Jamestown and Warren Democrats kick off Fall Presidential Campaign
Warren Democrats last week held an organizational meeting for the local Presidential campaign with Democratic Co-Chairperson Karen Davis and County Commissioner President John Eggleston in attendance. The group agreed to continue a voter registration drive and will have an information booth at the Warren County Fair to be held August 5-9 in Pittsfield.
Members noted that it can be quite difficult to obtain Obama signs, bumper stickers, and buttons and those who participated in the April Presidential Primary were urged to bring any extra campaign materials to Karen Davis for distribution at the County Fair and at a proposed headquarters when the location is announced. Members were asked to let their friends and acquaintances know that they can register to vote all the way up to approximately October 3rd (or 30 days before election day, which is Tuesday, November 4, 2008). Registration forms are easy to fill out and can be obtained from a campaign committee member or at the election office or county commissioners office in the Warren County Courthouse.
Prospective Warren County voters can call the Elections office at 204 Fourth Avenue in Warren at 728-3406 for more information.
In Jamestown, the Democratic Committee is going ahead with plans to open a Presidential Campaign Headquarters by holding an HQ Fundraiser on Saturday, August 23 at St. John's Church Hall, located at 270 Newton Avenue. The event starts at 5 p.m. with a 6 p.m. dinner that costs $30 to benefit the headquarters. Obama lawn signs will be handed out at the dinner. Warren residents are welcome to attend and may register at this link. This is an officially approved Obama for President event.
Warren and Jamestown Obama supporters originally met in March of 2008. To view photos of the Obama Presidential Primary Campaign in Warren County, visit this link.
