Drive for Change in Nashua, NH: A Full Day’s Work
September 14, 2008
A day that started out with rain is ending with the sun peeking through the clouds here in Nashua. After a long day of canvassing, the Rhode Island volunteers are beginning to stream back into the field office, and the buses are humming outside, ready to take them home.
With over 100 volunteers who made the trip, people all around Nashua got to hear Barack’s message of change today. One volunteer from Pawtucket, Matt, knocked on almost 130 doors.
Just from being out there, I think the message of someone taking the time and energy to campaign makes a difference. There were some voters that were undecided, and I think I managed to build a rapport with them.
Judy and Elizabeth also had a good experience in the field today. Both from Providence, they saw a great opportunity to correct some of the false impressions that people have of Senator Obama. Judy canvassed undecided voters and was glad to find that people were receptive to what she had to say.
I do believe that I changed some minds. People who were open to listening seemed willing to hear about the issues. A lot of them didn’t know about Senator Obama’s wonderful economic policies, and I was excited to be able to tell them about his economic plan. There were a couple of people who started out ambivalent about him, but I think I got out the facts they needed to hear
Today’s volunteers may be on their way back to Rhode Island, but more will be coming to New Hampshire every day until the election. With only 51 days left, they know that there isn’t a moment to waste. If you live near New Hampshire, sign up to join a Drive for Change caravan. If you’re not in the Northeast, you can visit your state page and find ways to get involved near your home. From Rhode Island? Make sure to keep your eye on the Rhode Island blog for updates from state headquarters.
