What Grassroots Feels Like

Team Obama 2012!
I don't mean to be cheesy, but there were 2 things about the last canvass I did that I think need to be shared. First, I was amazed by how many people we talked to that were willing to sign up and volunteer too. Most of them. It wasn't like that in '08 NC. 

The second thing was how many people thanked us for doing what we were doing. We talked to a 92 year old southern belle who shared pictures of her late husband, and the best moment of the whole trip, for me,  was when we met a 17 year old young man from Mexico. 


He told us that he can't vote in November, but he's currently working to attain citizenship. He told us thank you before we left and it was one of the most sincere gratitudes I've ever heard in my life. 


So, I guess my entire point of this post today is to say that the people who say the system is too corrupt to ever change and we're just all doomed, you're wrong. Why? Because yes we did. Team Democrats!
