Big Night in Milwaukee

We just wrapped up the Grand Opening of the Milwaukee Obama Office. I'm going on 14 hours of work today and I still haven't had dinner so I'm going to make this quick.

The numbers....

A lot of us would have been happy with 150 people at the opening, but we had over 470 people sign-in. Many couples or families arrived and one person signed up to represent the whole family, so by our expert estimation, we called it 550 people. It was off the hook.

Out of that group we got over 100 hardcore volunteers and scheduled over 300 volunteer shifts.

75 people were deputized so they can help us register voters in Milwaukee.

We blew the other cities in Wisconsin out of the water. Today was our day to shine and the movement started off with a bang tonight. Goodnight.
