing.

Amidst all of this, support is coming through from within. At each step, I communicate back to Cali to find Kelli (musicbox) right there with me. We're quickly establishing a rhythm for the tag team we'll need come crunch time. With this support, I have the assurance that the Galveston peeps are in the wings, too.

So thanks everyone, if you read this!
