This morning I received this email from a friend who lives just north of Houston. She was thrilled to find that an obama field office has just opened near her home. This is what she had to say.
"Just found out that the Montgomery County Democratic Party has opened an office in Conroe. I stopped by yesterday to sign up to volunteer. It was comforting to finally meet, in my home town, some intelligent, like-minded women. Sadly, given where I live, they told me the office windows have already been egged!!!! I'll be in Chicago this weekend for a college roommate get-away but when I return will start some volunteering. Most of it involves phone calls to those who voted democrat in the primaries. Interestingly, they've accidentally contacted some Republicans who voted democrat upon Rush Limbaugh's advice. His "brilliant" idea was if all the Republicans voted for Hillary in the primary and she became the nominee, she would lose easily against a Republican in the presidential election. The volunteers have also encountered a few racists - one person could never vote for a Black for president but could vote for his white vp choice; another person said she would be voting for the white half of Obama. Oy!!!!!!!!!"
